Cricket 1887

172 CHICXEt A WSEKLY EECOfiD O f THE GAME. June a, 188 ?. KENT v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Particular interest attached to the fixture arranged for the end of last week at Black­ heath, in the first place because the two Counties had not previously met, in the second because no County match had before been played on the ground of the Blackheath Club. Unfortunately neither side had any­ thing like its full strength, and, in addition, the weather was never at any period of the game very favourable. Still, though rain pre­ vented the delivery of a ball on the second day, some fairly good cricket was shown, with a slight advantage to the home team. Kent, who went in first, made only a moderate com­ mencement, and at luncheon time five wickets were down for 88. A useful stand by Mr. A. J.Thomton andPentecost,who puton 61 runsfor the ninth wicket, improved their position materially, and the total was 202 before the innings closed. Mr. Thornton, who went in third wicket down, was in two hours and twenty minutes for his 72 not out, which con­ tained only one chance, when he had got 60. Gloucestershire, who had made 89 for the loss of three wickets on the first day, were able to claim 149 before the fourth fell, thanks to the free hitting of Painter and the steady batting of Mr. W. G. Grace. After their separation, though, Alec Hearne bowled with remarkable success, and no one but Mr. Grace could make any stay, the last six wickets only adding 32 runs. In all Hearne bowled 31 overs for 37 runs and 6 wickets, a capital performance. When Kent went in a second time in a majority of 21 runs, the two elder Hearnes and Hickmott showed good cricket, and at the finish Kent was 176 on with four wickets still to fall. Mr. W. G. Grace was in two hours and twenty minutesfor his 36 not out. In addition he tooktenKent wickets for 108 runs. Messrs. Newnham and Bloor had not previously played for Gloucestershire. K ent .

After a game spoiled to a great extent by the rain, this match, begun at Oxford on Thursday, ended on Saturday in a draw. The University, who went in first, were dismissed for a total of 144, of which 52 were Contributed by Mr. E. H. Buckland, his first appearance in the eleven this season. Rain only allowed little play on the second day, but so far the advantage had been entirely with Lanca­ shire, who, when the game was resumed on Saturday morning, were only twelve runs behind, with seven wiokets still to fall. The ninth wicket of Lancashire fell at 192, but the last two batsmen, Watson and Pilling, proved very difficult to part, and 55were added before the innings closed. Oxford entered on their second innings in a minority of 103 runs, but thanks to the good cricket of Messrs. Rash- leigh, Gresson, Key, and Brain, were able to save the game, being two runs on with six wickets to fall when stumps were finally drawn. Lancashire, as the names of the players will show, was not in its full strength. O x f o r d . First Innings. Mr. J. H . Brain, W atson ................... 7 Mr. F. H.

Middlesex, though well represented, only made a poor show in their first match of the season against Surrey, which occupied Lord’s during the second part of last week, and were beaten by an innings and 29 runs. Losing the toss Surrey had to take the field, but thanks to the effective bowling of Bowley and Lohmann were able to dismiss a good batting side for the small total of 81. In turn Surrey only made a moderate start, and the total at the fall of the fifth wicket was 91. Mr. Roller, who had gone in first wicket down, however, found a valuable partner in Lohmann, and 105 were added before the amateur was caught in the long-field. He had made 118 out of 196 runs in two hours and a half, and there was no actual mistake until he had scored 89. His performance was the more remarkable as he is not at the present time in the best health. It is worthy of remark that this is the first hundred he has obtained at Lord’s. Lohmann, though he had some luck in the attainment of his score of 76, hit well, and his innings was an invaluable one to the side. Rain prevented any play on Friday, and as Middlesex wanted 213 to save the innings, their chances on the slow wicket on Saturday were never very hopeful. As it was, though Messrs. Walker, Stoddart, Vernon, O’Brien, and Webbe all got double figures, the tail was not good enough to lend any real help, and the last five wickets only added thirty runs. Bowley bowled with great success just at the close, taking four wickets at a cost of only 19 runs. M iddlesex . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. A. E .
