ESSEX v. NOTTS. AN INNINGS OF 274 BY A. O. JONES. Played at Leyton on Aug. 10, 11, and 12. Drawn. This was a somewhat remarkable match. Owing to heavy rain there was no play on the first day after lunch. Essex had then scored 138 for one wicket, Perrin being not out 63 and Carpenter not out 70. On Friday the two not outs were soon separated, their partnership having produced 149 runs in a couple of hours. McGahey and Carpenter made runs pretty quickly, and when the latter was out for 100 he had been batting for two hours and forty minutes. With the total at 318 for eight, the Essex captain declared at a quarter-past three, but any hopes which he may have had of dismissing Notts for a small score were dispelled by the brilliant batting of Jones, who, when stumps were drawn, was not out 122, with the total at 210 for three. John Gunn joined Jones when the third wicket fell at 90, and at the end of the day he was still undefeated, although he had only made 40 runs out of the 120 which had been put on during the unfinished partnership. On Saturday Jones played brilliant cricket, while Gunn made runs steadily, and it was not until the partnership had produced 361 runs in four hours and a-half that the two men were separated. Jones was then dismissed for a magnificent innings of 274, which had taken him five hours and forty minutes to compile, and included a 5 and thirty-seven 4’s. During the latter part of his innings he was making runs as quickly as possible, as the best thing which he could do for his side, and he may be said to have sacrificed his wicket. John Gunn was disposed of after being at the wickets for five hours and a-quarter for his 151. The Notts innings was declared closed with the total at 552 for nine wickets, and Essex, going in again at half-past four, made 102 for three wickets. It may be said that Buckenham bowled very well indeed, and was the only Essex man who gave the batsmen any troiible. E ssex . First innings. Second innings. F. L. Fane, b J.

Owing to rain on the day before this match play on the Thursday began half-an-hour late. Somerset, who had won the toss, found Wilson extremely difficult. Three wickets fell for 12, and four for 16, \ and the side was out for 70, Wilson taking eight wickets for 30 mns. There was plenty of life in the Worcestershire batting, and although four wickets fell for 51, R. E. Foster was in such brilliant form that he scored 93 out of 126 in an hour and ten minutes. Most of the other men made useful scores, and when the innings came to an end Worcester­ shire had a lead of 144. Somerset, in their second innings lost two wickets for 19, both falling to Wilson, whose record for the day was ten wickets for 41 mns. On Friday Hardy made 82 in two hours, the highest score of his career in first-class cricket, and he and Braund put up 125 for the fourth wicket. Johnson hit with great power, and while he was in partnership with Braund 71 runs were made in half-an-hour. Another useful partner- nership, producing 105 in three-quarters of an hour, ensued between Johnson and Robson, and in the end the Somersetshire innings came to 332 runs. Wilson again bowled with success, but was at times punished severely. Worcestershire had to make 189 to win, and although they began their innings only about two hours before the usual time for drawing stumps, there was no necessity to prolong the match to the third day. H. K. Foster and Bowley were both out when the total was 26, but “ R. E.” and “ W. L.” then came together, and played such fine cricket that the score was taken to 162 before they were separated. R. E. Foster made the winning hit five minutes before time, bringing his own scOre to 99, after a stay at the wickets of an hour and a quarter. 14 J. P. Fellows, not out 18 R. E.
