Though Somersetshire had the advantage of first use of an excellent wicket, they failed to take advantage of it . O n the contrary , Mr. G. Brann(120), alone m a d enearly as m a n yas the Somersetshire eleven in their first innings, andSussex witha lead of 218, had practically the game thoroughly in hand. The Somerset- shire bowlers were very severely punished by Mr. C. A. Smith (53), as well as Mr. Brann, for the two amateurs put on 134 runs in seventy minutes . Mr. Brann himself was in only an hour and forty minutes , so that he alone scored at the rate of over a run a minute . The Somersetshire captain , Mr. H. T. Hewett, set his side an excellent example in the second innings , making 83 of the first 158. Seven other batsmen on the side got double figures , but none of them were very high. Still , at the end, Sussexhadto get 47 to win, which they got at the cost of one batsman. The main cause of Somersetshire's cheap dismissal in the first innings wasHumphrey's lob bowling . In 76 balls he took six wickets at an expense of 54 runs . Sussex , 354 and 49 (one wicket ) ; total , 403. Somersetshire , 137 and 263 ; total, 400. 1197319 ans bed (2) S o m e r s e t s h i r ev.

T h eSomersetshire eleven considering that they were without the brothers Palairet as well as Mr. Challen , did well to start with a total of 227. The batting wassingularly uniform , as ten of the eleven got double figures , with Mr. Trask's 37 (not out), the highest score . The Yorkshire menhowever found the Somerset- shirebowlersso m u c hto their taste thatthe total w a sm o r et h a ndoubled. Six ofthe eleven were able to make over fifty , three of them, Brown(84),Wainwright
