Out of eight matches , two were won, the same number lost , and four drawn . Aglance at the figures though would represent affairs perhaps in a better light , as not one of the unfinished games was left in a state unfavourable for Middlesex , and the only shire that could claim to have beaten it was York- shire , whose eleven were victorious on both occasions . The wet season was no doubt to some extent against a side possessed of such strong batting , but all round the County was much stronger than it has been for several seasons . The addition of Messrs . A. F. J. Ford, of Cambridge, and C. T. Studd, the Eton Captain , strengthened the one weak point , the bowling ; and a very useful acquisition to the batting was found in Mr. W. J. Ford, an old Cantab. Middlesex can boast the highest County innings (476) of the year , and with anyluck next season the eleven ought to be well to the front. L D
