Cricket 1884

3G2 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME-, a u g . 21, i884. NOTTS v. MIDDLESEX. The Nottinghamshire eleven brought a most successful season to a brilliant close at Nattingham on Saturday, when they de­ feated a strongish team of Middlesex by an innings and 91 runs. Messrs. C. T. Studd and A. P. Lucas wero unable to play, but otherwise the Southerners were in their full strength. Mr. I. D. Walker won the toss for Middlesex, and hi3 batting was the fea­ ture of the first day’s cricket. He was at the wickets for three hours and a half, and his eighty was a sound and excellent display without a chance. The Middlesex innings closed soon after five o’clock for 211, and at 6. CONotts had scored 35 for the loss of one of its best batsmen—Shrewsbury. On Fri­ day tbe Middlesex bowling was sorely taxed, and nine of the eleven tried their hands with the ball Scotton gave another exhibition of extraordinary patience, and he was in for three hours and fifty minutes, scoring 6G of 183 made at the fall of the sixth wicket. At 22-1 Attewell joined Gunn, and by splendid cricket the two professionals had raised the total to 383, when the former was caught at slip just as stumps were drawn. He had made 84 of 159 added during the part­ nership. On Saturday morning Gunn helped to raise the score to 400 before he at last played on. His innings of 138 is the highest he has ever played for Notts, and it was in every sense a grand performance. There was not a blemish of any kind in his batting, but tbe best feature was his driving, which was very clean and powerful. The wicket did not play at all wtll when Mid­ dlesex went in a second time on Saturday afternoon. They wanted 196 to save an inning* defeat, but Shaw, helped by the ground, bowled with such success that the result was soon placed out of doubt, and the Nottingham captain was credited with five wickets at a cost of only twenty three runs. A collection was made in the pavilion on Thursday for Scotton in appreciation of his brilliant performance* in the match between England and Australia at the Oval, and the sum of ten pounds was given to him. Of the ten matches played by Notts this season nine have been won, and one (the return with Surrey at the Ova!) drawn certainly in their favour. M id d l e s e x . First Inning’. Sa:cnJ Innings.

The .home team, who won the toss, made a creditable total of 205, though they were mainly indebted for their show to one batsman. Mr. Mackinnon, indeed, con­ tributed 102 out of 195 scored from the bat, a great performance against Yorkshire bowl­ ing. He was at the wickets a little over three hours, and his play was characterised by great freedom throughout. His only mistake was a possible chance to long-on when he had scored 67. Yorkshire began batting at 5.30 011 the first day, and Ulyett and Bates hit with such vigour that in the hour that remained 99 runs were scored without the loss of a wicket. On resuming Ulyett soon played on, but Bates staved until 176 had been totalled, when he was stumped, having contributed 97 by free hit­ ting. Grimshaw, Peel, Snowden, and Rawlin subsequently all batted well, and when the tenth wicket fell Yorkshire were 133 ahead. When Kent went in a second time, Mr. Mackinnon again played good cricket, but except Lord Harris no one one else did very much against the bowling of Ulyett and Emmett, and Yorkshire had only to go in to get four to win. These were got by Hunter and Harris, though the latter was missed at the wicket. In the first innings of Kent Peate took eight wickets for 63 runs. K en t .

LANCASHIRE. The Gloucestershire eleven gained their first victory of the season at Clifton on Satur­ day, when they beat Lancashire after a most exciting finish with only seven runs to spare. In the absence of Mr. A. G. Steel and Cross- land, who recently, we believed, sprained his arm,Lancashire had not its full strength. On the other hand, though, neither Me?srs. Gilbert, who dislocated his finger in the match against the Australians a week before, nor Moberly were able to assist Gloucestershire. Lancashi e whu won the toss, were dismissed for 189. but thanks to the effective bowling of Barlow and Watson, this was sufficient to give them a lead of 87 on the first innings. In the follow-on* however, Gloucestershire completely altered the aspect of the game, and the Lancashire bowling was severely punished. Painter hit brilliantly, and at one time, while he was in with Mr. Pullen, the scoring was so fast that 100 runs were got in the hour. Painter was missed wheu he had reached 108 by Mr. Hornby at deep mid-off, but his 116 was a grand display with only this mistake. He was at the wickets only two hours and a quarter, and in proof of the character of his hitting it need only bo added that his figures consisted of fourteen fours, ten threes, eight twos, and only four­ teen singles. Mr. Pullen also played admir­ able cricket for his 74, and with the help of a very well got 43 of Mr. W. G. Grace the score at the finish of the second day had reached289—or 202 on—with onlyfive wijkets down. When play was, however, resumtd on Saturday morning the Gloucestershire tail did little against the bowling of Barlow
