The home side had about their strongest team, in the absence of the Foster clan (except H. K .) ; Somerset lacked P. R. Johnson, John Daniell, and B. L. Bisgood, and did not play Hardy. Braund ran up the highest score of the first-class season to date, and eclipsed all his previous performances. He went off from the jump, scored 32 in 20 minutes, and 50 in 45 ; then he slowed down and took 65 minutes more to reach his loo; but the second hundred came in 65 minutes, and he added 37 more in the last half-hour. Batting 3! hours 111 all, and forcing the pace almost throughout, he gave only two actual chances (both in the slips, at 34 and 171), though he made a number of faulty strokes. He got a big propor­ tion of his runs by well-timed driving, and also showed hi* old skill on the leg side. Of the rest Hyman alone topped 25, aiding Braund in a third wicket partnership of 105; but Deane and White aided the big scorer in valuable stands— over 70 in each case— for the seventh and tenth wickets. Burrows has seldom this season met with such punishment as Braund meted out to him ; but the burly one stuck pluckily to his task, as he always does. Worcestershire lost Bowley, Pearson, and H. K . for 72 before call of time, and were in a very bad position when young Chester (only 17) joined Cuffe w ith 6 down for 107. In 105 minutes these two added 128, the Australian batting better than he has done for a very long time for his 79. The colt played a splendid innings. No one could have imagined that he had it in him to do so well. Careful at first, his 50 taking him 100 minutes, he warmed up to his work later, and drove in free and forcible style. In all he batted 170 minutes, and gave nothing like a chance. Hunt (a cricketer with more ability than he is usually credited with, as well as an expert in ground-tending) helped him to add go for the eighth w’icket. When Somerset batted again, 39 on, a very poor show was given. With two exceptions, Bajana and Braund, the whole side failed against Burn9 and Pear­ son, and in the sequel the home county were set only 160 to get for victory. These were got with the greatest ease, Bowley and Pearson putting up exactly 100 for the first wicket. Pearson (seven 4’s) was in during the whole of the 105 minutes required, and played in fine style. Worcester­ shire thus won by 8 wickets. Deane bowletl two wides in first innings. Umpires : Street and Vining. Essex v. Middlesex, At Leyton, June 27, 28, and 30. Essex played O. C. Bristowe for the first time, and had seven amateurs, as against five in the visiting team. The first day’s play fhowed them to great advantage. After Mclver had left at 25, running himself out, John Douglas and Gillingham added 139 for the second wicket. Gillingham hit splendidly, following up 119 and 93 v. Surrey with another 93 in this innin gs; he was only in 105 minutes, and made sixteen 4’s. Douglas batted as long as 2j hours; but his innings was good value, and it is pleasant to see that he has broken his long spell of wretched luck. With four wickets down for 171 Russell and F. L. Fane became partners; in 150 minutes they added 170 runs. Fane left a few minutes after Russell. 1'he old Carthusian’s brilliant 115, the result of 165 minutes at the wickets and some fine play to the off, included twelve 4’s. Russell, apparently quite fit again after his knock on the head, showed very sound and good form. At call of time the score was 359 for 6. On Saturday (when there were 5,000 spectators) it W'as taken to 411, Buckenham hitting out well. Tarrant and Robertson put up 96 for the first wicket of the visitors; but 6 were down for 200. Then J . W Hearne and H aig made an excellent stand, and had added 115 unparted at call of time. They carried their partnership to 138 on Monday. Haig batted about a couple of hours for his 66 (one 6, eight 4’s). With Murrell and Hearne together 99 were added, and a first innings’ lead was obtained. After that the only interest left in the match was as to whether the England man would reach 200. He had no chance to do this, however. His 178* was marred by only one chance (a difficult one at 72), and he batted hours, hitting fifteen 4’s. The rest of the day w as occupied by some rather un­ necessarily restrained play by Essex, not even Gillingham scoring fast. W a n te d .— Volumes of C r ick e t for 1888, 1890, and 1894.
