Essex were without Fane and M clver; the home side lacked Vials and William Denton, and Thorpe, the footballer, took J. H . Ryan’s place. Only 140 minutes’ play was possible on Friday. Douglas and Russell put up 96 in 110 minutes for the first wicket before the captain was run out, and at the close the score was 122 for 2. Russell had no support at all on Saturday; he went right through the innings, batting hours and hitting eight 4’s. The wicket just suited Smith, and no one but Russell seemed able to play him. If Essex had had a slow left-hander playing the home side would scarcely have fared so well. As it was, East, batting 165 minutes for his 71, proved the mainstay of his side. He gave no chance, and he hit when he thought well to do so, as two 6’s and nine 4 ’s indicate. Haywood helped him to add 68 for the second wicket, and John Denton 50 for the fifth. Later Wells hit out, and Northants gained a lead of 94. Essex had only a short time to bat, and Douglas altered the order, which may or may not have been politic. To judge by results is not always fa ir ; but three wickets fell for 25 runs before close of play. One of these was Russell’s, however, and Russell seems to have established his place as first man in. Freeman and Douglas added 55 together on Monday, and Campbell stayed with Perrin for nearly an hour ; but there was never any real chance of the home side’s being beaten, and eventually they won by 8 wickets. Smith’s bowling had much to do with their success. First Innings. J. VV. H. T. Douglas, run out P. A. Perrin, c Seymour, b Smith ... Russell (A. C.),' not out ................ C. P.

Umpires : Roberts and Carlin. O. M. 4 o 6 1 R. W. 15 o 15 1 At Lord’s, June 6, 7, and 9. The home side had W . P. Robertson and G. G. Napier for H. W . Weston and M ignon; Surrey lacked two of her best in Hayward and Smith. Warner won the toss, and, after Tarrant had gone cheaply, Robertson and young Hearne added 50 for the second wicket. Bird went on, and his first ball bowled the pro. Warner helped the old Harrovian to add 84. Robertson played a very fine innings for his 87. He gave no chance till he had passed 70, and though he w as in as long as three hours he was never dull to watch. He hit ten 4’s. H aig and Hendren made some ru n s; but Hitch and Bird quickly polished off the tail, and after a somewhat shortened day play ceased at the fall of the last wicket. Gilbert Reay, who was being given a trial for Surrey, could not find his length when first put on, and had no further chance. The pitch was queer on Saturday, following ra in ; Bird and Hobbs started cautiously (which was wrong, according to the D .M .’s theory); but the captain could not keep it up (or perhaps he suddenly remembered the D.M.), and, going out to swipe Tarrant, was easily stumped. Hayes was scratchy; but he helped Goatly, who played very soundly, to add 57. Gilbert Reay showed excellent form, but finished by running himself out foolishly. Tarrant, never easy to play, had a capital analysis. Middlesex had a lead of 71, and this was increased to 132 before Robertson and Tarrant were parted. Rushby and Hitch were not bowling well, and Goatly, who scarcely ever goes on, was given a show. He actually took the wickets of Tarrant, J. W . Hearne, and Warner, and he bowled the latter two! Is the old Tw icken­ ham player a hitherto unsuspected all-rounder? Hearne’s 53 were made in his usual cool style. Hendren hit out, and at call of time Middlesex were 259 on with 5 to go . On Monday the pitch always gave the bowlers a chance to get work on, and the Middlesex innings w as soon finished off by Rushby and Goatly. Hendren hit hard for his 47, and Doll also punished well. Surrey 311 for victory, and would have brought off a very fine feat indeed if they had won. As it was, they made a good fight, although Tarrant, by getting rid early of Hobbs and Bird, seemed to have spoiled their chance. Hayes played a great game, batting 95 minutes for his 68; Goatly helped him to add 54 for the third wicket, and Reay, who hit hard, 68 for the fifth. Spring, Hitch, and Strudwick also hit o u t; but Middlesex were always a bit ahead, and won in the end by 70 runs, thanks very largely to W . P. Robertson and Tarrant. Douglas bowled one wide.
