The Gloucestershire eleven, despite the sensa­ tional innings of Middlesex,succeeded in drawing this return match at Clifton on Saturday last. In 1879 on the same ground Middlesex made a huge total of 476, but they surpassed even this performance last week. Mr. A. J. Webbe, who opened the batting with Mr. I. D. Walker, w bowled at eight; but the latter and Hon. Alfred Lyttelton soon collared the Gloucestershire bowl­ ing, and they scored at a rate unparalleled in first-class cricket. In an hour-and three-quarters they put on 226 runs, and whenMr. Walker was at last caught at long-off the score had been in creased by 324 runs. This is the longest stand ever made by two ba'smen in a first-class match. Mr. Walker ought to have been stumped twice and caught in the long-field once, but his 145 was a fine display of all - round hitting Mr. Lyttelton gave two chances in his 181. His batting, though, showed all the powerwhich has alwaysmarkedhis play, and his performance was the more noteworthy as he had only previously taken part in two big matches this season. The innings ultimately reached 537, the largest total recorded this summer in a county match, with the exception of Surrey’s 650 against Hants, at theOval. Gloucestershirehad to followonwith an enormous balance of 348 against them, and their second innings was begun at 12-30 on Saturday. With five of their best wickets down for 75 a defeat seemed certain, but Messrs. W. G. Grace and Gilbert then altered the outlook, and they put on 95 during their stay. Mr. Page, the last batsman, came in ten minutes before time, but Mr. Fairbanks and he kept up their wickets till the finish, and the match was drawn, Glouces­ tershire being 114 behind with a wicket to fall. Messrs. Grace and Gilbert played very fine cricket, and the former’s 85 was free from a mistake. Mr. Townsend’s “ lobs” proved very effective for Gloucestershire. Score and analysis:— . M iddlesex .

The Kentish eleven, though fairly represent­ ative, made a poor show in their return matcli with Yorkshire, at Gravesend, on Thursday and Friday. The only noteworthy feature, indeed, on their side was the brilliant batting of Lord Harris. The Kentish captain has done some excellent performances for his county, but few, if any, that surpass his record in this match. In their two hands the Kent eleven secured 277 runs from the bat, and of these 159 were made by Lord Harris. In the first he carried his bat through the innings, scoring 80. out of 134 from the bat in two hours and a quarter. When he went in a second time his hitting was even more determined, and when he was out at 105 he had scored 79 in the surprisingly short time of an hour and five minutes. Lockwood’s batting, though, for Yorkshire, was even more *ensational. He went in with the score at 52 for three wickets and was seventh out with the score at 349. Of the 297 obtained during his stay he had contributed no less than 208. He was at the wickets as near as can be computed four hours and a quarter, and his long score was got without a chance—a wonderful feat for a cricketer who has played for his county for fifteen years. His 208 is the highest individual contribution in first-class matches this season. Yorkshire, who were without Peel, won by an innings and 94 runs. In the first innings the last seven Kentish wickets only added 18, and in the second 45 runs. Ulyett, b W ootton.. .. 12 Hall, b Hearne .. ..3 4 Hon. M.B.
