Wright, who scored 195 in four hours and a-half, showing a complete mastery over the bowling, and hitting twenty-one 4’s, was the chief feature of the first day s play in this match. But he wasmissed at the wicket before he had scored. Wright’s innings was all the more remark­ able because only one other man on the side made over 40,although E. M. Ashcroft played a great game. Smith, the Northamptonshire wicket-keeper, caught four men and did not allow a single bye throughout the long innings of Derbyshire, who were at the wickets all the first day for 375. On Friday North­ amptonshire surprised everybody by getting out for 52 against the bowling of Bestwick and Warren, who each took five wickets for 23. The batsmen, one and all, seemed to be beaten by the pace of the wicket. In the follow-on Northamptonshire did very much better, thanks chiefly to a fine stand for the first wicket of 115 in an hour. But althoiigh Thompson and Pool did so well they were poorly backed up, and an innings’ defeat was the result. D erbyshire . L. G.

M. R. W. 1 7 0 0 2 0 LANCASHIRE v. MIDDLESEX. A CLOSE FINISH. Played at Lord’s on July 20, 21, and 22. Drawn. Except that Hallows was unable to play for Lam- cashire and J. Douglas for Middlesex, both sides placed their strongest teams in the field for this match. On the first day’s play Middlesex had somewhat the best of the game, for they made 315 runs, aud then dismissed Tyldesley and Heap for six runs between them, two Lancashire wickets being down for 50 when stumps were drawn. During the day the fielding was greatly at fault, and Page, who made the highest score for Middlesex, and Poidevin, who was not out 21 for Lancashire, were missed several times. Apparently the wicket was too fast for the batsmen at first, for Middlesex lost four wickets for 33 runs. But Page and Stog­ don then came together, and thanks partly to good fortune and partly to good and resolute play, com­ pletely changed the fortunes of the game. Page made his first 50 out of 77 in an hour and a quarter, but later Stogdon made runs very quicklv. The partnership between the two men realised i96 runs in two hours, the bowling being quite mastered for the last hour. Stogdon nit seventeen 4’s and ~ fifteen 4’s and a 5; both men made many brilliant drives. As soon as the partnership was broken, the bowlers once more began to assert themselves, and although E. A. Beldam played a most useful innings 6f 40, the last five wickets fell for 86 runs. Ker­ mode and Brearley both bowled very well indeed on the whole. Lancashire had to bat for an hour. They began badly by losing Heap at 12 and Tyl­ desley at 14, and might have met with more disasters if the Middlesex fielding had been good. But Poidevin was missed three times, and survived to carry his bat for 21, while Spooner made 23. On the next day Spooner and Poidevin increased the total to 115 before the latter was bowled by Bosan­ quet. The partnership produced 101 runs in an hour and three-quarters. Spooner, who had some luck in the morning, was out when five more runs had been made, his innings having lasted for two hours and a quarter. From this time the bowlers began to gain the upper hand, and, although Bosanquet soon lost his length, Trott was in splen­ did form. Maclaren made a useful 29, and when wickets began to fall fast Garnett hit splendidly. But in trying to give him as much of the bowling as possible two men were run out. Trott had an ex­ cellent analysis, and Tarrant bowled well without much luck. With a lead of 85 Middlesex would have done badly in iheir second innings if it had not been for the excellent batting of Warner, who, when most of his companions could do nothing with Brearley, played one of the best games of his career. He received valuable help from G. W. Beldam, and when four wickets were down for 95 Stogdon gave him excellent assistance. Warner made his first fifty out of a total of 83 in an hour and ten minutes, and his hundred in two hours and three-quarters. He was still undefeated with 146 to his credit when stumps were drawn. He met the ball with the full force of the bat, and made many fine drives off Brearley, who bowled splendidly and without a rest from a quarter to three until nearly six o’clock. At the end of the day the Middlesex score was 211 for five wickets, all of which fell to Brearley. E. A. Beldam was not out 10—a very useful defensive innings. On Saturday morning Warner still played fine cricket, and increased his score to 166, his entire innings having lasted for four hours; his hits included eighteen 4%. With the total at 291 for eight wickets Warner declared, leaving Lancashire to make 377 in four hours and a half. For some time it looked as if Lancashire would meet with a severe defeat, for at lunch time three men were out for 41. But Sharp and Maclaren played a great game, and things began to look much better. But despite their efforts six wickets were down for 187, and when eight had fallen three quarters x>f an hour remained for play. At this critical stage of the game, when the odds were greatly in favour of Middlesex, Findlay and Kermode were both missed, and Lancashire managed to stave off defeat. M iddlesex . First innings.
