M a y21, 22 and 23. Amatchnotable for the variety of the cricket as well as for the fluctuations ofthe game. Middlesex , winning the toss , made what looked like a winning start , Messrs . Hayman(152) and Stoddart (100) putting on 218 for the first wicket . Subsequently , no one except Mr. McGregor (50) offered serious resistance to the Yorkshire bowling, so that the total after all only reached 384. Brownand Tunnicliffe looked like rivalling the commencementof the other side . The pair scored 189 before they were separated , of which Tunni- cliffe's share was 62. Brownstayed till he had got over 200, and his innings of 203 was of a very high class . As was the case with Middlesex , the tail failed so muchso that Mr. E. Smith(42) alone of the last nine batsmen got over 14. Thewicket was suffering from rain when Middlesex wento na second time. It suited Peel to a nicety , and he bowled with such effect that the side were all out for 142, to which Sir T. C. O'Brien contributed 57, Mr. R. S. Lucas 34, and Mr. Stoddart 24. At the finish Yorkshire had by no means a certainty , wanting, as they did, 146 to win in two hours. Brown(81) and Tunnicliffe (63), however , settled the matter themselves , getting the runs in an hour and 20 minutes without the loss of a wicket . In the match1,054 runs were madefor 31 wickets . Brownscored 284, Tunnicliffe 125, both for once out. Yorkshire wonbynine wickets . Yorkshire , 381 and 147 (1 wicket ) ; total , 528. Middlesex , 384a n d142; tota! 526.
