334 CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ugust 12, 1909. S O M E R S E T v . S U R R E Y . P layed at T a u n ton on A u gu st 9, 10 and 11. lew is ’ ben efit . Som erset w on by three w ickets. Surrey took the field without Hayes, who was playing for England, and in his absence included Thompson, the head of the ground-staff, who had not assisted the side for thirteen years, and who has recently developed the art of “ googlie ” bowling. There was a beautiful wicket and the weather was perfect. Lewis dismissed Hobbs at 26 and Hayward at 29, whilst Goatly left at 31 and Bird at 36. Then Marshal and Ducat came together and in 55 minutes put on 106 for the fifth wicket. Marshal, cutting well, reached 51 in 40 minutes, and made his 75 in 65 minutes : he hit ten 4’s. The innings lasted two hours and a-half and realised 187, Lewis taking six wickets for 62. Somerset lost Herbert, Johnson and Robson for 44, and, although Samson and Braund added 3S in 40 minutes, half the side were out for 82: Palairet played-on to the first ball he received. When play ceased six wickets were down for 131. On the second day Daniell and Phillips remained until their stand for the seventh wicket had put on 59 in 50 minutes. The latter hit four 4’s off Bitch in an over, and Daniell carried out his bat for 40 when the innings closed for 186. Lees took seven wickets for 42 and obtained his 100th wicket of the season. In Surrey’s second innings Hayward played a great game, but, although Goatly helped to put on 25 and Marshal 41, half the side were out for 98. With his total 57 Hayward obtained his 1,000th run of the season. The other players gave him poor support, and when the innings closed for 156 he was left to carry out his bat for a splendid effort of 90. He hit nine 4’s and made several fine cuts and drives. Owing to an injury to his leg, Leveson-Gower was unable to bat. Somerset were left with 158 to win and by the end of the day had scored 87 of the number for four wickets. Johnson, Herbert and Samson were out for 14, but Phillips, driving with great power, made 55 out of 82 in 50 minutes and was still not out when stumps were drawn. On Wednesday Phillips was bowled with only 3 added, and at 107 Braund met a similar fate. Robson and Lewis, however, added 31, and the latter and Palairet obtained the other runs necessary, Somerset winning with three wickets to spare. Lewis finished the match by hitting Hitch for three 4’s off consecutive balls. Score and analysis :— S urrey . First innings. Second innings.

G u ille m a r d . Mr. Arthur George Guillemard, an old Rugbeian, died at Eltham on Saturday in his sixty-fourth year. He w ill be best remembered as co-founder (in 1862) with the late Mr. Arthur W ilson, of Derby, of the Butterflies, of which he was for many years the honorary secretary.

When travelling in Australia in 1876 he saw in a Sydney publication the score of the match supposed to have been played during 1874-5 between Ulster and Macquarie, wherein the former were stated to have made 1,238 in an innings, and, not knowing it wTas a hoax, caused it to be inserted in Lillyw liite’s C ricketers ’ C om panion for 2877. Mr. Guillemard was very well known in the Rugby football world. Mr. C. A. S t e in . Mr. Charles Albert Stein died suddenly at Croydon on Monday in his fifty-ninth year Photo by] MR. C. A. STEIN. [H.
