J uly 5, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 251 MIDDLESEX v. ESSEX. Played at Lord’s on July 2, 3, and 4. Drawn. Except tliat Reece played instead of Gillingham the Essex team was the same as played against Yorkshire, but Middlesex were much stronger than when playing at Brighton. On the opening day the home side put all probable chance of a victory for themselves out of the question by a series of mistakes in the field, for Carpenter, who cut and off-drove in capital style, and hit twenty 4’s, might have been run out when he had made 16, and caught when his score was 25, 35, 114 and 163. Altogether, he made 177 out of 380 in two hundred and ninety-five minutes. With Fane he scored 53 for the first wicket in sixty-five minutes, and with Perrin added 42 for the second, with McGabey 206 for the third in one hundred and fifty-five minutes, with Turner 20 for the fourth, and with Reeves 59 for the fifth. McGahey, who scored 92, hit eight 4’s, but never seemed quite at his ease. Late in the afternoon, Reeves made a few good hits, and off an over from Bosanquet scored 15. When stumps were drawn Essex had made 404 for seven wickets. On the following day the innings, after lasting six hours and a-quarter, closed for 471. Buckenham and Douglas added 51 together, and the latter and Mead 21. Tarrant and Warner made a fine start for the home side, the first wicket not falling until the score had reached 107. The former and Beldam after­ wards added 89 together for the second, and Bosan­ quet and Tarrant 67 for the third. The last named made 124 out of 263 in one hundred and eighty-five minutes; he gave but one chance, when 34, and hit fifteen 4’s. He made several fine cuts and off-drives, and played somewhat more freely than he usually does. Bosanquet hit all round the wicket in delightful fashion, scoring his 75 in eighty minutes, and obtaining eleven 4’s. At the end of the day Middlesex, with three wickets in hand, were only 69 runs behind. On Wednesday the Middlesex score was taken to 460, Hearne, who scored 32 of the 48 added in 35 minutes with Litteljohn for the ninth wicket, bringing off some fine hits. Reeves took six wickets for 120—a good performance in an innings of 460. With a lead of 11, Essex scored 226 for four wickets when they went in the second time and then declared. Fane, who put up 73 for the first wicket with Carpenter, and added 111 for the second with Perrin, batted two hours and a-quarter for his Stylish 87. The home side were set 237 to get in just under two hours, and quickly lost Warner. Bosan­ quet, however, again played well, and, when time arrived, and the match was left drawn, Middlesex had made 119 for three wickets. Score and analy­ sis:— E ssex . First innings. Second innings.

Warwickshire w o d by an innings and 25 runs. For the seventh time in succession Warwickshire lost the toss, but, before the end of the day, had gained a great advantage. After Vine had been sent back with only 2 scored, Smith and Killick, who is batting very well just now, put on 117 for the second wicket in sixty-five minutes, before the latter was sent back by a fine catch. Smith, who made many fine drives and hit two 6’s and four 4’s, reached 50 out of 88 in fifty, minutes, and, altogether, scored 61 out of 121 in eighty minutes. At lunch the score was 133 for three wickets, but after the interval the other seven wickets fell for 60 in an hour, the innings closing for 193.made on a perfect wicket in one hundred-and-sixty minutes. Moorhouse and Quaife were responsible for the collapse, both bowling really admirably. Warwickshire opened their innings in great style, Devey and Kinneir scoring 124 for the first wicket in an hour and three quarters. Devey, who might have been caught when 32, made 58 of the number. At the end of the day the home side had scored 160 for the loss of only one wicket, being then 33 behind with nine wickets in hand. On the following morning Kinneir and Charlesworth remained together until the second wicket had added 109. Kinneir, who batted three hours and twenty minutes for 100, hit five 4’s and made no mistake. Fishwick and Quaife put on 112 for the fourth wicket in an hour, and, the la tter batsmen hitting out and making usefulscores, the innings was declared closed at 501 for nine wickets. Sussex did only moderately upon going in the second time, and when stumps were drawn, still required 234 to save the innings defeat, with Smith, Killick, and the elder Relf disposed of. Yesterday Dwyer and Vine were quickly diamssed, and, although Cox and Simms, who scored so well against Oxford University recently, made 70 and 62 respectively, the innings defeat could not be avoided.

KENT. Played at Worcester on July 2, 3 and 4. KENT W IN THE TOSS. Drawn. After losing the toss seventeen times in succession Kent proved successful in the spin on Monday last, and marked their appreciation of the event by remaining in the whole day and scoring 359 for the loss of only three wickets. The outstanding feature of the day’s play was the batting of Hearne, who, going in first, carried out his bat for 132 at the end of the afternoon, after being in two hundred and eighty-five minutes. He showed very strong defence, but was missed when he had made 5 by H. K. Foster in the slips. With Humphreys, who hit eight 4’s, he put up 131 for the first wicket in one hundred and live minutes, and with Seymour added 77 for the second in an hour. His best part­ ner, however, was Hutchings, who helped him add 140 for the third wicket in an hour and a-half. The old Tonbridge boy, as usual, drove with tremendous pow er- he broke two bats—and hit a dozen 4’s. On Tuesday Woolley was soon sent back, but Hearne remained until 416, when he was run out for 154, made in three hundred and twenty-five minutes. He hit fifteen 4’s. Kent’s outstanding seven wickets added 217 in one hundred and fifteen minutes, the scoring being very brisk throughout. Day and Bumup added 60 for the sixth wicket in half-an- hour, and the former and Marsham 67 for the seventh in thirty-five minutes. The home side fared badly against Fielder, who captured the first four wickets for 79. Arnold and Cuffe then came together and put on 85 for the fifth wicket in just under an hour and a-half. The former played a most useful game and showed superb defence. When stumps were drawn he had made 73 and was still not out, the Worcestershire total being 218 for five. On Wednesday Arnold and Burns remained together until the sixth wicket had realised 132, when Burns, who, as usual, hit well, was sent back. Arnold batted in all for five hours, and hit seven 4’s, plaving a most valuable game for his side. When he had made 76 he was missed at point by Fielder, who shortly afterwards left the field through indis­ position. The home side follovved-on 215 behind and, although they lost five wickets rather quickly,* Cuffe and Burns, soon made a drawn game assured. Score and analysis:— K ent . A.
