MIDDLESEX. Played at the Oval on August 8 , 9, and 10. Drawn. Except that Trott was away on account of a bruised thumb, and that Rushby appeared instead of Smith, both sides were at full strength for this match. Middlesex won the toss and commenced splendidly, Warner and Douglas scoring 232 together for the first wicket in two hours and a-half. Warner’s batting was full of vigour and delightful in its freedom, and of the 175 runs made before lunch he claimed 115. He reached 50 out of 65 in forty minutes, 101 out of 153in ahundred, and, in all, 149 out of 232 in a hundred and fifty, being then caught at mid-on for a faultless display. He drove with much power and played well to the on, and hit twenty-one 4’s, ten 3’s, eight 2’s, and nineteen singles. Douglas was out a quarter of an hour later for a capital 79, which contained fourteen 4’s. After the pair were separated a complete collapse occurred, the last nine wickets going down in one hundred minutes for 98. Marshal, the sixth bowler tried, was chiefly responsible for the break-down, his splendid length and work from both ways being too much for the majority of the batsmen. He took five wickets for 59 runs in an innings of 330. It is worthy of remark that Bosanquet, who scored 16, made his runs off four balls from an over from Knox. In a poor light at the end of the day Surrey lost Hayward and Hobbs for 38. On Friday Hayes played a delightful innings, making 50 out of 88 in eighty minutes, 100 out of 192 in a hundred and thirty-five, 150 in three hours, and, altogether, 262 in a trifle over four hours. He hit thirty 4’s, the majority of them very powerful off-drives, and gave only one chance, being missed in the long-field by Douglas when 183. With Holland he added 68 in sixty-five minutes, with Crawford, who was missed at square-leg by Page off Wells when 12 but survived to hit fifteen 4’s, 183 in a hundred and ten minutes, and with Lord Dalmeny 84 in twenty-seven minutes. The fourth and fifth wickets thus produced 267 runs in a hundred and thirty-seven minutes. Lord Dalmeny, who made his 50 out of 84 in twenty-seven minutes, hit nine 4’s, but when 14 was missed by Bosanquet in the slips from a skier off Mignon. Marshal played a useful game and Knox hit hard at the close, the innings realising 474 in three hundred and ten minutes. In a poor light at the end of the day Middlesex lost Warner at 12, Douglas at 27, and Tarrant at 54, and when stumps were drawn had three wickets down for 76. On the third day Rushby, owing to a strained leg, was unable to play. Bosanquet and Payne, the over-night not-outs, made a good stand, and put on 94 together for the fourth wicket. Payne scored 66 out of 94 in an hour by brilliant cricket, hit a five and twelve 4’s, and making some capital off- drives. Bosanquet, who played a steadier game, made 78 in a hundred and forty minutes and hit thirteen 4’s. Wells scored 44 of the 72 added with Page for the seventh wicket in fifty-five minutes, and, with the majority of the players scoring well, Surrey were left a hundrei and forty minutes in which to get 187 to win. After Napier had sent down an over, rain descended and stopped the game for forty-five minutes, when it seemed probable that a good finish would be seen. When play was resumed Hayward and Hobbs fell for 16, and, although Hayes shortly afterwards fell to a brilliant left-handed catch, and Lord Dalmeny was also dismissed, there was never any chancc of the game ending except in a draw.

Notts, took the field severely handicapped, Hallam, whose left hand had been severely bruised by a ball from Knox in the Oval match, playing in bandages. Owing to rain the start was delayed half-an-hour. and then the home side quickly lost Board and Godscll. Winstone, however, remained with Langdon whilst 84 were added for the third wicket in fifty minutes, and it was not until the last-named had hit eleven 4’sand batted on3 hundred minutes that he was caught for 75 : he drove finely, but when he had made 22 was missed by Hallam off his own bowling. In response to a total of 198, Notts lost six wickets before stumps were drawn for 112, the best form being shown by the Gunns, who added 45 together. On Friday morning, so well did Dennett and Jessop bowl, that Gloucestershiie were able to obtain a lead of 47 on the innings. The home side increased their lead strongly when Lang­ don and Board made as many as 55 for the fir&t wicket. The former was again seen to advantage, scoring 69 out of 102 in sixty-five minutes, and mak­ ing several fine off-drives : he was, however, missed- when 64. Jessop was out first ball, but Barnett played excellently and carried ont his bat for 50 when the innings closed for 1S3, leaving the visitois 231 to win—no easy task considering that the highest of the three innings played was 198. Ilards taff and John Gunn made 52 for the first wicket in half-an- hour,but three men were out for76. Payton,however, who was missed when 16 and 30, remained unde­ feated with 64 to his credit at the end of the day, when four wickets were down for 166. Jones left at 202, and with only three required Branston, Turner, and Oates were all sent back. With Hallam in, how­ ever, the runs were made, Notts winning an excit­ ing game by a couple of wickets. Payton, who carried out his bat for 91, made several fine strokes all round the wicket. Score and analysis :— G loucestersh 1RE. First innings. Board, b Hallam................ 3 R. T.
