A u g u st 13, 1908. CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 349 in fifty-five minutes. Page just reached double figures, but Tarrant and Douglas by bright and attractive cricket put on 126 for the fourth wicket. Douglas played a capital game, and Tarrant seconded him admirably.

H AM P SH IR E v. SOM ER SET. Played at Southampton on August 10 , 11 , aud 12. Somerset won by seven •wickets. The home side remained in all the time available on Monday, scoring 381 for eight wickets in four hours aud a-half. Bowell and Johnston gave the side a good start by making SOfor the first wicket in seventy minutes. The former, who drove power­ fully and hit six 4’s, batted one hundred and thirty minutes for his faultless 05. Mead played a useful innings, and was sent back by means of a fine one- handed catch in the long-field. Hill and Evans also played attractive cricket, anti during the hour- and-a-quarter they were together put on 120 for the fifth wicket by the best cricket of the day. Evans hit as many as eleven 4’s in his 48, whilst Hill, who hit to leg and cut in capital style, made his SOwith­ out a mistake in an hour-and-a-half, hitting thirteen 4’s. Bignell, who made a 5 and nine 4’s, scored 44 of the 59 added for the seventh wicket with Stone in forty minutes. On Tuesday Remnant and Newman put on 39 more, and, when the innings closed for 425, the latter carried out his bat for a very good 34. When Somerset went in everything was dwarfed by the batting of Johnson, who made his third successive hundred. He was missed at third-man by Remnant when he had made 42, but no other mistake could be urged against him. Be made his 117 out of 174 in two hours, scored well all round the wicket and hit a five and seventeen 4’s. With Bisgood he put on 77 for the third wicket in half-an-hour. After his departure the side collapsed, the last six wickets going down for 88. As the wicket was showing signs of wear, Bampshire went in again, but fared so badly that by the end of the day they had been dismissed in one hundred minutes for 128. Greswell, the young Reptonian, was responsible for the collapse, securing his seven wickets whilst only 19 runs were made off him. Somerset were set 292 to win. On Wednesday the wicket rolled out better than was expected, but Somerset did not start their great task well, Johnson being bowled at 33, Lewis failing to reach double figures, and Bisgood being bowled for 19. At this point Woods joined Braund and a great partnership resulted. Braund was badly missed when 75, and the mistake proved an expensive one, for all the remaining runs were hit off without further loss, the stand producing 199 runs. It was a great triumph for Somerset to defeat the conquerors of Kent in such fashion. Score and analysis : H a m psh ir e . A. C.

Played at Brighton on August 10 , 11 , and 12 . Drawn. In four hours and a-half on the opening day Sussex made 315, which was by no means a bad total seeing that the seventh wicket went down at 10?. Vine, by free cricket, made 34 of the first 40 in forty-five minutes, and. Robert Relf and Young put on 82 for the third wicket in seventy minutes. Young, third out at 128, batted two hours for 57 - a ■t sound innings which contained eleven 4’s, the majority of them cuts. Whitfeld and Leach by their timely stand quite changed the aspect of the game. Their partnership for the eighth wicket lasted sixty-five minutes and realised 115, of which number Leach, hitting well all round, was responsible for 09 ; he hit fourteen 4’s, but was missed off a skyer by Hitch at mid-on when.he had made 39. Whitfeld, when the innings closed, carried out his bat for an excellent 71, made in an hour and fifty minutes. In the last quarterof an-hour Surrey made 9without loss. On the second morning the total had reached only 34 when Hobbs, after batting forty-five minutes for 15, was Ibw. Ten runs later Hayes was disposed of in a similar manner, but upon the advent of Marshal some free hitting was seen. Soon after his arrival Hayward, when 25, was missed by Leach off his own bowling, and the mistake proved very expensive. Marshal, having hit Leach for five 4’s in an over, reached 50 in thirty-five minutes, and so fast was the scoring that the 1otal was taken from 50 to 100 in twenty minutes. In all, the stand for the fifth wicket lasted sixty-five minutes and put on 117, of which number Marshal was responsible for S8. Ilayward, missed by Young at slip when 64 put on 02 for the fourth wicket with Ducat and the same number for the seventh >»ith Leveson-Gower. Bay ward scored 175 out of 368 in two hundred and ninety minutes, but owed much to missed catches, for, in addition to the two chances mentioned, he Afras missed in the long field by Vine when 148 and 153. He made his runs »'y a variety of strokes and hit twenty-four 4’s. In the last hour of the day Sussex made 50 for the loss of Young’s wicket. On the third morning Killick played a lucky innings of 45, and Vine after batting one hundred and fifty minutes without a mistake, w^s lbw for a steady 43. Neither of the Relfs succeeeded in reaching double figures, but Nason and Whitfeld put on 112 for the sixth wicket, and pulled the side out of danger. Both the young amateurs batted particu­ larly well, and it would not be easy to over-estimate the value of their performance. Stumps wrere drawn when Surrey had made 18 for the loss of Marshal’s wicket. Score and analysis :— S u ssex . First innings. Second innings. R. A.

Kent,who were without Mason, Hutchings, Fielder and Blythe, batted on a perfect wicket on Monday for tw * hundred and eighty minutes, during which time they made 426 for s£ven wickets. After Marsham had batted half-an-hour for 12, Hardinge and Seymour put on 109 in one hundred and five minutes, and the former and S. H. Day 126 in just under an hour and a-half. Seymour hit a dozen 4’s, and was missed by 1 >ouglas at point when 79, but Hardinge, who made his 153 out of 314 in two hundred and twrenty minutes and hit fifteen 4’s, {gave no chance, S. H, Day gave a stylish display
