(Received July 21, 10 30 a.m.) Bain continuing, the All England match had to be finally abandoned, and for the same reason the Somersetshire match has been declared off. The London news* papers generally express great disappoint* mont at the test match not being finished. ' The *' Daily News " says a keener match is scarcely likely to be seen this summer. It praises Graham's sound and brilliant cricket. "Spotting Life" commends the remarkable play of Graham and Gregory, and especially their daring running of sharp singles.
