Glamorgan's Last Home Match. THE RETURN FIXTURE WITH WILTSHIRE. (Rellult of last match at Chippenham: Glamorgan won by five wickets.] Boisterous weather prevented the second day's play in this match being started to time this morning. Drizzling rain fell between eleven and twelve o'clock, and it was a quarter of an hour after noon when A. M. Miller and C. S. Awdry, who were not out overnight, continued the Wiltshire innings. When stumps were drawn on Monday evening Wiltshire had scored 106 for seven wickets, or 75 runs short of the Glamorgan total of 183 Awdry, who was batting well, had the bad luck to be run out after making 10 runs, and Overton, who followed, also made 10 before he was bowled by Nash. Glamorgan were now practically certain of lead- ing on the first innings' total, which would mean a point in the Minor Counties' Championship. A. M. Miller, realising this, batted with tremendous vigour, and scored freely all round the wicket. Bussell was tried instead of Nash, and H. B. Letcher instead of Osborne, when Wilts required sixteen runs to take the lead. The first ball from Letcher was hit to the boun- dary, and this reduced the number to twelve. One more single was put on, and then Ford, the last man in. put up a ball in the slips off etcb& bowling, and the innings dosed for 173, or ten runs lees than the home county's total. A. M. Miller carried out his bat for a brilliant 43, and it was not his fault that the first innings' defeat was not averted. Five minutes from the luncheon interval Glamorgan started upon their second venture, Herbie Morgan and Norman Riches going in to bat. Overton sent down the first over, and with his first ball knocked Herbie Morgan's bails off, the Penarth man thus securing the unenviable "pair of specs." Russell joined Riches, and the two were together for one run when the bell rang for the Resuming play, Russell monopolised the scoring for about twenty minutes, but could not go beyond the unlucky number of 13 before a very fine catch at the wicket ended his innings. Biches was batting nearly half an hour before he scored his first run, and that atter surviving a confident appeal for a catch at the wicket. Only one more run was his share, and then he played forward to a short-pitched ball from Newman and was bowled. A. B. PeatfieJd and J. H. Brain got together, and A. M. Miller took the ball from Overton. With the second bail of his second over he hit the Glamorgan captain's leg stick out of the ground, the fourth wicket falling for' 53. Bancroft, who was next in, opened with three runs, two for an. overthrow; and after a couple of singles had been added Peatfleld put his leg In front of a ball from Miller and was out for a contribution of 15, in the making of which he had given one chance, which was not accepted by Bllison in the slips. Bancroft) was the next to retire, a ball from Smith beating him easily. Sixty for six wickets made the outlook gloomy for Glamorgan. n. B. Letcher failed to score, a sharp snap at the wicket off Miller's bowling seeding him back. Miller brought on Overton at the plantation end, and took the ball himself from Smith at 67, and the change was effective ia breaking up what had been a useful pne=lVbete:ta: Oobwm, the last ball but one of the WUts' captain's over bowl- ing the Penarth man, who had made 130. Creber failed to stay, being caught by the wicket-keeper after making one. Nine wickets were now down for 4, and W. H. Brain added three more runs before he was bowled by Overton. He had played a most valuable innings for his 16 runs, and had done more than any other batsman on his side to make Glamorgan's posi- tion secure. There remained an hour and three- uarters for play, and Wiltshire wanting 108 runs, had a fair chance of winning. Score:- GLAMORGAN. First innings. Second innings.

