Long Bobin’s name is to be found in the score of the first match printed in “ Scores and Biographies." This match was between Kent and All England, and was said to be the result of a challenge from Lord John F. Sackville on the part of the County of Kent to play A ll England. The game took place on the Artillery Grounds, B unhill Fields, Fins­ bury Square, London, in 1746, and according to Mr. Arthur Haygartli, as­ sembled the first players from all parts. That it was an exciting contest is shown by the fact that Kent only just managed to pull through with one wicket to spare.

A fter some good scoring, quite a novel ex­ perience this season, the return match between these counties, comm enced on the Clifton C ol­ lege ground on M onday, ended yesterday in an easy victory for Gloucestershire, by seven wickets. Both sides were well represented, and some good all-round cricket was witnessed during the three days, under the m ost pleasant auspices of weather. Gloucestershire winning the loss, showed to great advantage, though the wicket was slow from the m orning’s rain, which prevented a comm encem ent until a quarter to two o’clock on the first day. Mr. Pullen played in his best style for seventy, and his runs, which only took him an hour and three quarters, were got without a m is­ take. Mr. Brain, who has not been very suc­ cessful this season, too, hit all round with freedom , and his seventy-nine was also w ith­ out a flaw. The Gloucestershire batsmen had scored at a great rate throughout, and at the end of the first day the total was 279, got in just over three hours and a half. Going in against a heavy sum of 328 on Tuesday m orn­ ing, Sussex fared badly, and were all out soon after lunch for a com paratively poor aggregate of 130. In the follow -on, too, they made a bad start, and with three of the best batsmen out for only 42, their chances of saving the m atch appeared to be very small. Jesse Hide, however, gave Mr. Newham very valu­ able help, and the stand of these tw o batsmen workedN a great alteration in the game. The professional gave two chances directly he came in, but afterwards he hit with great vigour, helping to add 139 of which 68 were from his own bat. W hen play ceased Sussex had scored 197 in their second innings with only four batsmen out, and this number was increased by 147 before the innings closed. This left Gloucestershire 149 to win, and this number was got for the loss of three batsm en, Mr. Pullen again showing fine cricket for 45 not out. G lo u c e s t e r sh ir e . First Innings.
