The bowlers held the upper hand in this match on Monday, and in the course of the day 30 wickets fell for 303 mns. Thompson met with very great success with the ball for Northamptonshire, taking 13 wickets for 105 runs, while Jayes and O’Dell bowled finely for Leicestershire. The only out­ standing innings of the day was the 31 of II. Haw­ kins for Northamptonshire. At the end of the day Leicestershire had made a total of 185 in two innings, and Northamptonshire, with 118 in their first innings had only to make 68 to win on Tuesday. More rain fell in the night, and on a very difficult wicket Northampton failed to make the runs next morning, although, with four wickets in hand, they only required ten runs to win.

It was more than d^mbtful whether there would be any cricket at the Oval, for after heavy rain in the night there were several showers when daylight came ; yet nearly ten thousand people, showing an entire disregard for the feelings of the pessimists who have persistently preached the doctrine that modern county cricket is unattractive, saw the commencement of the game, and, as the weather cleared np a little, some six thousand more put in an appearance on the ground after lunch. There was a most interesting clay’s cricket. Jones won the toss for Notts, but he cannot have felt very pleased at doing so, for it was very difficult to say whether there was any advantage in going in lirst. But it would have been unwise to run the risk of putting Surrey in, and accordingly Notts went to the wicket. J. N. Crawford was making his reappearance in the Surrey team, but Smith was again absent. From the moment that the game began it was seen that runs would be difficult to obtain, and in the course of forty minutes Jones, Iremonger, (who was finely caught at point with one hand by Hayward), and G. Gunn were all out, and only 24 runs had been made. After an hour’s play 34 went up with four wickets down. Day and J. Gunn then made a valuable stand, which lasted for three quarters of an hour and produced 47 runs. At lunch time the total was 86 for five wickets, four of which had been taken by Lees. After lunch Lees was again in great form and the innings soon came to an end for 112. John Gunn carried his bat for 34 after batting for two hours and a quarter. The 112 made by Notts took two hours and three quarters to compile. Crawford did not meet with success, although it was difficult to get him away; on the other hand Lees was in brilliant form. Hayward and Hobbs began well for Surrey and after they had been together for a quarter of an hour a shower made the wicket somewhat easier for a time. They took the score to 41 before they were parted. Then mishaps occurred and four more men were out for an additional 19 runs. With the total at 86 the sixth wicket fell, and Surrey had none the best of the game. Happily for Surrey Lord Dalmeny was in brilliant form, and hitting with great power he scored his lirst 50 out of 61 in twenty-five minutes only, and when he was dismissed for 58 out of 71 he had been batting for thirty-five minutes. His part­ nership with Crawford produced 63 runs in half-an- hour. It is not surprising that Lord Dalmeny’s innings roused the crowd to enthusiasm, for it was perhaps the finest exhibition of daring cricketseen at the Oval this year. When stumps were drawn the total was 167 for 8 wickets, so that Surrey were 55 runs on. On Tuesday the remaining two wickets fell for seven runs’,'and Notts had to go in again against a balance of 62. Lees promptly dismissed Iremonger for a duck’s egg, and although the two (Junnsmade a very useful stand, four wickets were down before the runs were knocked off. From this time Surrey were always winning. Lees was again in fine form with Iho ball, and although Crawford, could not get his length, Knox,who replaced him, was very effective. Surrey only had to make 76 to av in, a task which was accomplished by twenty minutes to five. N otts . First innings. Second innings. A. O.

SOMERSET. Played at Taunton on August 7, 8 and 9. Abandoned. Frequently interrupted by showers on Bank Holiday, play at Taunton ended at half-past three, and only lasted for an hour and ten minutes. In that time Somerset put up 56 for the loss of three wickets, Braund being not out 22 and Lewis not out 16. On Tuesday the two not outs made a prolonged stand, and afterwards Lee and Newton made very useful scores. Both Braund and Lewis scored slowly, the former taking t.wo hours and a quarter to reach his fifty, and the latter about two hours. Against the Somersetshire total of 229 Middlesex had made 59 for one wicket when rain fell and put an end to play for the day. Yesterday the wicket was very difficult. Middlesex could do very little against the bowling of Bailey, and Somersetshire, going in again, hit up 139 in an hour and ten minutes, and then declared. Middlesex began the fourth innings of the match with about two hours before them. Again they failed to make anything of Bailey, and had lost four wickets for 22 when rain came to their aid.
