The conditions certainly did not lend themselves to these, and with their tactics in- favourite close pusing elfective, the Chinese players were by no means as dangerous as they munity aer on a dry ground. Par- Hrularly were they inept in the first half before they settled down; lack- ing ball control, the half backs found their normal methods useless on such

On the other hand, the Middlesex men seemed to relish the heavy do- ing. Certain it is that they showed their best form to date in the present season, especially in the first half when they made ringa round their lighter opponents, who were allther- here and there in unavailing efforts to get to the ball.

Here Fleet- wood-Smith is seen struggling with Hutton over two stumps, while Edrich runs off with the third. Hullon succeeded in securing a share of the spoils,
