The visitors showed their appreciation of the fine wicket provided for them by making 345 runs in five hours and a-quarter on Monday for the loss of only four wickets. With a little enterprise the score might have been consider­ ably larger, for little attempt was made to obtain runs quickly off the tired bowling at the end of the day. Yine, after making 13 in 40 minutes, was out at 37, whilst F ry, having made 55 out of 91 in an hour and a-half, was second out for a flawless display, which contained five 4’s. The association of the Jam Sahib and Killick lasted two hours and a-quarter and realised 149. The left-hander reached 50 in 90 minutes, arid, in all, made his 85 out of 203 in 185 m inutes; he hit eleven 4’s, the m ajority of them capital cuts. The Jam Sahib made 50 in 95 minutes, reached 103 out of 197 in 175 min­ utes, and at the end of the day carried out his bat for 136 made out of 254 in three hours and three-quarters. His cutting and glancing to leg were excellent, and he gave no chance. With the younger Relf he put on 50 and with the elder 55 without being separated. On Tuesday the fifth wicket did not fall until it had put on 158 in two hours and a-half. Relf, who had reached 50 in 95 minutes, was then caught at the wicket for 73, a thoroughly sound innings which con­ tained five 4’s. The Jam made 150 in 260 min­ utes, but when his stand with Nason had realised 28 he skyed a ball and was caught at the wicket. He. made his 200 out of 385 in five hours and three-quarters by very characteristic cricket, which caused much enthusiasm ; he hit twenty 4’s. The fifth hundred was completed in seven hours and 35 minutes, after which Leach made a few big hits. At lunch the inn­ ings was declared closed with six wickets down for 515. A fter the interval Hayward and Hobbs qpened the Surrey innings, Goatly fielding for the Jam Sahib, who was feeling the effects of his long innings. Runs were made steadily and, despite frequent changes in the bowling, the total was taken to 88 before a wicket fell, Hobbs then being caught at slip. Hayes then joined Hayward and, as it happened, the pair played out time, adding 147 without being separated in a couple of hours. H ayward carried out his bat for 92 and Hayes for 82. On Wednesday play was for some time slow, but it brightened considerably after Hayes had reached three figures. It was not until 335, when the partner­ ship had realised 247 in three hours and a- quarter, that the second wicket fell. Hayes was then well caught at long-on by F ry, who had the sun in his eyes, for a faultless inninge of 136, which contained a 5 and sixteen 4’s. H ayward was next out, for 164 made out of 374 in five and a-quarter hours; he hit a 5 and seventeen 4’s, and was guilty of only one chance—a hard one to Yincett at mid-on when 150. Crawford made 43 in 75 minutes, and with Holland put on 59 in just under the hour. K il­ lick obtained three wickets in quick succession, but Holland and Rushby hit up 41 for the last partnership, giving Surrey a lead of 25. The long innings lasted seven hours and 40 minutes, and Holland batted a couple of hours for 57 not out. When Sussex went in again there was no interest left in the game, the match ending very quietly in a draw. Score and analysis :— S u ssex . C. B.

After a poor etart, Leicestershire did well, and by the end of the first day had scored 312 and had three wickets in hand. They lost Knight, finely caught at mid-off by Jones off a hard drive, for 6, and at 35 Fowke and White­ head were sent back by Clifton. King remained whilst 37 were added, but it was not until Coe joined Wood that any serious resistance was made to the attack. The left-hander reached 50 in 80 minutes and, in all, claimed 79 of the 146 runs put on for the fifth wicket in two hours end a-half; he scored freely all round the wicket, hit eleven 4’s, and gave no chance. Wood’s inn­ ings was wholly defensive. He took 145 min­ utes to make 50 and 280 to reach three-figures; a together, he made 131 not out out of 312 made during the day in five hours and twenty min- ntes.' 'O n Tuesday the last wicket did not fall until the total had reached 432, made in seven hours. Wood, first in and last out, scored 171 by tedious cricket. He offered no chance and made a dozen 4’s. Odell played a bright game and reached his 50 out of 61 in 45 minutes; he hit eight 4’s, and of the 101 added with Wood for the eighth wicket in 75 minutes was re­ sponsible for as many as 74. Notts opened in very promising style, George Gunn and Hard­ staff running up 81 for the first wicket in an hour and the latter and John Gunn adding 55 for the second. Hardstaff hit ten four’s during the 135 minutes he was in, giving a bright and attractive display. Jones and Alletson put on 59 for the sixth wicket in 25 minutes, but by the end of the day eight wickets were down for 262. On Wednesday Oates fell to the first ball bowled, and although Wass hit out, Notts just failed to save the follow-on. In their second innings they lost Jones at 9, after which George Gunn adopted such defensive tactics that their partnership of 62 lasted over an hour and three-quarters. Payton failed to score, but John Gunn and Iremonger put all possibility of a collajpse out of the question and succeeded in remaining together until the end of the day.

I’layed at Southampton on July 27, 28 and 29. Drawn. Hampshire received the assistance for the first time of McDonell, who had settled in Win­ chester, but Worcestershire lacked the services of G. N. Foster ail'd Simpson-Hayward. Thanks largely to Bowley, who made 106 out of 183 by faultless cricket in 110 minutes, the visitors made a oapital start, the first wicket realising 86 in an hour and the second 97 in 45 minutes. Bowley drove and hit to leg with great pre­ cision and made sixteen 4’s. H. K. Foster scored a useful 29 and Burns hit up 33 out of 41 in 25 minutes. Arnold, fifth out, at 280, made his 58 out of 194 in two hours and a-quarter, giving a capital display 6'oHsidering that he was handi­ capped by a damaged leg. Cuffe and Isaac put on 57 for the seventh wicket in 65 minutes, but the former, who batted over two hours for 50, was not sufficiently enterprising against the tired bowlers at the end of the day. When stumps were drawn seven wickets were down for 396. On Tuesday, thanks chiefly to Cuffe, Isaao and Burrows, the total was taken to 450 before the last wicket fell. Cuffe batted two bours and a-half for 79. When Hampshire went in Burns proved so effective with the new ball that half the wickets went down for 44. Bignell and Mead added 78 in an hour, McDonell and Stone 71 for the eighth wicket, and the latter and Newman the same number for the last. Stone played a most valuable game and was in two hours and a-quarter for his 69. Worcester­ shire, leading by 165, went in again in prefer­ ence to making the home side follow-on, andin the last few minutes of the day scored 16 without loss. Yesterday the not-outs were parted at 40, when Pearson was finely caught at the wicket. Foster, after being missed first ball, was out at 73, Burns made only 10, and Bowley, having made an excellent 58 in 110 minutes, and hit five 4’s, was caught at the wicket. Arnold and Cuffe, by rather too cautious cricket, took the total to 213, when the latter was caught and the innings declared closed, leaving Hampshire 379 to make in three hours. The home side, thanks chiefly to Bowell, who made no mistake and hit nine 4’s, found no difficulty in playing out time and in drawing the match. Score and an alysis:— W o r c e ster sh ir e .
