For about the second time since Worcestershire became a firai-classcjunty they took ihe field without a Foster in the team, and G. E Bromley-Martin acted as captain. On the other band Sussex had to do without Ranjitsinbji, while Vine had injured his foot badly and could not bowl. Worcestershire ^on the toss, and on a slow but not difficult wicket kept in all the first day, scoring *33 runs for the less of two wickets. There was an interruption of play for an hour in the afternoon on account of rain. The chief feature of the day’s cricket wss the patient batting of W. S. Caldwell, who made his first hun­ dred in first-class cricket. He went in first and was not out with 123 to hia credit when stumps were drawn; he had then been tatting for three hours and-a-h^lf. He was nearly an hour on the next morning in makiog ten more tuns before he was caught at cover point. His fine innings had a great deal to do with the success of his side. Wheldon, who was not out 35 overnight, continued to play a good game and received valuable assistance from Bromley-Martin. Both men played slow oiicket, the former taking two h )urs to make bis first fifty, and the latter onJy scoxing a single in the firsttwenty minutes. Gaukrodger and Pearson both batted well, and were very comfortably settled when the innings was declared elosed at lunch time. Vine was too lame to go in first with Fry when Sussex began their innings, and the result was somewhat disheartening. Fry waa bowled by Wilson's third ball, and when tbe total was 22 half the wickets were down. Afterwards Vine, who went in late, kept up his wicket easily enough, but could get no one to stay with him, and a follow-on was nece3sary—356 runs behind. There was nothing in the state of the wicket to explain the small total made by Sussex. The situation was about ao unpromising as it could be, and when Fry was out in the first over Worces­ tershire had the match ia hand. Vine and Killick then played out time, the former being not out 29 and the latter not out 36, with the total at 65 for one wicket. On Saturday the two not out’s added 33 before they were separated, their partnership having produced 97 runs. But after this the bowlers had an easy task, Relf alone offering any resistance to them.

Played at Leyton on July 30, 31, and Aug. 1. Middlesex won by 7 wickets. Although the weather at Leyton on the first day of this match was fine as far as things go this season, the wicket dried so slowly that no play was possible on the first day. Nor did any play take place on the next day until after an early lunch, when Essex went to the wickets and had an unfortunate time. Sewell was finely stumped on the leg side after makiog the first five runs, and then Fane played for safety, while Perrin made 19 out ot the next 23. The total was now 28, and three sad disasters befell the Essex team, for before another run was made Fane, Perrin, and McGahey were all out. After this Essex made no headway, and Reeves and Buckenham alone offered any effective resistance to the bowling. A. P. Lucas was run out, not being able to recover himself in time when sent back by Reeves. Beldam took the last three wickets in three overs for three runs. Middlesex had an hour and forty minutes’ batting before stumps were drawn, and scored 75 for the loss of three wickets, so that they were within 14 of the Essex total. Moon, who batted with the utmost patience during the whole time, was not out 29; while Wells, who made his first appearance in the team this season, made the same score in an hour less. Middlesex were without 1*. F. Warner, who wa* suffering from a slight cold. On Saturday Moon played admirable cricket, but received very little assistance, and when the innings came to an end he was still unconquered; his complete innings lasted for three hours. E. A. Beldam stayed in for twenty-five minutes with him, but did not make a run. Essex had to go in against a balance of 47. Again Sewell and McGahey failed—the latter for the second time in the match being out for a duck’s egg. At lunch time three wickets were down and still Middlesex held a lead of nine runs. Fane did his best to help his side, and held out for a couple of hours, but when Wells came on the end was very near. Middlesex had to make 53 to win, and again L. J. Moon played capital cricket.

AN INNINGS OF 210 BY IREMONGER. Played at Trent Bridge on July 30, 31 and August 1. Notts won by an innings and 36 runs. For Notts G. T. Branston, an old Carthusian, made his dcDut and met with considerable success, re­ maining at the wickets for an hour and a half in partnership with Iremonger and scoring 39 runs. J. A. Dixon and W . Gunn were away. On the Kent side, S. H. Day made his reappearance in the team. Owing to showery weather the game did not begin until three o’clock, when Notts went in and made the very best use of their time. Jones and Iremonger put up 82 for the first wicket at about the rate of a run a minute, and G. Gunn and Iremonger 39 for the second wicket. For the third wicket Branston and Iremonger made 132 in an hour and a half, the latter scoring nearly three-fourths of the runs. When stumps were drawn the total was 267 for the loss of three wickets; the runs were put together in three hours and a half. Iremonger, who had been batting all this time, was not out 149. He survived on the next morning until he had made 210 out of 380 in five hours and ten minutes, his brilliant innings including twenty-five 4’s. He received useful assistance from G. Guon and Dexter. At lunch time the innings was declared closed. Kent had now rathera bad time of it, and although several men stayed in for some time, no one ever obtained anything like a mastery over the bowling, J. Gunn being in specially fine form, and keeping a first rate length. Kent had to follow on, and made 59 for the loss of Alec Hearne before the day’s play ended, E. W . Dillon being not out 32, and Seymour not out 11. They were thus 245 runs behind. On Saturday they made a most determined attempt to put a better appearance on the game, and managed to hold out until nearly four o’clock Dillon was at the wickets for two hours for his admirable 77, while Seymour, Burnup, Day and Hardinge all made very useful scores.
