Cricket 1886

180 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. MAY 20,1886. his example was followed by Gilbert, who went in first and carried out his bat for 40 out of an aggregate of 110. Though only moder­ ately successful against Surrey in the Easter week at the Oval, he has been already this season credited with several large scores in minor matches. Owing to circumstances he was recently obliged to give up his posi­ tion as an amateur, and take to cricket regu­ larly as a profession, and, indeed, his first appearance in his new character was on Easter Monday at the Oval, the same day on which the prefix of “ Mr. ” was dropped for the first time by a well-known Surrey Cricketer, E. J. Diver. W. It. Gilbert’s services to Gloucestershire have been very valuable. As he watches the ball carefully, his is a very difficult wicket to get. He often gets runs when other batsmen fail, and though he has great patience he can punish loose bowling. He bowls slow round, and though his delivery is easy, and apparently very simple, he has often proved very effective as a change. He is a reliable field, and at point in particular much above the average. As an all-round player he is certainly entitled to a prominent position among cricketers. Our portrait is from a photograph by Messrs C. Hawkins and Co. of Brighton. --------- C ricket of next Thursday will contain a Portrait and Biography of Mr. J. W.

VICTORIA (SAFFRON WALDEN). Played at Littlebury on May 10. M r . R. J. B u r r e ll ’ s XI. Owing to continuous rain on Friday, play iu this annual trial match was limited to one day, Saturday. The sides, captained by Messrs. Bainbridge and Turner respectively, included several notable Public School cricketers of 1885, notably Messrs. Thomas, Watson-, Miles, Martineau, Lee-Smith, Grant, and Butler, captains respectively of Eton, Winchester, Shrewsbury, Uppingham, Rossall, Fettes, and Harrow, with among others, Messrs. Duncan, Meyrick-Jones, whose hitting was of great useto Marlborough last year, and Hayhurst, the fast bowler of the same team. During the day 276 runs were got for 26wickets. Mr. Bainbridge’s side began badly, and nine wickets were down for 45 runs. Messrs. Meyrick-Jones and McKinnon, however, altered the aspect of the game altogether, and the former, who hit with great freedom, contributed 58 out of 106 from the bat. Messrs. Martineau and Lee-Smith, who opened the batting for Mr. Turner’s side, showed good cricket. The score was 66 for the first wicket, but the rest did little, and the innings closed for an addition of 55 runs. The most effective bowlers were Messrs. Clark (left hand slow), who took nine wickets for 62 runs Martineau (slow round), Hayhurst (fast round), and Hutson. The match was drawn. M r . H. B ain bridge ’ s S id e . First Innings.
