S o m e r s e t s h i r e . M a y22 and 23. With W. C. Hedley , V. T. Hill , J. B. Challen , and L. C. H. Palairet , all absent , Somersetshire had only a weak side to oppose the full strength of Middlesex . As a consequence , though H.T. Hewett (77), andG. Fowler (54) put on 110 for the first wicket , they were subsequently quite outplayed at all points . The only noteworthy feature subsequently in the batting , was the free hitting of S. M. J. W o o d sand W . Trask, w h oput on 41 runs in 15 minutes in the second innings , and the addition of 41 by Nichols and Rev. A. P. Wickham, for the last wicket . On the other hand the Somersetshire bowling was not of a kind to trouble the Middlesex batsmen, A. J. Webbe. the captain , at least was quite at home with it. In the first innings he made47 himself in anhour and fifty minutes . In the second , A. E. Stoddart and he put on 73 in just over half- an-hour. G. Fowler dismissed all the three batsmen, (Webbe, Stoddart , and Stanley Scott ) out in the second innings of Middlesex for fourteen runs. (2) Gloucestershirev . M i d d l e s e x . M a y29, 30, and 31 . A sthe weather was, Gloucestershire was very fortunate in getting choice of innings . W. G. and J. J. Ferris , began well by making 93 for Gloucestershire , and whenrain stopped play for the day, early on the first afternoon , the total was 182 for the loss of only half the side , with W. G. not out, 82. Atotal of 222 as the wicket wasgave Gloucestershire an apparent advantage at the outset , still abrilliant innings of 74 by A. E. Stoddart , gave the game a better appearance for Middlesex , and thanks to the vigorous hitting of J. T. Hearne, who scored 35 of the last 39, they were only twenty behind on the first innings . With 235 to win, and the wicket helping the bowlers , Middlesex hadby no means an easy task, and whenthe sixth wicket fell with the total only 47, all chance was gone . P. J. T. Henery's dashing cricket indeed was the only relief in the general failure . Hehit with remarkable vigour , and his 63 not out, was one of the very best features of the match. Gloucestershire wonby 115 runs . Gloucestershire , 222 and 214 ; total 436; Middlesex 202 and 119, total 321. bus Mod-on & lesstilob Afrologia JEN