I SOMERSET V. MIDDLESEX. [Result of corrMpondiM m?tch in 1M2: Middlesex, 164 Md 134; Somerset, M and 87 (for three wic?eta). Somerset won by seven wickets^] There was a fair attendance when this match started to-dwyat Taunton, and in ten minutes the 100 appeared, the innings having occupied just under an hour. The weather was dull, but the; rain kept off. Bsldam and Douglas rose the spam rgpjftly. Q&g |t Iff Robson came on. vice Braund. Douglas, with his score at 32, drove the ball with terrific force to the new bowler, but the catch was not effected. Although the batsman played with considerable caution, runs came at a free pace, and 150 was signalled in an hour and forty minutes, or in fifty minutes 62 runs had been -added. Six past this total Lewis displaced Cranfield, and in Bobson's next over Douglas was bowled. The outgoing batsman had been in fifty-five minutes for 45. Robson's next ball bowled Bosanqaet. Wells before scoring gave a possible chance in the slips, the ball going high. The next item of interest was the reach- ing of 50 by Beldam, who had batted an hour and a half. With one added to this he fell to a brilliant catch at mid-off by Palafret, who fell all along and took the ball close to the ground. Beldam left at 189. having hit five 4's, two 3's, and seven 2's. Wells had some luck, W besides making some bad strokes, New. ton should have stumped him at 38. The lunch score was 237 for six wickets. In the third over after lunch the Somerset score was passed, and three later Hunt and M'Gregor left. Wells reached his 50 in seventy minutes. Trott hit splendidly, once placing Cranfield over the pavilion for six. Middlesex held a lead of 59 on the first innings. Somerset opelmd their second venture at 3.15 to the bowling of Hunt and Hearne. and runs came slowly. Palairet made a couple of bad strokes at the start, which were very near catches.

Brown, who was not oat 75, and Roberts con- tinued the innings at twelve o'clock, Cox and Tate being the bowiera.

Drawn J There was another big gate at Birmingham when this match was resumed in fine, but windy, weather. The wicket had not improved much, but Lilley, and Quaife, who had come together overnight when things were going badly for Warwickshire, made runs freely for a. time. When they had oarried the total from eleven to sTLilley was bowled by Arnold, who so far had taken aU the wickete. At 41 Chsrtqsworth was run out through a misunderstanding with Quaife. Charles worth hit the ball to Bird at cover, and both batsmen were at Charlesworth's wicket when the other was put down. Quaife appealed to ShaAr as to who was out, -the umpire deciding against Chwlesworth. After Chari. wortVa unlucky dtemisMl JAoorbojse and Quaife came together. Runs were made steadilyi and the 60 went up in an hour and a half. At 61 Moorhouse was caught at the wicket after batting thirty-five minutes. Qua.ife, so far, h1ld batted nearly two hours for 18.

I NEGLECTED BABIE8 DIE Swansea and Pontypridd Women Sentenced. At Swansea Assizes to-day Eiirabeth ETSUQB and Sarah Williams, who had been found guilty of neglecting their infant children at Swansea and Pontypridd reepeotivwty, were put up together to receive sentence. The former, being a. habitual dtroakard, was sen- tenced to be detained for twelve months in a home for inebxiates. The latter the Judge said he had no power to deal with in that way, and he thought tohat, in addition to what she had suffered, fourteen days' hard labour would meet her case. He remarked that in both cases the babies had died, and, althongh the charge of manslaughter had not been pre- ferred, they would both carry with them through life the reflection that they had acce- lerated the deaths of their thudren by their cmdmt.

SERtOUS ASSAULT ON A WIFt At Glamorgan Assizes tcy-day Robert Thomas pleaded guilty to unlawfully wound- ing his wife, Catherine Thomas, by kicking her in a dangerous part of the body. Mr. L. N.

Mr. Williams stated that the prisoner was greatly annoyed at his wife having got drunk, instead of cooking his dinner, and he kicked her, without intending to do her real injury.¡ Sb, however, bled teriongy, &nd he I.:t her on the bed. They )uA been living together again since the police-ooart proceeding*. They had four children.-Ille jury were sworn in order to return, a formal verdict of not guilty of intent, as the Crown did not tender evidence on the charge, and to return a verdict of unlawful wounding, on prisoneeo own plea, there being no such count in the indictment.—The prisoner was sentenced to twelve days' hard labour, which means that he will be discharged in a couple of days.
