M IDDLESEX v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. After suffering a decisive defeat at the hanas of Surrey, in the first half of the week, the Middlesex Eleven tried conclusions with Gloucestershire at Lord’s on Thursday last, and with better success. Though on a good hard wicket Gloucestershire were thought to have gained a considerable advantage in winning the toss, as events proved, they failed to make any prolonged stand, and were dis- missed in two Jiours for the small total of 128, At one time, indeed, the brothers Grace, Mr Cranston, and Mr Radcliffe were out for 14 runs, and it was only the fearless hitting of Painter and the careful cricket of Mr. Sains­ bury that made the total at all respectable. Painter has often been seen to great advantage when matters are going badly with his side, and on this occasion he scored 61 in as many minutes, though with his score at 46 he ought to have been out twice. Mr. Sainsbury stayed with him while 83 runs were added. At lunch time the score was 121 for seven wickets, and afterwards three men were disposed of for seven runs. J. T. Hearne, who is bowling so finely this season, secured five wickets at a cost of under 8 runs each, while Mr. Nepean took four for 44. Gloucestershire were heavily handicapped by the absence of both Woof (unable to get leave from Cheltenham College) and Roberts (who is suffering from influenza). In their absence Dr. W . G. Grace and Green­ way, a fast risjht hand bowler who was tried twice last year, shared the attack when Middlesex went in. Messrs. Webbe and Stoddart were quickly dismissed, but on Mr. Johnston and Mr. Nepean getting together the bowling was completely collared. The first- named as usual did most of the hitting, and in all the pair stayed together for just upon two hours, in which time the score was increased by 156 runs, of which Johnston contributed 111. This will provethe brilliancy of his hitting, which was however marred by two chanoes at 16 and 30 frespeotively. Batting in quite a different style, Mr. Nepean stayed in over two hours and a half for 49, a praiseworthy and useful display of defensive crioket. The only other noteworthy incidents of the innings were the stand made by Hearne and Mr. Thesiger, who added 33 runs for the ninth partnership, and the fine catch by Mr. Cran­ ston at long on which ended the innings. Mr. W. G. Grace bowled with remarkable success, taking seven wickets for 97 runs. In a minority of 127, the brothers Grace opened Gloucestershire’s second innings on Friday morning, and E. M. quickly hit up 29 out of 38 in twenty-five minutes. With Mr. Radcliffe and his Captain together runs were put on apace, till W . G.’s innings, in which he had played sterling cricket for 38, was terminated by a neat piece of stumping. Mr. Cranston failed to get a run for the second time in the match, and ,Painter foolishly ran himself out when ^apparently well set. While Mr* Rad­ cliffe, who hit with quite his old vigour, and Mr. Pullen were in the innings was saved, and as there were then still half the wickets in hand, there was a fair chance that Middlesex might have to go in to make a fairly good sum. As it was the latter batsmen again did little and the innings closed for 173, a smaller total than at one time seemed likely. Mr. Radoliffe was the highest scorer on the side, and his 47, the outcome of an hour and twenty minutes’ batting, was in every way deserving of praise. With only 47 runs to win, Middlesex lost two good batsmen before the winning hit was made, the game ending on Friday afternoon in their favour, with eight wickets to spare. Dr. W. G. Grace’s bowling record for the match was nine wickets for 124 runs Mr. H. Menzies, of Jesus Col­ lege, Cambridge, made a very creditable first appearance for Middlesex as wicket-keeper.
