With Crawford, Knox, and Lees away, the Surrey bowling was naturally not so strong as it might have been, but, taking everything into considera­ tion, it probably proved as effective as was antici­ pated. After Hobbs had been caught at point in the third over, Hayward and Hayes put on 82 in an hour and a-half, the former then being caught at the wicket for a flawless 54, made out of 91 in one hundred minutes : he hit a five and five 4’s. Hayes and Holland afterwards added 48 together in half- an-hour, and the latter and Marshal 40 in forty-five minutes. Hayes, who hit seven 4’s, and was missed at point when 61, scored his 66 out of 130 in two hours, whilst Holland made 34 out of 88 in eighty minutes. Lord Dalmeny played a bright innings, and put on 49 with Goatly in twenty-five minutes, and 43 with Strudwick in twenty-three. The most attractive cricket of the innings, however, was seen after the fall of the ninth wicket at 297, Smith actually claiming 59 of the 70 added with Rushby in twenty minutes ; and to such an extent did he monopolise the run-getting that at one period he obtained 41 whilst his vis-a-vis made a single. He hit a 5 and ten 4’s, hitting very hard, and committ­ ing no error. The last over of the innings was a curious one, the first five balls producing 16, all run, and the last obtaining a wicket. The first five wickets produced 182 runs in one hundred and eighty-five minutes, and the last five 185 in one hundred. At the end of the day Warwickshire lost Weldrick and Charlesworth against Hitch with only 7 scored. On the Friday Kinneir and Quaife, by slow cricket, put on 63 in eighty-five minutes, and the latter and Baker 70 in eighty. Quaife, who hit eight 4’s, was in one hundred and sixty minutes for 58, and Baker (two 4’s) 125 for fifty-five. The last four wickets went down for 19 in twenty-five minutes; Hobbs made a splendid catch whilst running from long-on. Although the arrears amounted to 158, Surrey did not call upon the visitors to follow-on. When the home side went in the second time, Fishwick kept wicket instead of Lilley, who preferred to rest in view of the Test Match on the Monday. Hayward and Hobbs put up 82 for the first wicket in fifty-five minutes, and the latter and Hayes 47 for the second. At the end of the day Hobbs and Lord Dalmeny added 72 without being separated ; the former, who had reached 100 in one hundred and five minutes, carrying out his bat for 121 : he was missed at long-off when 108. When stumps were drawn Surrey, with eight wickets to fall, were 359 runs on. On the following morning Hobbs and Dalmeny remained together until they had added 122 for the third wicket in seventy minutes, of which number the latter, hitting five 4’s, contributed a faultless 61. Hobbs made some capital leg-hits, and, when he had scored 150 out of 283 in one hundred and sixty-five minutes, the innings was declared closed; he hit a 5’and twenty-one 4’s. Warwickshire were left five hours and a-quarter in which to make 442. With no likelihood of the runs being obtained, the batsmen set themselves to the task of playing out time. Fishwick and Kinneir made 50 together in fifty minutes, and in all scored 117 for the first wicket in 115 minutes before the latter was bowled. Fishwick hit nine 4’s, and completed his 50 out of 75 in an hour and a-quarter, but when 38 was caught at point off a no-ball delivered by Rushby. Kinneir remained until 145, when, having batted one hundred and fifty-five minutes for 56. and hit five 4’s, he also fell to Hobbs. When 165 had been made for the loss of a couple of wickets, play was adjourned, and, when rain began to fall about half-an-hour later, stumps were drawn. Score and analysis :— S urrey .

Worcestersire won by an innings and 109 runs. The start made by the home side in this match was far indeed from foreshadowing their after- success, for Bowley was lbw in the first over, H. K. Foster bowled with only a single scored, and W. L. run out at 20. Fortunately, R. E. Foster was at his best, and played a very free and attractive game from the moment he went in. He reached his 50 in an hour, and when the hundred went up in seventy-five minutes after he went in claimed sixty- five of the number. He completed his hundred out of 14S in one hundred minutes, and, in all, scored 144 out of 232 in one hundred and fifty-five minutes, giving no chance, and hitting a five and nineteen 4’s. After reaching three figures he became somewhat reckless, but made no mistake. With Arnold he added 58 for the fourth wicket in half an hour, and with Burns 142 for the fifth in eighty-five minutes. When rain caused play to cease for the day the total was 312 for eight wickets, Burrows, who was missed when 22, carrying out his bat for 40, made in twenty minutes. By the following morning the wicket had quite recovered from the downpour, and Burrows continued to lash the bowling. He completed his 50 in twenty-six minutes, and in making 112 out of 181 in an hour and a quarter, hit nineteen 4’s, and credited himself with his first three figure score in a great match. His stand with Cuffe for the ninth wicket realised as many as 181. Cuffe carried out his bat for a faultless 81, which contained a dozen 4’s, aud took two hours to compile. The innings closed for 447, made in two hundred and eighty-five minutes. Gloucestershire collapsed badly when going in against the large total. Wrathall was bowied at 14, Barnett stumped at 24, Board caught at 27, and Spry bowled at 29. Fortunately Jessop was in form, aud, quickly obtaining the measure of the bowling, completed his 50 in thirty-five minutes; before being bowled by a lob—“ a beastly lob, con­ found it !”—he had made 62 out of 89 in fifty-five minutes. He hit eight 4’s, and, as usual, hit east and west. Luce, formerly of the Wiltshire Eleven, batted seventy minutes for 50, and although both Mills and Parker reached double figures, Gloucester­ shire had to follow-on 265 in arrears. In their second innings they again fared badly, and by the end of the day had lost Wrathall, Barnett, and Jessop for 67. On the last morning Board played a useful innings, and Langdon made a painstaking 34, but the side never appeared likely to escape the innings defeat, and were all disposed of for 156.
