S U R R E Y v . S O M E R S E T . Played at the Oval on June 4, 5, and 6. Surrey won by an innings and 204 runs. A fter an interval o f fou r years these tw o counties a'rain opposed each other, m uch to the delight of all follow ers of the game. Surrey gave H obbs a rest and Goatly stood down, H olland and D ucat com ing into the side. Somerset m ade four changes from the side w hich played against W orcestershire, but reither W oods nor L . C. H . Palairet was able to appear. T i e storm w hich had burst w ith such fury over the country during the previous day had left the Oval unharm ed, and Surrey, w inning the toss, had first u«e o f a true wicket. S >mer.set got rid o f H ayw ard, M ar-hal, and D ucat for sm all scores, and Hayes, after batting 70 m in u t’s for 56, was fourth out with 119 on the board. Then ensued a prolific partner.-hip between Craw ford and H olland which was unbroken at the end o f the day. The amateur played a bright game from the start, reaching 5') out o f 76 in 50 m inutes and com pleting his 100 out <f 152 in 100 . H olland, who played sound cricket, but was quite overshadowed by his partner’s brilliancy, m ight have be?n stum ped when 53. and Crawford, w hen 189, was let off in the l«.ng-field by Bisgood off Braund. W hen the total had reached 403 for four w ickets in 285 m inutes a storm burst and the around was quickly covered with ha’lstones.rfndering further pi lyout of the question. C a vf«»rd had then scoied 196, m ade out of the last 287 <bt ined. The next day the w icket recovered well, but w is not true when play was resum ed ::t half-past eleven, and the last six w ickets went down in 70 m inutes for 104. Crawford and H olland remain< d together until their partnership had put on 308 in 210 m inutes, and theu b »th left at the same total. H olland was out in a curious manner, the ball rebounding jff the fo o t o f the bow ler (Lewis) into the hands o f m id-off ; he hit ten 4’s. Crawford m ade his 232 out o f 311 in 235 m inutes by free and at­ tractive cricket; he hit tw o six’s, twenty-eight 4’s, and eleven 3’s. and was twice m issed -w h -n lb9 and 2 j 3 (at m id -off). The innings realised 507 and lasted six hours, and Robson did w ell to take five w ickets for 74 . By lunch Somerset had lost five wickets for 42 and were eventually dismissed fo r 111 in an hour and th ee-quarters, Crawford and Smith bow ling un­ changed. L*wis, w ho cut well, played a flawless innings, and m ade his 57 out o f 84 in 70 m inutes. In the follow -on, Braund, H . S. Poyntz, and Bisgood were disposed of in an hour fo r 30. W hittle score! 44 in 85 m inutes, and Robson the same num ber in 45, w hilst Daniell and Cranfleld added 30 fo r the last w icket. B ut the innings closed fo r 192, leaving Surrey successful by an innings and 204 runs. In order that the gam e m ight be finished that night play lasted until ten m inutes to seven.

D E R B Y S H IR E . Played at Catford on June 4 and 5. K ent won by an innings and 18 runs. O n a w icket w hich appeared favourable to run- getting, D erbyshire w ere dism issed in under three hours for 133, and were always playing an up-hill gam e afterwards. W right played-on at 16, and M orton did the same after helping to add 25 for the second w icket. Needham scored 30 out o f 50 in 85 m inutes before being out to a fine left-handed catch at third man. Cadman played a m ost useful innings, m aking 50 ont of 86 in an hour and three-quarters by confident cr ic k e t; he h it four 4’s, and, w ith W arren, put on 38 for the eighth w ick ct in 30 m inutes. Kent, w ith only 5 scored, lost Dillon, bow led in trying to place to leg, but Hardinge and Seym our added 127 together in 95 m inutes, the latter, w ho was then bowled, hitting seven 4’s. H ardinge had given a hard chance to Warren at square-leg w hen he had m ade 3, but m ade no other m istake. W ith the total 138 for three w ickets a storm broke over the ground, w hich was quickly flooded, and w hich caused the K ent am ateurs to be im prisoned in the pavilion for an hour-and-a-half before they could reach the railway station. Play was possible on the n ex t day 25 m inutes after noon, but the w icket was very difficult. Hardinge added 11 and was then caught at cover after batting 130 m inutes ; he h it nine 4 ’s. W oolley rem ained in for half-an-hour, and was then caught w ithout having added to his over-night total. H um phreys and H uish added 26 together, and Kent left off w ith a lead of 87 on the innings. Warren took six of the last seven w ickets for 33 runs. A gainst B lythe and W oolley, Derbyshire collapsed for 69 in 70 m inutes w hen they w ent in the second tim e, and w ere beaten by an innings and 18 runs. Score and analysis:— D e r b y sh ir e .
