The Nottinghamshire eleven brought their home matches of this season to a brilliant con­ clusion at Nottingham on Saturday, winning their return against Sussex by no less than an innings and 204 runs. Quaife and Tester,who commenced the batting, put on 68 for the first wicket of Sussex, but later on, though the ground was in excellent condition, Attewell bowled with marked success, and the total after all only reached 140. The Sussex bowlers had a bad time of it when Notts went in to bat, and the innings lasted from .4.45 on Thursday to 1.50 on Saturday afternoon. It would, too, have been of much longer dura­ tion had the later batsmen not sacrificed their wickets, the last six of the side only adding 22 runs. Though rain twice interrupted the game on .Friday the wieket was never difficulty and fiomebrilliantbattingwasshownbyShrewsbury and Gunn. These two professionals put on 181 runs, Shrewsbury, who, with Mr. Dixon, had made 109 for the first wicket, being second out with the total at 290. He had been alto­ gether five hours and a quarter at the wickets for his 135, his sixth score of three figures for Notts this season. He gave one hard chance early in his innings, but otherwise there was nothing like a mistake. Gunn and Barnes made another long stand, and while they were together the score at one time was 529 with only thrje batsmen out. At this figure Barnes, who had been batting just under three hours, was oaught, having made 120 in his very best style. Gunn, who oontinued to play Bplendid cricket, maintained his position while the other batsmen got out, carrvinff out hi* |bftt for 205. Chin# was batting in all for nearly seven hours and a-half, and there was, as far as we could see, not an easy chance in a remarkably fine innings. This is the highest score he has made in an important fixture, and his brilliant success will be heard of with pleasure by all cricketers. When Sussex went in a second time three hours and three quarters were left for play, but except for some goodcricket by Quaife and Messrs. Newbam, Smith and Dudney there was no noteworthy feature, and Notts won with a little time to spare. S u s se x . First Innings. Second Innings. W.

KENT. After three days of capital all-round cricket, this, the last match of the Gloucestershire season, begun at Clifton on Thursday, ended in a drawn game. Though rain considerably curtailed the time for play on Friday, the scoring was above the average, and altogether 776 runs were made with only twenty w7ickets down, an average of over 35. Mr. W. G. Grace’s remarkable performance in scoring- a hundred in each innings was, of course, the feature of the match. On the first day wdth his brother he made 127 before a wicket fell, and when he was out the total was 185, of which he had contributed 101, with only one very difficult chance quite early in his innings. When he went in a second time he playedwith all his old freedom, and he was successful in reaching his hundred just before the finish, being not out with 103 of a total of 182 (for two wickets) to his credit. Mr. Grace’s feat has, it is worthy of remark, only been twice before accomplished in an important fixture. In 1817, W. Lambert, of Surrey, playing for Sussex v. Epsom at Lord’s, scored 107 not out, and 157, and this until 1868, when Mr. Grace himself made 130 and 102 not out for the South v. the North of the Thames at Canterbury, was the only instance of the kind —that is, in contests of any importance. Messrs. E. M. Grace and Page were both seen to great advantage in Gloucestershire’s first innings, and the latter’s 61 not out was a particularly good innings without a mistake. Mr. Rashleigh and Frank Hearne put on 71 runs before the first Kentish wicket fell, and later on Messrs. Patterson, Tonge and Kemp scored well. Mr. Rashleigh only made one mistake in an admirable innings of 108, and Mr. Patterson’s batting was of equally high quality, his 49 being without a flaw of any kind. At the close, the Gloucestershire eleven were 142 runs on with only two batsmen out, so that they finished their season in a most satisfactory fashion. G l o u c e s t e r sh ir e . First Innings.
