MIDDLESEX SHOULD HAVE NO FEAR AS TO PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE MATCHES BY "PILAT"

The form shown by Middlesex this season has been most Winning the two opening remarkable for its ups and downs games in a most impressive manner, but dropping the next thrse in succession, they now come back strongly to hand out to the once mach-fancied Kwong Wah a sound beating by the wide margin of seven goals to two.
