MIDDLIIMI Y. ENGLAND.— The metropolitan county
having in the maim IMO achieved such emcees as to entitle.° EI
to the championship amongst the counties, his this year aspired,
end not without justification, to the high honour of playing
England, and as fur the last ten years Whit Monday has been a
"red letter day" at Lord's, the committee of the M.C.C. determined
to substitute the match Iliddielex v. England for that between
the AU Ragland and Celled Elevens oo the "peoples holiday."
Accordingly, yesterday morning. soon after 12, the captain of
the England team, having woo the toes, elected to
take fleet Innings, and Mr. E. M. Grace and Jeep were
the tint occupants of the wickets, the attack being en-
treated to Hearne and Howitt. There was • Loge
company preseut when the play began, and the grand stand,
which was used publicly for the Int thee, was well patronised.
In the afternoon there were over 4,000 spectators present Mr. I
E. M. Graces rocket weigh. lest So yield be began at • gra at
pace. a 5 and • 3 being booked to his credit quickly--when he was
bowled by Hearne ; Jupp followed when 37 were recorded ; and
then a permanent alliance was established between Mr. Lub-
bock and Mr. W. G. Grace, which defied the undeniable skill of
the Middlesex bowlers and the generalship of their captain,
affording a grand treat to the holiday folks and the ocrenoteseurs
of cricket who looked on. The score rose rapidly, both gentle-
men hitting with great severity ant effect. AU sore of ch
in the bowling were tried : nest, Mr. B. D. Walker, at tie,atuArZl
at Howitt's end ,who began at the wrung wicket:: at 00 Mantle
relieved Hearne still the pair adhered tenaciously to the
wickets. At 123 Mr. R. U Walker bowled from the pavilion
end: at 130 Mr. J. U. Walker tried • few overs at slows
at 142 the wicket-keeper ought to have stnmped
Grace. The brothers Walter pegged away both with hands and
head and practised a little Meese, but it availed nothing. The
Middlesex out-fielding was also very nne—in fact it was A 1
cricket all round. .4t 150 Howitt was wisely changed to the
pavilion end, from whence Wootton b generally so destructive.
11r. Lubbock gave half a chance at midelf, and a whole one to
the wicket keeper, which was not taken. As the slows were not a
paying birestment, Mr. J. b. tie alker surrendered the bowling to
Hearne. but his second lull was driven to the timberyard. 1141-
dieser had caught a "brace of Tartars." They kept hitting
away in rare style till dinner time, when they bad put on exactly
no runs between them. A fterv/Ards Mr. Will:inson had a try
at the pavilion east, sad with the *frond ball he clean
howled Mr. W. G. Grace, for a splendid Innings of
75, including three fours, six threes, nine twos, Be.
(5 for Lss Bennett was settled in the mooed over by Hearne ;
James Litlywhite returned one to the bowler and b fur nu):
Mr. Wilkinson howled Greenwood's middle stump. Hotritt
went on again at the pavilion end, and Mantle at the reverse.
Mr. Lubbock mounted owe at slip, but Hewitt let It down. :thaw
was then elcan bowled .7 for 245,. At a quarter past five Mr.
Lubbock came to grief, Mr. Winter cleverly stumping him off
Mantle, from whose bowling he had been tee-inlet oil previously.
Mr. Lubbock went intlrst wicket down with the were at 11, and
left it at 6.14 with it at MI, Ms indtvideal cent eau • amount-
Mg to 129, one live, five loon. ten threes, and four-
teen twoe—as grand an innings againstall sorts of bowling as was
ever played on Lord's GI wind. The innings closed for 261.
Middlesex lost no time In sending In Messrs. Winter ant
Wilkinson, and both were in rare hitting form, eepecislly the
former. The England bowler were Mr. IV. el. Grave and Wootton -
'the latter from the pavilion endt. Like England they began at a ;
great pace, 13 runs being made off the first three oven, mid 25
being booked iu the tent quarter of an hour. Mr. Winters l
career was then suddenly ktermlnated, as he was Men by
A. thaw at square leg, oft a very line hit (1 for SO). Two ovens
after Mr. Wilkinson was splendidly " petaled "by Mr. E. M, '
Grace (2 for 31). Mr. E. D. Walker and Hearne were next In, '
and during Use ensuing 20 minutes 16 were added, and than
Hearne was bowled oil Ms thigh (3 for 4sl. The next over settled •

cellcnt cricket ensued, thaws fielding being very fine. Mr./Jewell,
who looked like staying " and hitting too, was soon after

Daniel, who speedily lost has partner, Mr. J. U. Walker, he being
