The Australians bad scored 208 (for six wickets) at the end of the day's play, Taylor hitting 53 and Andrews 85, while Marshall took 3 wickets for 2 runs.
THE COUNTY MATCHES YORKSHIRE WIN BY TEN WICKETS.
Middlesex, got small change out of their visit to Bradford, the Champions win -ning by ton wickets after gaining a first innings advantage of 78, and dismissing the visitors for 80 runs in their second incinge.
Middlesex are regarded as one of the most powerful batting sides in England but they were sensationally dismissed through the efforts of Roy Kilner, who bowled unchanged and took eight wickets for 40 runs.
AMPLE" OF OTHER GAMES:
Cricket has not advanced one iota for many years. As compared with other sports there have been practically no changes in the rules to meet the vast im- provement in modern bats and pitches. or to make the game really attractive to the paying spectator. #
In football the off-side rule has made a wonderful difference, the barring of the archor stroke in billiarde which can be compared to stone-walling in cricket saved that game-from the spectator's point of view, for remember that without the spectator county and other first-class cricket must die.
In golf, too, changes have been adopt ed, such as the gutty ball. But what has Holmes scored a century as did been altered in cricket, to make it alive? Hearne, the scores being:-.
Nothing
Middlesex: 295 and 80. Yorkshire: 371 and 6 (for û wicket). Middlesex depended on Hearne and G. O. Allen for the greater portion of their score in the first innings. Hearne hit 134 and Allen scored 60. The failure in the second innings was general
Holmes (128) and Leyland (87) were the mainstay of the Yorkshire side in their first innings, while Haig took wickets for 109 runs.
ASHDOWN AGAIN. IN FORM AT MAIDSTONE
Breaking a sequence of historia Black heath encounters, Kent's home match with Surrey was played at Maidstone and the visitors gained points for a lend on the first innings.
The match was keenly contested, and twenty-one wickets fell in the course of the three days, and the feature was the sterling play of Ashdown, the young Kent professional, who has been per- forming splendidly throughout the sea- Boa. and who hit 69 in the Kent first innings, following this up with 102 not out in a total of 170 for one wicket, în the second innings.
The scores were —
Kent: 356 and 170 (for 1 wicket), Sarrey: 434
IN CASE OF EAIN. --
My cure is this. Change the rafes drastically. Let there be a time limit for batting. In a three days' match, there are approximately 18 playing hours. Then let each team bat for a deânita period-for the saks of argument, say tour and a half hours at a time. When their time is up out they must come, even though no wicket has fallen, and in goes the other side for the same period. This would be an inducement to score quickly; If rain interferes with the play, de duct the time lost proportionately from each side's time allowance for batting, In this way we should get brisk play and finished games. Drawn games are killing cricket, and they must be done away with We have a saying, It isn't Cricket, and to-day it isn't," Billy Merson con- cluded tersely,

By this act Robinson freed the country of a desperado whose crimes varied in degree from a simple theft to cold-blooded. murder.
The story of Robinson's life is doubly entrancing.
Firstly, it is based on a display of eour- age that will only be forgotten with the extinction of crime itself and, secondly, it is concluded by a prolonged sequence of tragic events which show, as it has often been shown before, that in the power of the arm lies the weakness of the

It was about & o'clock in the morning of October 10th, 1878, when Police-con- stable Robinson accomplished the tank which deluged him with a nation's grati tudo, but which, unhappily," instead of hastening him along the paths of pro gress, only revealed his own mental frail. ties, and ultimately landed him in the workhouse, where he remained for the lart 17 years and where he died recently.
At that time (1878) he was Police-con- stable Robinson 2028 and had just turned 30. On this particular night he was on his boat from St. John's Park to Black- benth, and as he passed the residence of Mr. J. A. Buress a momentary flash of
light appeared in the drawing-room, and later in the window of the room above.
HOW PEACE WAS CAUGHT. Robinson knew that Mr. Burness was away from home, and that Mrs. Burness and the chlidren were in the house asleep. He concluded, therefore, that the flashes he had seen indicated the presence of burglars, so he began at once to make further investigations..
He went for Sergeant Brown, 32R, and Constable Gurling, 284R, and then began the nocturnal drama which thrilled the land from end to end, and had its sequel three months later, when Charles Peaco passed into the Unknown by the hands of Marwood, on the gallows at Armley Gaol, Leeds.

He pointed an American six-chambered revolver direct at Robinson's face and granted out:Keep back; keep back or by God I'll kill you!"
But Robinson defied him, whereupon Peace, opened fire. His first two shots missed narrowly; then Robinson slipped on the wet grass, and thus was lucky to escape the effects of two further shots. When he regained his feet Robinson made rush at Peace and struck him square of the face. Peace fired again, the bullet this time passing through Robinson's arm,
and from there it went right through a window of the house.
