M indful of the ill-success which had attended them through the lack of bowling in the m atch against Sussex, the Gloucestershire eleven which opposed Lancashire on the Clifton CollegeGround, at the end of last week, was much stronger in attack. Roberts, who had been absent owing to a sprain, re*appeared, and a place was also found for Murch. The return of the former, too, was of great assistance to the side, and so effective did he prove on a wicket seriously affected by recent rains, that in two hours and a quarter with Mr. Ferris he succeeded in getting rid of Lancashire for the small total of 69. Of this sum, too, three batsm en contributed 46, and four of the eleven failed to score. Roterts, who has not been very successful, on this occasion bowled with remark­ able results. His twenty-seven overs were deli­ vered for 30 runs, and o f the seven batsmen he dismissed five—and the five best on the side—were bowled. Gloucestershire found the ground no easier when they went in, and the innings, which lasted ten minutes longer than that of Lancashire, occupied the rest of Thursday. In this time 36 m ore runs were made, and it waa noteworthy that every one of the eleven scored. The chief feature of the batting was the steady cricket of the Oxonian, Mr. Rice, who was in for an hour and a quarter, and was not out at the finish, after contri outing 21 of the last 78. On Friday the ground had recovered considerably, and in spite of a bad start, Lancashire were seen to m uch better ad­ vantage on an improving wicket. The credit of the day’ s cricket rested entirely with Sugg and Smith. The former, abandoning his usual character as a free hitter, played as steadily as his partner, and their stand waa a lengthy one. W hile they were together 154 runs were added in a little over two hours and a half, and their cricket, if a trifle slow, was by no m eans lacking in in­ terest. Smith was seen at his best, but the most notable incident of the day was the watchful play of Sugg. He was in three hours and ten minutes for his 89, and with the exception of two difficult chances there was nothing to detract from the merit of a very creditable performance. On Friday night Lancashire had scored 287 for six wickets, and as rain prevented a resum ption till late on the following afternoon Mr. Kemble, who captained tho eleven in the absence of Mr. Cros­ field, determined to close the innings. Play did not, however, begin till ten minutes past four o’clock, so that there only remained an hour and fifiy m in­ utes to dismiss the Gloucestershire eleven. The comm encem eut was inauspicious, as with only seven scored Messrs. E. M. Grace and Rice were both caught. Roberts, w ho cam e next, went in solely for keeping up his wicket, and this policy he carried out successfully, stopping in over half- an-hour for four runs. Mr. Ferris only came in to fall to Mold, and then there seemed to be just an outside chance that Lancashire might, after all, be successful. Mr. Radcliffe, however, played with great judgment, and notwithstanding several chances, Mr. W. G. Grace and he played out time, thus saving the match for their side. At the finish Gloucestershire wanted 202 to win with six wickets to fall. Briggs and Mold, it will be seen, bowled with great success for Lancashire. L an c a sh ir e . First Innings. A.

The Somersetshire Eleven added another to their excellent perform ances of the last m onth at Sheffield, on Friday, when they defeated York­ shire with 87 runs to spare. The ground at Bramall Lane this season has not been playing at all well, and the ball from the first got up dangerously. Under such conditions, with bowlers like Messrs. Smith and Jackson on the one side, Mr. W oods, Mr. Hedley, and Nichols on the other, batsmen, it will be readily understood, did not have a particularly pleasant time. As a consequence, the scoring waa not at all up to the average. On Thursday, at all events, by half past four o ’clock an innings had been com pleted on each side, with only two individual scores of over 20 runs. Curiously enough, too, the m ost suc­ cessful batsman on each side proved to be the m ost effective bowler, Mr. F. S. Jackson, who, fortunately for Yorkshire, had recovered suffi­ ciently from his recent injury to be able to play, had rather the better of the comparison with Mr. Hedley. His bowling, indeed, was singularly good for he did not go on to bowl till Somersetshire’s total was 28. Going in on Thursday evening with an hour and ten minutes to play Somersetshire made a bad start. Though they lost Mr. Hewett at nineteen, however, Messrs. Palairet and Challen improved the aspect of the game materially, and by excellent cricket they had raised the score to 84 before the end of the day. On Friday morning Mr. Palairet waa soon out, and though Mr. Challen played well for a time, when the fifth wicket fell the total was only 130. Some determined hitting by fldr. W oods, however, turned the scale again in favour of Somerset, and the second half of the innings realised 118 runs. Mr. W oods contributed 76 out of 117 made during his stay, and his hitting all-round was as well-timed as it was fearless. He was batting for less than an hour and a half, and except for two difficult chances there was no m is­ take. Yorkshire had no easy task in going in for a fourth innings with 218 to win, and with the ball getting up very dangerously it never looked as if they would succeed. Still the display on the whole was creditable. No less than seven members of the eleven got double figures, but Somerset­ shire had the m atch in hand, and when the tenth wicket fell the score was only 125. Nichols and Tyler this time were the successful bowlers, and their figures were very good. Mr. Jackson, though, had the best record in bowling. His nine wickets were got at a cost of just over ten runs a-piece. S om ersetsh ire . First Innings. Mr. L. C. H. Palairet, c Hunter, b Smith ........... Mr. H. T.
