A n y ch a n ce o f G loucestershire m aking a g ° 5 fight w ith Y orkshire, at H uddersfield, at the o f last w eek w as destroyed b y th e con d ition of w icket. H eavy rain fall ju st previously caused the g rou n d to b e so ft even at the outset, and the superiority o f Y orkshire’s bow ling, particu larly as th e p itch w as, caused th e gam e to go all in their favour. T h e ch oice o f innings, too, w as an ad­ vantage fo r the Y orkshirem en, and th ou gh they lo st six o f th e best b atsm en fo r 71, th e total ulti­ m a tely reach ed th e very respectable sum of 162.

G loucestershire in their turn fared very bad ly w hen they w ent in to bat. P eel fou n d th e pitch exactly to his liking, and the on ly op p ositi n o f any im p orta n ce cam e from the G loucestershire captain . W .G . w as in forty-five m inu tes fo r his nineteen, bu t the oth er ten on ly added forty runs betw een them , and in a little over an h ou r and a h a lf th e w hole side had been dism issed fo r 74, o f w h ich fifteen w ere extras. P eel had a rem arkable analysis. In seventeen overs h e dism issed six b atsm en fo r on ly 27 runs. B ein g 88 behind, G loucestershire had to follow on, and in the h a lf h ou r th a t rem ained on T h rsday n igh t lost tw o w ickets fo r fourteen. O n F riday m orn in g the b a ll travelled a little m ore quickly, W .G . and R ice had pu t on 43 w hen th e form er w as ou t after an h ou r’s pla y fo r an exceedingly w ell pla yed score o f 31. A fter his retirem ent, though R ice w as in altogether tw o hours and a quarter fo r his 27, the batting generally w as o f the tam est, a n d th e last seven w ick ets w ere dism issed fo r an addition o f on ly 34 runs. T h is left Y orkshire w ith fou r to w in, and as H unter got these in on e h it G lou cestersh ire w ere beaten before lu n ch on F rid a y by ten w ickets.
