Taunton.

Last night another cable arriv ed stating that in the second innings Hobbs made another century thereby beating two re- cords which had stood for sene years.

By a coincidence Hobba's scores in both innings were 101. the second time "not out." This, of course, means two separate hun- dreds in one match; earlier in the season. Hobbs obtained two cen-? turies in one match (for Surrey against Cambridge University) and the only other occasion he has done this was some years ago. Incidents in his career were given at considerable length in last night's "China Mail."

The latest cables, from Reuter, read:-

London. August 18.

At Taunton Hobbs, in the second innings against Somer- set, made a hundred not out. [Note: As will be seen in the results. Hobbs's score was actual- ly 101 not out when play ceased and victory rested with his side.] At Taunton, although the crowd was by no means so large. as yesterday, there were very enthusiastic scenes.

Spectators surged to the pavilion and cheered con- tinuously for a quarter of an hour and insisted on a speech in which Hobbs said he

was happy indeed to have achieved a lifelong ambition in beating Dr. W. G. Grace's record.

Incidentally, Hobbs was mainly responsible for Surrey's victory. Although Reuter does not say 30, Surrey appear to bave had a ruce with the clock, Hobbs, Sandham defeated at the close. and "Mr. Extras" all being un-
