The Warwickshire team was the one which drew with Surrey, whilst Somerset made only one change, Lionel Palairet taking the place of Deane. Santall and Field shared the attack when the home side commenced batting, and off the latter’s first delivery Braund was almost caught at cover-point. Play ruled slow for some time, and at 29 Hargreave went on for Santall. At 36 the change proved successful, Banks being bowled, and a run later Lewis was caught at cover-point. Just after Whittle arrived, Braund, when 27, was missed by Glover at mid-off, and 50 went up with two wickets down as the result of 75 minutes’ play. Braund reached his half-century after batting 110 minutes, and at lunch the total had been taken to 95 without further loss. The hundred went up in a couple of hours, but 13 later, when the third wicket had added 76 in 70 minutes, Whittle was caught at mid-off for a very useful but uneven innings of 37. With Palairet in Braund, when 56, offered a hard chance of caught and bowled to Santall. The famous professional, however, made only 11 more ; he was sixth out, at 159, for 67 made in 170 minutes — a valuable but lucky innings. The eighth wicket fell at 183, but Cranfield made 25, and, when the innings closed for 229, made in 260 minutes, Daniell was left to carry out his bat for a very steady 46, which took him 95 minutes to make. When Warwick­ shire went in at the end of the day rain permitted only one ball to be delivered, the stumps then being drawn with the scqre 0 for no wicket. On Tuesday morning the visiting batsmen collapsed in a remark­ able manner, the first three wickets going down at 13 and the next two at 14. Lilley and Glover sent 50 up in 65 minutes without further loss, but the latter was dismissed at 56 and Stephens at 78, at which total Lilley also was sent back for a praiseworthy innings of 38 made out of 64 in 50 minutes. Cran­ field took four wickets for 46 runs and the innings closed for 120, leaving the home side with the very useful lead of 109. Braund again played a most useful innings when Somerset went in the second time, scoring 58 out of 151 in two hours and a half by faultless cricket. He was the only one who played the bowling with much confidence, though Lewis made 24 and Robson 19. Warwickshire, set 261 to win, lost three wickets for 51 by the end of the day, Charlesworth, Baker and Quaife being all disposed of. Yesterday Glover was run out at 66, and three later Lilley was bowled by Cranfield, who had opened the bowling with Lewis. Street did little, but Kinneir reached 50 after batting 150 minutes. Warwickshire never appeared likely to pull through, and the match ended quietly in a win for Somerset by 96 runs. Kinneir, who gave only one chance (early in his innings), carried out his bat after a stay of three hours. Score and analysis:— S omerset . First innings. Second innings.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Cambridge on May 25, 26 and 27. Lancashire won by 171 runs. The University made as many as five changes from the side which fared so badly in the hands of York­ shire, whilst Heap took the place of Dean in the Lancashire team. The County won the toss, but had made only 19 runs against Lyttelton and Reunert ere Hartley was caught at point. Then the University’s success stopped for some time, for Tyldesley and Hornby played a free game and treated all the various bowling changes lightly. When 43 had been made in half-&n-hour the game was stopped by rain, and it was not until after lun^h—at a quarter-past tw o—that play could te resumed. Three figures went up with only one wicket down ia 55 minutes, Tyldesley reaching 50 in 40 minutes and Hornby doing the same in 70. When the s and for the second wicket had put on 137 runs in an hour, Hornby was bowled for 59, made out of 156 in 80 minutes, he drove well and hit six 4’s. Heap was caught at mid-off at 184, and at 210 Tyldesley’s fine innings was brought to a close. The latter scored 105 out 191 in 100 minutes by flawless w icket; he hit freely all round the wicket, excelling in off-drives and leg-glides, and hit thirteen 4’s. Poidevin, who hit five 4’s in his 27, helpfd to add 44 for the fifth wicket in half-an-hour and was then caught at slip, but Stanning was caught at short-leg off the first ball he received. Sharp hit nine 4’s, and made his 69 by excellent cricket, theugh twice missed. The total of 334 took only 220 minutes to make, but the bowling was not very formidable. The University opened their batting with Baily and Wright, but the former was bowled by Heap with only 11 scored and the latter by Brearley two runs lat( r. An appeal then paade against the light was upheld, and t ie play ceased with the home side having two wickets down for 13. On the second morning Heap and Brearley quickly met with success, Young being caught at the wicket with only a dozen added, and Falcon and Collins bowled at 51, at which total half the side were out. Goodwin rendered Mugliston useful assistance, and appeared to be well set when he was unfortunately run out. Reunert failed to reaeh double figures, but M cLeod helped to put on 44 for the eighth wicket in 40 minutes. Mugliston was last out for 109. made out of 194 in 160 minutes. He made strokes all round the wicket, hit a 5 and eleven 4’s,but was twice m issed- when 7 and again when 53. Lancashire again scored freely when they went in the second time, Tyldesley especially being seen to advantage in scoring 68. included in which were seven 4’s ; he hit all round during the hour and a- quarter he was in. Poidevin and Sharp put on 62 for tne third wicket, and when play ceased Lancashire, with five wickets in hand, were 363 runs on. Yester­ day the innings was declared closed first thing and Cambridge faced their heavy task with a full day betore them. W ith only 9 scored Baily was bowled, but Mugliston played confidently and reached 50 in 50 minutes. W ith Young he put on 81j for the second wicket in 70 minutes, his share of the number being 56, in which were eleven 4’s. No one else offered much resistance, and the County won by 171 runs.

He was not hampered by a tendency to hit to any one quarter of the field, but, deal­ ing with each ball on its merits, he utilised the whole boundary as the bowlers made it con­ venient. It was never any use to alter the posi­ tions of the fielders for him .” —The Morning Post,
