Middlesex , with the exception of Mr. S. W. Scott , could do nothing with Lohmann'sbowl- ing, andcollapsed for the small total of 90. Mr. Scott , whowent in first wicket down, carried out his bat for 42-a most excellent display of batting . Middle- sex , at their second attempt , could only improve on their first innings by two runs , Messrs . Walker, Hadow, and Spillman , who alone got into double figures , scoring 70 out of the 89 runs from the bat. Lohmann'sbowling was thechief featureof the m a t c h.
