J une 22, 1905. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 221 NORTHAMPTONSHIRE v. DERBY­ SHIRE. Played at Northampton on June 19, 20 & 21. Northamptonshire won by 23 runs. On the first day’s play in this match, Derbyshire, after a poor commencement of their innings, had the best of the game, for against a total of 160 they scored 138 for three wickets. Pool played very care­ ful cricket for an hour and three quarters, and was badly run out when he was within two runs of his fifty. The most interesting feature of the Derby­ shire innings was theunfinished partnership between Sparrow and Lawton, for both men hit exceedingly well. Sparrow was not out 62 and I,awton not out 30. The advantage which Derbyshire had gained was lost through heavy rain, which made the wicket difficult when play was resumed at a quarter to three. The remaining seven wickets fell quickly, and in­ stead of having a long lead, as seemed probable, Derbyshire were only 17runs to the good. In their second innings Northamptonshire made 105 for six wickets before the end of the day, thus being 88 runs on. They slowly made 35 more runs yester­ day, and set Derbyshire the task of making 124. It was an exciting struggle all through the Derby­ shire innings, but the wicket helped the bowlers considerably, and Derbyshire failed to make the runs. N orthamptonshire . First innings.

Somerset had to place one of their very weakest teams in the field in this match and suffered accordingly. They had practically no change bowlers, and after Braund and Cranlield had been fairly mastered, the Lancashire men had an oppor­ tunity of which they fully availed themselves, scoring 401 runs in three hours and three-quarters. R. H. Spooner and H. G. Garnett were both in fine form, but the honours of the day fell to Tyldesley and L. O. S. Poidevin, the former making 101 in an hour and three-quarters, and the latter 122 in two hours and a-quarter; the partnership between the two men produced 125 runs. Towards the end of the day, J. D. Harcombe," a leg-break bowler, was tried with such happy results that he promptly took three wickets, although he was hit about after­ wards. Somerset scored 55 for the loss of two wickets, Poyntz being not out 22. Owing to rain the game was not resumed on Tuesday until a quarter-past twelve, and after a hundred runs had been made for the loss of seven wickets, rain again fell and luncli was taken at half-past one. The game was resumed at half-past four, and Somerset did so badly that when stumps were drawn they had lost four wickets for 55, and still required 229 runs to save the innings defeat. Yesterday Woods and Martyn made a brilliant effort, their partnership producing 137 runs in two hours and a-half, but after lunch six wickets fell for 37 runs. L ancashire .

After the heavy rains, the pitch was very slow at Lord’s on Monday, and in the course of the day twenty-one wickets fell for 256 runs. Neither side was quite at full strength, Surrey being without Lord Dalmeny and N. A. Knox, wliile Bosanquet, G. W. Beldam and J. H. Hunt were absentfrom the Middle­ sex side, who, however, had the advantage of the services of J. Douglas. In the absence of Lord Dalmeny, Hayward acted as the Surrey captain. He must have had a difficult question to decide when he woii the toss, but he chose first innings. The Middle­ sex captain made a change in the bowling before a run had been scored, and two more changes before the first wicket fell at 27, after nearly an hour’s batting during which Hobbs and Hayward were very cautiously feeling their way. Three more wickets fell quickly, and with four men out for 42 Surrey were doing very badly. But Hayes was playing a great game, picking out the right ball to hit, and with Davis for once played steady and cautious cricket, the fifth wicket doubled the score. Hayes left with the total at 109 for nine, after playing fine cricket for an hour and a-half, but the innings was by no means over, for Strudwick and Smith added 34 for the last wicket, Smith making some remark­ ably good strokes in his 31. Against the bowling of Lees and Smith, Middlesex fared badly, the only man on the side who showed really good cricket being Tarrant, the Australian importation. He made some splendid hits during his stay at the wickets of three quarters of an hour, one of his drives landing the ball on the balcony of the hotel. Lees bowled all through the innings with great accuracy. Surrey had to bat again for a few minutes, and made four runs for the loss of Strudwick, so that they began the second day with a lead of thirty-eight runs. On Tuesday, Hobbs played very pretty cricket, but he was out when he had scored 17 out of 36, just before rain drove the players to the pavilion for an hour and a-half. At lunch time the score was 52 for two wickets; Hayward not out 16 and Hayes not out 7. Immediately afterwards Hayward, who had batted for an hour, was caught for 20, and no one else on the side, except Hayes and Davis, could make any­ thing of the bowling on a slow wicket. But Hayes for the seeond time in the match was seen to great advantage, and Davis made some fine drives,scoring 53 at the rate of a run a minute. His innings was delightful to watch, and while he was in with Goatly, who was almost a sleeping partner, 65 runs were made in three-quarters or an hour. When the innings came to an end, Middiesex had what seemed the hard task of making 230 to win, but so finely did Warner and Douglas play that before stumps were drawn 65 of these runs had been hit off without loss. Warner was not out 40, and Douglas not out 22. Yesterday these two men set to work with such determination that, although runs never came quickly, they had made victory almost certain for their side when Warner was bowled with the total at 133, which had been put together in two hours. There seemed more than a possibility that rain might save Surrey, for when fifty runs were still required the clouds were gathering quickly. But no storm came and with only two wickets down Middlesex were victorious at a few minutes past two. Douglas carried his bat for 116, a fine innings, which took him about four hours to compile.

Played at the Crystal Palace on June 19, 20 and 21. Cambridge won by nine wickets. Dr. Grace had not been able to get together a strong eleven to oppose the University in this match on account of the large number of County matches in progress. On the first day the University shewed
