The Somersetshire eleven had all the best of this match, begun at Taunton on Thurs­ day, and on Friday afternoon, when the game was finished, it was found they were 168 runs to the good. The chief feature of the cricket was the extraordinary bowling of N ichols in Hampshire’s second innings. In sixty balls he took seven wickets at a cost of only tw o runs a-piece. In the m atch he got nine wickets for 45, and Tyler eight wickets for 86 runs. S omersetshire . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. H. T. Hewett, b Hill... 27 b H ill................. 0 Mr. L. C. H.

On the form shown by the Gloucestershire Eleven during the last few weeks, m ore than ordinary interest was attached to their return match with Notts begun on the Clifton College ground on Thursday last. M r. W . G. Grace, too, was able to play precisely the same team that had won the previous m atch at Nottingham, while Notts had three changes in their eleven. Mr. H . B. D aft and Needham, a left-handed bowler, who had only been once before tried, against M iddlesex at L ord’s early in the year, took the places of Scotton and Richardson, while Carlin kept wicket in lieu of Sherwin, who had been disabled in the previous week. The heavy rain just before the m atch had m ade the wicket soft at the outset, and Gloucestershire, in winning the toss, gained a decided advantage. The ground, indeed, waa all in favour of the bowlers on the first day, and tw enty wickets fell for an aggregate of 167 runs. Gloucestershire were batting tw o hours and five minutes for 77, and Notts were even less successful,occupying the wickets thirty-five m inutes less for 62. Three batsmen got into double figures on each side and the highest scorer proved to be “ the Coroner,” who hit very freely for 27. A ttewell and Needham shared the Gloucestershire wickets, but the best bowling was that of W oof, who in 99 balls got seven of the Notts batsmen at a cost of only 27 runs, a verv fine performance. Later in the day, when Gloucestershire went in a second time, Mr. Radcliffe hit w ith great vigour, scoring 21 of 28 got without the loss of a wicket. Another rainfall on Friday m orning kept the ground slow, and to the end it continued to be in favour of the bowlers. Attewell again proved too m uch for the m ajority of the Gloucestershire eleven, and but for Mr. W . G. Grace, the side would have fared very badly. As it was, the great batsman was in his very best form . G oing in first w icket down, he carried out his bat, having scored 70 out of 121 while he was in. H e played all the bowling of Notts with the greatest confidence for a little over two hours, during which tim e he hardly made a faulty stroke. Comm encing the fourth innings on Friday afternoon with 184 to win, N otts began badly, losing Mr. D ixon with the score only 9. Shrewsbury and Gunn by cautious play added 15, when W oof did a remarkable performance, dism issing Shrews­ bury, Butler and Barnes in one over. Some resolute hitting by Flowers, who scored 34 out of 44 while he was in, gave a little life to the game, but still things went all in favour o f Gloucestershire, and as Mr. D ixon declined to finish that night the night was then uncompleted, eight wickets having fallen for 24 runs. On Saturday morning Notts wanted 62 to win, with two wickets to fall, and as Attewell, Carlin and Needham only added 29, Gloucestershire won with 42 runs to spare. To W oof’s splendid bow ling their victory was in a great measure due. In the match he took fourteen wickets at an average of just under 7 runs. G loucestershibe . First Innings. Second Innings.

T he Gloucestershire eleven opened the Cheltenham W eek auspiciously, and, at the same tim e, brought their County matches to a close in brilliant style on Tuesday w ith an easy viotory over Middlesex. W ith the ex­ ception of the substitution of J. E . W est for Mr. S. W . Scott, M iddlesex had the same team as met Surrey earlier in the week, while Glou­ cestershire had the eleven whioh has been showing such excellent cricket during the last fortnight. For the seventh tim e in succession Mr. W . G. Grace won the toss, and as the wicket, owing to the heavy rain of Sunday, was very soft, his side gained a great advantage in getting first innings. Four of the best Gloucestershire batsmen were dismissed for 56, but M r. Grace and Painter played with great confidence, and their stand for the fifth wicket was the feature of Gloucestershire’s batting. The partnership produced 80 runs, and except that Painter was missed when he had got 31, there wa3 no fault with the play of either. Mr. Grace was seen at his very best on the slow w icket. H e was in just two hours, and in his 57 there was hardly a bad stroke. H e was out the fifth wioket, and as the remaining batsmen were quickly dis­ posed of, the innings closed for an addition of only 28 runs. Though Middlesex in their turn began badly, a useful stand by Mr. O’Brien and R aw lin improved matters considerably, and when play ceased on Monday they were 93 behind w ith four wickets to fall. Middlesex wanted fourteen to save the follow -on on Tuesday, but W oof and Roberts bowled so well that only twelve were added, and in twenty minutes the inniDgs was over. Going in a second time in a m inority of 82, they made even a worse show, and in an hour and twenty-five minutes the side were all out for 59. W oof and Roberts bowled unchanged, and Mr. Stoddart was the only one of the eleven w ho got d>ub!e figures. Gloucester-
