F ollow in g u p their success over Som ersetshire atM anohester, the L ancashire eleven brought last w eek to a sa tisfactory close on Saturday, w ith an easy victory over G loucestershire at B ristol. In spite of the recen t rain s the w icket w as b y n o m eans difficult a t the outset, and L ancashire, w ho w on the toss, were in tw o h ou rs and three- quarters for 168. T h e first partnership produced 40 runs, but th e b est stand o f the ion in gs w as b y Briggs and Faker, w ho pu t on 49 fo r the sixth w icket by brigh t and attractive cricket in a little over half-an-hour. W hen G loucestershire w ent in, W .G . w as in particularly good form . Still, runs w ere n ot easy fro get, and a lth ou gh W .G . m ade 49 out of 62 in an hour and forty m inutes w ithout a ch a n ce, b y the end o f th3 day six batsm en h a d been dism issed fo r S2. O i the follow ing m orning, M old and B riggs bow led w ith great effect, so m uch so th a t in h a lf an hour the rem aining w ickets fell fo r an addition o f only 21 runs. T h e com p letion o f an innings had given L ancashire a usefu l advantage of 55 runs, aud as M r.M cL aren andW ard w ere in th eir very best form , this w as nearly increased b y a hundred before they w ere separated. In an h ou r and a h a lf 96 w ere scored, and o f these the am ateur’s share w as 68, m ade w ith ou t a m istake. A fter lu ncheon Sugg hit aw'ay in th e m ost vigorous style, m aking 50 out o f 68 in fifteen h its b efore he w as out. M eanw hile W ard had fe e n playing careful and ju diciou s cricket, and w ith useful assistance from Sm ith, the score w a* raised to 222 b efore th e third w icket fell. A fter Sm ith’s dism issal a rem ark­ able change cam e over the gam e. W ard, w ho had been in altogether three hours and fo rty m inutes, w as sixth ou t at 266. H e gave n o chance during his lon g innings, and as a display o f w atchful crick et his 1C9 aas w orthy o f the highest praise. '1 he later batsm en m ade only a p oor show , and the last seven w ickets w ere secured fo r an addition of only 58 runs. W ith 336 to w in, G loucestershire m ade a very bad start,losingW .G ..

T he Surrey el ven were n ot seen to a dvantage in their m atch again st C atford B ridge last year, and in the m atch begun on M onday, they only f«»red a trifle better. Ow ing to the heavy rain of Sunday night the ground w as n ot voted fit fo r a start tilt considerably past tw o o ’clo ck on M on­ day, and as n o m ore play took p la ce after h a lf­ past fou r o ’clo ck from the sam e cause the cricket w as lim ited to a little under tw o hours. In this tim e K ent, w ho w ere fortunate enough to w in the toss, m ade 108 fo r th e loss o f nine w ickets. U nder th e cir­ cum stances the batting w as rather slow , and the only fe itu re w as the really capital innings o f Mr. v* ilson. On T uesday m orning, the one rem aining w icket o f K ent w as soon secured, M artin being bow led fo r an addition o f five runs. A b el and L ock w ood , w h o began the batting fo r Surrey, were evidently im pressed w ith the necessity of m aking as m any runs as possible before the w icket got really diflicult.T hey started w ell,m aking 30 for the first w ick et,' f w hich A b el’s share w as 21. T his early prom ise, how ever, w as in n o w ay sustained. A bel stayed till th e score w as 50, but excepting his excellent score o f 30, no one b u t H ayw ard got double figures, and w hen the tenth w icket fell the total w as 77. M artin and W alter H earoe b ow led unchanged, and the form er had again exceptionally fine figures, seven w ickets for 46 runs. K ent had thus a lead o f 35 runs, one o f the greatest value as the wicket; w as. T his tim e th ey began w ell, and though A lec H earne w as bow led at 22, w hen the secon d w icket fell the total w as 33, o f w hich Mr. M ason’s share w as 23, a m ost useful innings. F ou r w ickets w ere dow n for 48, w hen M r. K now les join ed Mr. W ilsoD, 8nd their stand had a very im p orta n t influence on the result. In a little over an hour the tw o am ateurs pu t on 53 runs, and b y really g ood sound cricket. Mr. W ilson ’s 42 w as again a very fine dis­ play o f batting. A fter their separation Lockw rood bow led w ith considerable success, and, w hen rain stopped play, K ent had lost, as on the previous night in the first innings, nine batsm en, and for m uch the sam e num ber o f runs. Mr. K now les w as in an hour and forty m inu tes fo r his adm ir­ able 32. H e pla yed one o f R ich a rd son ’s on to his w icket w ithout rem oving the bai s w hen h e had m ade 17, it m ay be added. Y esterday m orning W alter H earne cam e in on ly to be caught at the w icket, and the innings closed fo r the addition of one run. L ock w ood took eight w ickets, as w ill be seen, fo r 34 runs. W ith 148 runs to w in Surrey had a particularly difficult task before them . As it w as, B rockw ell and A^el alone offered any very seu ou s resistance, and the tenth w icket fell for 91, leaving K ent w ith the v ictory by 57 runs. W a lter Hearne'S share in their success w ill b e gathered from his bow ling figures. Iu th e m atch he took thirteen w ickets fo r 98 runs. K e n t .

S O M E R S E T S H IR E v. L A N C A S H IR E T he L ancashire e’even, w ho had beaten Som er­ setshire at O ld T rafford a w eek before in a day, appeared on M onday at T au n ton to com m ence their return m atch. O w ing to heavy rain overnight and in th e early m orning, a start cou ld n ot be m ade on M onday till a quarter to three o ’clock . E ven then the w icket w as hardly fit, and under the disadvantage o f a w et grou n d and ball. Som er­ setshire fared very la d ly . M r. JMcLaten w as ou t at 33, but w ith bugg and W ard together, the S om ersetshire bow lers w ere freely punished. Sugg’s h ittin g w as rem arkable. H e m ade tw eoty runs off on e over o f i yler, and in an hour and fifty m inutes com p leted his hundred. W a rd’s partner­ ship w ith S ugg had produ ced 151 runs in tw o hours, and o f the total o f 166 W ard’s share w as 64, w ith ou t the vestige o f a chance. W ith Sm ith in, Sugg continued to h it away w ith unabated vigour, and w hen rain, w ich had le e n falling slightly fo r som e tim e, finally stopped play ju st b efore six o ’clock , he w as still in w ith 157 ou t of 260 fo r tw o w ickets to his credit. H e had been batting tw o hours and three-quarters, and as an exhibition o f fearless and pow erfu l hitting, it was up to the very best standard. H is score, it m ay te added, in clu ded fi-e sixes. Rain prevented any play on Tuesday, and as th e L ancashire ca pta in closed his innings first th in g yesterday, Som erset­ shire h ad to go in against a total o f 260. A s it was, the overnight rain prevented a start till ja st after one o ’clock , and at lu n ch eon tim e the score show ed 45 fo r tw o w ickets. M essrs. F ow ler and L. P alairet played w ith great ju dgm en t on the resum ption, and 23 w ere added before the form er, w hose 37 w as an in valuable innings, played on. M r. H ill q u ickly knocked up 19, and the total w as 119 fo r six w ickets w hen rain stop ped play ju st after fou r o ’clock . F ifty m inutes elapsed before a nother t t ir t w as possible, and as by this tim e a draw w as certain, th e subsequent proceedings w ere o f com p aratively little interest. F orty- nine w ere idded, and th en w ith t k-e com pletion of S om ersetshire’s innings fo r 168 the m atch w as draw n. T h ere w as n o extras in L an cash ire’s innings it w ill te seen.
