A sparkling innings by Barber enabled Yorkshire to secure R lead of 102 runs on the first inn- inga.
Bowes again showed deadly form to dismiss Middlesex a second time for 134, his own personal bag being 7 wickets for 64 runs. Durston, the former fast bowler who is now a slow-break bowler, had the distination of capturing 6 Yorkshire wickets for 73 runs. His effort was, how- ever, not good enough to save Middlesex from sustaining their
first defeat of the season.
Yorkshire have made a re- markable recovery in the last fortnight during which period they have made a triumphant tour of the South. The follow- ing is their record during the Jast fortnight:

The weather to-day was dry but dull and a big attendance wit- teased the opening games of the most famous tournament in the world. Good tennis kept the crowd on their tip toes, but no real sensation was provided such as Cochet's defeat in the First und last year.
