Played at Taunton on August 8, 9 and 10. Worcestershire won by five wickets. The pace with which Wilson’s bowling came off the pitch on the first day of this match caused the Somer­ setshire batsmen to give several chances to the slips, who misjudged them badly. Lewis, who made the highest score for his side, was especially fortunate in escapiDg. Robson played a most attractive game, making his 87 in an hour and twenty minutes, and Lee played very well indeed. Worcestershire went in for fifty minutes at the end of the day, and scored 60 runs without loss ; Caldwell was not out 21, and Bowley not out 35. A remarkable innings by H. K. Foster, who scored 65 runs in 28 minutes by the most brilliant hitting, was the chief feature of Tuesday’s cricket, but G. N. Foster also played an exceedingly fine game. When the day’s play ended Somerset had made 114 in their second innings for the loss of five wickets and were 70 runs on. Yesterday they could only give Worcestershire the task of making 165 to win, and the visitors had not much difficulty in accomplishing this. S o m erset . First innings. L. C. H Palairet, c H. K.

YORKSHIRE v. MIDDLESEX. Played at Sheffield on August 8, 9 and 10. Drawn. The advantage of having a bowler whose methods are somewhat out of the ordinary run, was very obvious on Monday, when, on an excellent wicket, most of the Yorkshire batsmen failed to make any­ thing of the bowling of Bosanquet, who for a time met with such success that a very small total seemed in store for Yorkshire. Half the wickets were down for 53 run?, all of them falling to Bosanquet for 33 runs. Meanwhile Denton was playing splendid cricket, and when he was joined by Rhodes the success of Boeaoquet came to an abrupt end. At lunch time the score was 152, the p irtnership having then produced 99 runs in a little over an hour. Fifty-two more runs were added before Denton was dismissed for a brilliant 91, which took him two hours and a quarter to compile. Rhodes was dis­ missed shortly afterwards for an exceedingly well played 76, and then Ernest Smith and Haigh played an attractive game. The result of the fine efforts of the tail was that 266 runs were put on by the last five wickets. Middlesex had to bat for fifty minutes, and scored 40 runs for the loss of Warner. The two Douglases played fine cricket on Tuesday morning, and while together put on 106 runs in fifty five minutes. They left at the same total, 149, and although Bosanquet was in brilliant form six wickets were down for 234 runs. With only two wickets in hand Middlesex were still 40 runs behind, but More then joined Bosanquet and the Yorkshire bowlers were soon hit all over the field. The scoring now tecame very rapid. In twenty minutes 50 runs were added, in forty minutes 100 runs, and 128 before the partnership was broken. It was a splendid perfor­ mance on the part of each man. The tired bowlers were not allowed to rest, for J. T. Hearne and More put on 91 runs for the last wicket. Before stumps were drawn Yorkshire lost three good wickets for 61, all lbw to Bosanquet. Yesterday the Yorkshiremen played so well that they were able to declare when nine wickets were down. Jackson played a splendid innings, and Denton Tunnicliffe, Hirst and Smith all followed his excellent example. Middlesex had to bat for a little over an hour and a half, with the almost impossible task of scoring 191 runs. They made no attempt to get the runs, but played out time with ease. Y o r k sh ir e .

Each of these teams won both its match s in Bank Holiday week, and as, on paper, they were about equal, the meeting between them was of exceptional interest. On the first day’s play Gloucest* rshire had the best of the situation, for thanks t ) some excel­ lent bowling by Huggins and Dennett oa a good wicket, thev dismissed Kent for 230, and made 93 for the Joss of three wickets. A few rniuutes before time their position was even better, for it was only just at the last that the wickets fell. Humphreys played sound cricket for Kent for two hours and a- half, and Day, as usual, against Gloucester-hire, was seen at his best. Jessop joined Chanipain on Tuesday morning, and played a brilliant innings. He set to work at once, and in twenty-five minutes his score was 50. In forty minutes he made 77 out of 91, and then his meteoric display came to a close. Am >ng his hits were a 6 and ten 4’s. Champain, Brown and Thomas all played fine cricket, and Brownlee gave the tired bowlers a very bad time, for after taking seventy minutes to make his fifty, he hit with great determination, making 27 in the next ten minutes, and finally bringing his ecore to within three of a hundred. The result of all this fine batting was that Gloucestershire had a lead of 249 on the first innings. E. W. Dillon and Humphreys made 76 for Kent before stumps were drawn, and were still unconquered. Yesterday Kent remained at the wickets all day. At lunch time the score was 192 for two wickets, and for some time afterwards the rate of scoring was tediously slow. Day played a very fine innings.
