The i M.C.C. is quite in favour of the scheme. 1 The weather was fine and the wickets good to-day, nnd there was heavy scoring. Surrey against North Hants made 019 for five wickets, and then declared. Peach made 200 not out, and Ducat 149. Hampshire against Warwick made Old for seven wickets and then declared. Mor.d made 102 not out, Brown 151, Barrett 14S. Against Middlesex Woollcy made 9G. Fender (Sussex) mnde 113 not out in 40 minutes. He scored the century in 35 minutes to-day, beating Cilbert „.
