THE OVAL

At ten minutes pest noon to-day play in this
great match was resumed, the weather being again fine,
and the attendance good. Humphrey and July, the "not
outs," proceeded to the wickets, and the bowling wee
.undertaken by J. C. Shaw and Wootton. The wore was
advanced to 62 by steady play, when Alf. Shaw went on
bowling at Wootton's end, and with the last ball of second
over (a breakback) he destroyed Jupp's wicket, after
the latter had played another careful innings of 23. Two
oven later Pooley was given ont " leg before," and
Stephenson joined -Humphrey.

The play was tame and spiritless for some time, so, with
the score at 76, a change of bowling took place, ll'lntyre
relieving J. C. Sbaw, but as no separation was effected,
Mr. Truewell introduced the slows to Humphrey
and Stephenson. After bowling four overs, the
latter drove one very hotly back to the bowler,
which he failed fully to grasp, but which carried
away his little finger nail, necessitating his retirement
from the field. The ball glanced into the bands of short
slip, and Stephenson bad to retire. Not long atter, Mort-
lock got a crack on the finger, which caused him tempo-
rarily to leave his wicket, Griffith filling the vacancy. The
latter made but a single, when his free hitting got him
into difficulties, as he was caught at deep mid-off. Bristow
made another 0, being given out "leg before." Wootton
nest got at Southerton's leg-stump, and then Mattock
resumed his innings—both Humphrey and himself con-
tinuing to bat in their best form. The Notts fielding was
also first-class. The score at 3 o'clock stood as under :
