Cricket 1887

28, 1887. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OE THE GAME. 295 LANCASHIRE v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Though Gloucestershire made a very pro­ mising start, Lancashire had the best of this match, begun at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Thursday, after the first stage, and were left early on Saturday afternoon with an easy win by an innings and 98 runs. The brothers Grace, who commenced the batting, were both in good form, and the Gloucestershire total was 75 before W. G. was caught. E. M. continued to bat well, and was not out till the score reached 200. He was nearly three hours and a quarter at the wickets in the attainment of his 84, in which there was no flaw of any kind. Mr. Townsend hit in his best style for his 56, but none of the later batsmen, except Mr. Francis, did anything, and the innings after all only reached 248, Lancashire, who went towards the close of Thursday,were in all the second day, stumps being drawn when the tenth wicket fell. "Watson alone of the eleven failed to get double figures, and some very good cricket was shown particularly by Mr.Hornby,Briggs,and Messrs. Eccles and Jowett. Mr. Hornby was the chief scorer with 91, and though he should have been caught twice after he had got fifty, his innings,whichwas of overthree hours’duration, was an excellent one. Briggs’ hitting, too,was of abrilliant character. He was only fifty-five minutes at the wickets, in the attainment of his score of 05. Gloucestershire, who went in a second time on Saturday morning in a minority of 196, made a disappointing show. The Graces, and Messrs. Radcliffe and Pullen were the only one3 who made any stand against the bowling of Briggs andWatson, and the former in particular was so effective that the total fell short of a hundred by two runs. Mr. Croome, who had received an injury to his neck through falling against the iron railings which surround the ground, was not able to go in, so Gloucestershire only batted ten in the second innings.
