I n Mr. Stoddart was unable to play for Middlesex , and Mr. G. L. Jessop for Gloucestershire . W. G., winning the toss , put Middlesex in, not altogether unwisely as events proved. It was a high scoring match throughout , with really hardly a chance of a definite result at any time. Thirty-two wickets realised altogether 1,127 runs , which gives an average of over 35 runs . generally high run-getting the best performances were those of Mr. F. G. J. Ford(66 and150) for Middlesex , and Mr. S. A. P. Kitcat (95 not out and 30) for Gloucestershire . Mr. Ford was only batting two hours and twenty-five minutes for his 150, which contained 19 fours . It was a most brilliant display of all -round cricket . At the commencementof the match, Messrs . H. B. Hay- m a nand P. F. W a r n e rput o n 88runs for the first wicket of Middlesex. In thefirst innings of Gloucestershire Wrathall hit very freely for 80. A t the endof this same innings Roberts was batting fifty -five minutes for two runs. Middlesex, 386 and 253 (6 wickets , innings declared closed ) ; total , 639. Gloucestershire , 330 and 158 (6 wickets ) ; total ,488.
