T H EC O U N T I E SIN 1894. 1 0 7 Mr. Read(24), Mr. Key(20), Street (37), and Richardson (20), all rendered their side invaluable service . Pike gave only one bye during this long innings , and caught five batsmen at the wicket . Though whenNotts went to the wickets , Surrey lost the services of Lockwood, who had to retire owing to a sprain , the bowling of Smith and Lockwood supported by excellent fielding , was attended with such success , that , but for Mr. Dixon's 26 and Attewell's 18 not out, Notts wouldhave fared disastrously indeed . As it was, the total of the side amounted to but 73. In the follow -on, the Notts menshowed up muchbetter , Mr. Wright scoring 71, Mr. Dixon 51, and Mr. Howitt 34. Still , their efforts were unavailing , the side retiring in the end for 211. Surrey w o nb y a n innings and 15 runs. Surrey, 299. Notts, 73 and 211 ; total , 284.

Leicestershire were unfortunate in being without the services of Pougher, whose hands were injured , so that their performance was the more creditable . The first twenty wickets were not productive of heavy run-getting , Leicestershire making 122, and Notts replying with 139. Attewell bowled with effect for Notts, and Woodcock(eight for 67) for Leicestershire . Runs, however, came freely when the homeside went in again, Mr. De Trafford subscribing 89, Mr. A. Lorrimer 37, and Mr. D. Lorrimer46. Withuseful assistance fromthe remaining batsmen, the total reached 263. Wanting 247 to win, Nottt again found Woodcock (seven for 69) very puzzling , and succumbed for 140 , in which Flowers ' 38 was the largest item. Leicestershire w o nby 106 runs. Leicestershire , 122 and 263; total , 385. Notts , 139 and 140 ; total , 279. (10) N o t t sv. S o m e r s e t s h i r e . Taunton, August13, 14 a n d15. Notts madea promising commencement, though the batting of the eleven was scarcely consistent . Gunn's 101 was the distinctive feature . Flowers (31), Attewell (28), and Handford (15) were the only others to read double figures in the innings of 200. W h e nthe last Somersetshire batsman was dismissed the home side had secured a lead of seven runs , Messrs . R. Palairet , Hill , Roe, Fowler, Dunlop, and Woodshaving all done good service . Handford secured five wickets at an expense of 53 runs . O nbatting again the Notts menwere all seen to such advantage that 274 were up for six wickets , when Mr. Dixon closed the innings . G u n nbrought his aggregate for the match to 190, while Mr. Wright contributed a score of 72. Somersetshire then lost seven wickets in compiling 154, when time wasup and the match left drawn.
