The ground always favoured the attack to some extent on Monday, and during the day seventeen wickets fell for 292 runs. Sale, a left- handed batsman of Repton, made his first appearance for the home side, and Evans, of Winchester, played his first match for Hants. Derbyshire lost Needham without a run, but the second wicket did not go down until 40. Still, half the side were out for 68 and, although Lawton played well, the total was only 145 when the ninth wicket fell. Warren and Bestwick then came together and in 45 minutes added a most valuable 66 , the former, who hit with great power all round the wicket and made eig h th ’s, scoring 68 in an hour. In reply to a total of 211 Hampshire fared so badly that half the 81de were out for 38 in an hour. Stone afterwards made 21 not out, but at the end of the day seven wickets were down for 81. On Tuesday the three wickets more than doubled the score, but the home side could nevertheless claim a lead of 44 on the innings. Stone took his total to 47, and Newman, who put on 40 with Badcock for the last wicket, carried out his b a t# for 27. Derbyshire, upon going in the second time, lost half their wickets for 91, but the total eventu­ ally reached 320, Sale and Cadman putting on 68 for the sixth partnership. Warren and R ick­ man 54 for the eighth, and Humphries and Best­ wick 65 for th 3 last. Stumps were drawn when the last wicket fell, Hampshire being left 365 to win with a whole dav before them. On the third day Johnston and Bowell, after a very slow opening, settled down to good cricket and took the score to 101 for the first wicket. Bowell was then stumped, and 31 later Johnston and Sprot fell to consecutive balls from Warren. The fifth wioket fell at 149. and of the later hatsmen only Evans, who thoroughly justified his inclusion, made much resistance. Derby shire won by 126 runs. Score and analysis Derbyshire.

The home side gained a great advantage on Monday by scoring 136 for two wickets in reply to a total of 229. Warwickshire gave a very disappointing display, considering the excellence of the wicket, and, but for a tenth-wicket stand of 73 which lasted 45 minutes, would have cut a sorry figure. Glover, missed by Cuffe when 12, made his 72 out of 138 in an hour and a-half and hit eight 4’s. After Bowley had been sent back at 19, H. K. Foster and Pearson put on' 112, and, at the end of the day, when two wickets were down for 136, the former, who had been missed at slip when 26, carried out his bat for 70. On the second day everything was dwarfed by Foster’s batting. He and Cuffe took the home side right ahead before the latter was bowled for 87 made out of the 221 put on for the third wicket in two hours. Foster hit freely all round, and, owing chiefly to his aggressive tactics, the total wa3 taken from 200 to 300 in 40 minutes. Cuffe hit fourteen 4’s and Foster, who batted 220 minutes, thirty. The latter played a most attractive innings, and the only fault which could be urged against him was a difficult chance to Fishwick at slip when 26. Against tired bowling G. N. Foster made 43 in half-an-hour and Burns 51 in 70 m inutes; the latter and Arnold put on 83 in 45 minutes. Altogether Worcestershire made 556 in five hours and a-half, establishing’ a lead of 327. In the second innings of the visitors Kinneir and Baker added 90 in 75 minutes, but at the end of the day three wickets were down for 122. Yester­ day Fishwick made some big hits, but was bowled when the fourth wicket had put on 74. Lillev helped Quaife to put on a further 94 in 75 minute?, and after his dismissal the latter and Glover made a great stand for the sixth wicket. Glover plaved confidently from the start, and claimed 109 of the 204 put on for the wicket in 150 minutes, hitting twelve 4’s and giving1 no chance. Goodwin hit out for 38, and when stumps were drawn Quaife carried out his bat for a flawless and fine 189, which contained twenty-three 4’s and took 340 minutes to make.

The feature of Monday’s cricket was the batting of Johnson, whose first appearance of the year it was for Somerset. In three hours he made 164 out of 250 and was then bowled in trying to drive. He made some extremely fine drives, hit a 6 and twenty-two 4’s, and took maay risks during the latter part of his innings. His display was not quite faultless, seeing he was missed in the long- £eld by Douglas when 2 and at the wicket by Page when 60, but it was nevertheless a meri­ torious performance. Robson, missed by Douglas before making a run, made 53 of the 124 added with Johnson for the sixth wicket in 85 minutes, and Newton, who batted very steadily, remained whilst 59 were put on in 25. In response to the total of 341, Middlesex made 14 without loss in the last fifteen minutes of the day. The next morning Douglas was bowled when 51 had been made in three-quarters of an hour. Upon Warner and Tarrant coming together the scoring became very brisk. The hundred went up in 75 minutes, and five minutes later Warner reached 50. 150 were scored in 110 minutes, and Tarrant made 50 in an hour and a-quarter and Warner 100 (out of 184) in 130 minutes. Altogether, the second wicket put on 151, of which number Tarrant, who hit twelve 4’s and was caught at mid-off, claimed 70. Warner was caught at slip just afterwards after batting- 160 minutes for a flawless 105, included in which were a 5 and thirteen 4’s. Litteljohn failed to score, and upon Wells’ dismissal for 14 half the side were out for 227. Bosanquet and Page, hitting freely, put on 81 in 25 min­ utes, the former making a dozen 4’s in his admirable 53. The ninth wicket, however, went down at 316, and it was due to a rousing1partner­ ship of 62 for the last wicket that Middlesex were able to claim a lead of 37 on the innings. At the end of the day Braund and Johnson made 54 without loss, putting Somerset ahead with all their wickets in hand. On Wednesday the total was taken to 110 before Braund, who had made 34, was sent back. Johnson played excellent cricket and, after being in 150 min­ utes, completed his second hundred of the match. In all, the latter made 131 out of 199 in 175 minutes, hitting sixteen 4’s and offering no chance. Palairet and Lewis sent the score along- merrily and added 72 for the third part­ nership. Robson also scored freely and, upon the fall of the seventh wicket at 360, the innings was closed, leaving Middlesex 324 to win. Doug-las, Bosanquet and Wells were quickly dis­ posed of, but Warner and Tarrant took the score without further loss to 73, when stumps were drawn owing to bad light.
