ACJG. 81, 1898 ORIOKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. 883 THE SCARBOROUGH FESTIVAL. YORKSH IRE v. M.C.C. & G. The Yorkshire fleven added another to their many successes of tbe season this week, winning the opening m atch of the Scarborough Festival on Tuesday in splendid style, with seven wickets to spare. Though a useful all-round side, the eleven collected by Mr. Thornton to.represent M.O.C. and Ground could well have teen improved. On the other hand Yorkshire had quite its full strength, 6 1»ving precisely the same team which beat nssex last week. Though the wicket did not play very well, the earlier batsmen o f M.C.C. were so successful that 113 wa- up with only three wickets down. Ernest Sm ith’s fast bowling towards the last, thoueh, proved very effective, and he did a capital performance, taking seven wickets for only 40 runs. The Yorkshiremen in their turn shaped badly »g»i' St the bowling of Bearne and Spofforth,and the t'-tal was only 62 when the sixth wicket fell. Smith, however, again proved the saviour o f his side, and at tbe end of the day the score was 85 with two wiefeets to fill, i he innings soon cam e to an end on Tuesday morning, and as only one run was added, M C.C. got a u-eful Jead of 76 runs on the first innings. Thtir secord show was, however, very disappointing, and the majority were seen to ga<*h disadvantage against Hirst's fowling that the whole s de were out for the comparatively small score of 118. Hirst, as will re seen, bowled with remarkat le success. In eighteen overs he took soven wickets at a cost of only 38 runs. As the wicket had played it was thought that Yorkshire would have their work cut out to get the 195 wanted to win. As it was, thanks to the exceptionally brilliant perform ance of the Cambridge captain, the issue was soon placed beyond douH . At the outset Sellers and Brown were cheaply dismissed, and Tunnicliffe after making 21. was caught at 73. Jackson, who had from the first hit with great power, found a partner after his own heart in Smith, and the two amateurs scored at a really remarkable pace. The last 65 indeed only took twenty minutes to make, and of there Smith made 40, including seven fours. Of the 195runs, w hich were m ade in under two hours, Jackson, who carried out his rat. had scored no less than 111. Of course he risked a good deal at times, but altogether it was a splendid display of resolute and punishing cricket, and the innings will stand out as one of the very best batting perform ances of the season.

SOMERSETSHIRE v. G LOU CESTERSH IRE. Gloucestershire brought another unsuccessful season to a close at Taunton on Tuesday, w iih a decisive defeat from their neighbours of Somerset. Luck favoured the hom e team in the toss, and the result of M onday’s cricket was a display quite up to their best standard of last year. Hewett and L. Palairet, who have laid the foundation of so many good scores for Somersetshire during the last two or three years, were again seen to the greatest advantage. Hewett scored m uch the faster, and at luncheon-time on M onday 158 had been got with no one out. ^ ewett had then made 107, and alm ost immediately after the resum ption he was out. In less than two hours he had made 112, and his hitting all round showed to perfection his great powers of punishing. Nor can any other prais be accorded to his innings t " an that it wa^ ab­ solutely fieefrom fault. His score, it m ay be added, was made up of twenty 4’s, three 3’-, four 2’s, and fifteen singles. W .G , who got rid of Hewett, also dismissed L Palairet and Hedley in quick succes- s on, getting the three batsm en in seventeen balls. There, though, his successes ended. R. Palairet and w oods added 64 in just over half an hour, and later on Dunlop and Hill, with som e luck, punished the Gl> 'ucestershire bowling so severely that 78 were put on in about thirty minutes, vionday’s cricket closed with the com pletion of Somersetshire’s innings, which had lasted just under five hours, and realised a total of 412. Under the m ost favourable circum stances, Gloucestershire w ould have had a difficult task with such a sum to face. As it was, the batting general y was most, disappointing, and in the course of Tuesday they were dismissed twice for an aggregate of 242. The only batsmen, indeed, to get double figures each tim e were Ferris and nice, and the latter’s second score of 44 was decidedly the best on the side. Tyler bowled with the m ost success for Somersetshire, and he played an im portant part in determining the result, which was in favour of Some setshire by an inn­ ings and 170 runs. S o m e r s e t .

The Nottin ’hamshire eleven were seen to much better advantage than in the m ajority of their m atches this summ er in their Anal eng-igemaat regun at Manchester on Monday. Of lace years Notts h is been very unfortunate at Old Trafford, and hence their success of his week was the more gratifying, even if it cam e at the end of a very disappointing season. Getting first knock on an excellent wicket Notts were at the wi ket the whole o f Monday for a total of 289. Still, this pe form anc*. good as it was as a wh^le, was not w ithout its unsatisfactory features. The credit of it in act rest-d entirely w th three batsmen, and in proof of the inequality of the tat­ ting it need only be stated that eight of the eleven netween them added but vl rui-s. Shrewsbury, Flowers, and Barnes, indeed, made 253 out of 274 got from the bat. Gunn plaved in m s best style for his 45, but his record was eclipsed by b th "hrpwsbury and Flowers, while th'*se two were to­ gether the score wa* increased by 15 as the r e s ’lt of two hou s and a quarter’s cricket. Shrewsbury was batting in all four hours and a quarter without a chance. In tbe firnt match of the se*aon ha had made a hundred, and his 1"1 in the return was a masterly exponition of his u»ual watchful stvle. blowers should have been caught when he had made 46, i^ut otherwise there whs no fault to be found with his 107, the outc me of brilliant and well-timed batting. His innings extended over two hours and fifty minutes, and at one time he hit four 4’8 from an over of Briggs. Though the score was 266 on the fall of the fifth wicket, only -23 were added, M old getting the last three batRmen in five balls w ithout a run. The ear'y bat ing of Lancashire on Tuesday was suggestive of a good m atch Thanks to a fine display of cricket by A. Ward, the total at lunch­ tim e was 156 w iih only four natsmenout. After that Flowers bowled with great success and the latter part of the innings was so dis appointing that the six remaining wicketK fell f >r an addition of only 27 runs. Ward’s ratting was the feature of the innings. Going in first he was seventh out, at 174, and his 82 was without a mistake, hollowing on 106 to the bad, Lancashire again fared badly against the fowling of Flowers and Wee. so much so th it seveu wickets were down for 77. Some f-ee hitting by I'ius'ey, Kemble, and Oakley, however, gave the game a better appe rauce for Lancashire. aud when play ceased oa Tuesday night after an extension o f twenty minutes leyond the tim e fixed, the score was 106 for nine wickets Tinsley n ot out 43. Tinsley increased his score to 54, and wi h his dis­ missal the innings cam e to a close for 183. This left Notts with 59 to win. and though the captain wa3 bowled at fourteen, Shrewsbury and uunn quic’ ly got the balance,leavig their nide victorious by nine wickets. Flowers’ all-round cricket wa>i a great, factor in their success Besides his innings of 107 he took eleven wickets for 128 runs. N o t t s . —First Innings. Mr. J. A.
