1 66 CRICKET : A WEEK jl Z RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 30, 1895. KENT v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Mr. W . G. Grace is responsible once again for a sensation. But the Kent and Gloucester match began at Gravesend on Thursday, is probably without parallel in some of its features. It was a two-man exploit on the Western county’s side which turned a probable defeat, then an almost certain draw, into a wonderful victory. Going in first. Kent put together the fine total of 470 runs. Of these, Alec Heame was credited with 155. He batted for four hours, his first 50 occupying the former, and the remaining 105 the latter half of this time. There were twentv-one 4’s in his score, and he gave but one half-chance, at 109. Marchant had seven 4’s in his brilliant 38 in twenty-five minutes made in his best form, and Easby played well for his 28. Heame and W eigall, however, made the best score for a wicket 173 going on in two hours and a quarter while they were together. The first innings of Gloucester was Grace and Iongo intervallo Painter and Kitcat. The latter’s partnership with the former put on 88 runs in an hour, and with the latter yielded 156 runs in 130 minutes. Grace took two hours over his first 50, another hour for the second half century and five minutes more for his third. He was at the wicket altogether for seven hours and thirty-five minutes, and his 257 included 24 fours, 5 threes and 23 twos. Kent had apparently a safe draw, but the history of their innings is soon told. Before Painter, who has never before shown anything like the same form, the wickets wenT down rapidly until nine were captured for 53. Then Martin joined Alec Hearne, who alone had shown confidence, and the last wicket added 23 in forty minutes. Seventy-five minutes remained for play when Gloucestershire went in for the fourth innings, and the required number to win was 104. Wrathall was out at 15, but on Painter joining Grace the score rose rapidly, fifty went up in thirty-five minutes, and despite several bowling changes 106 runs were totalled in exactly an hour. Grace’s 73 (not out) included eleven 4’s and Painter scored 24 out of his 31 from boundary hits. Grace was on the field while every ball in the match was bowled. 'H is score as will be seen was three for once out. In the three days 1,105 runs were totalled for 31 wickets. Score and analysis: K ent . First Innings. Mr. F Marchant, b Grace ... 38 A.

The first encounter this season of these old rivals, at Trent Bridge, resulted after a good game in a fairly level draw. In their first innings each side made a bad start. Yorkshire lost half their wickets for 55 runs, and Notts, Daft and A. O. Jones for 7, but in each case there was a material improvement afterwards. Moorhouse and Wainwright were the pair who came to Yorkshire’s rescue, scoring 73 in.an hour-and-a-quarter for the sixth wicket. Then Lord Hawke and Moorhouse added 57 in an hour before the professional left for 67, which included a 5 and eight 4’s. Mounsey and Hirst put on 34 for the ninth wicket in 20 minutes, and the second half of the team added 182 runs. After the failures at starting, Gunn and Flowers played excellent cricket for a time, and then, after Dixon’s disposal, the former and Attewell on Thursday evening and Friday morning added 111 in rather more than an hour-and-a-half. The remainder of the innings was remarkable only for an incident, which, if magnificent, was not cricket. Wilkinson was off his ground and the wicket was put down. The umpire gave him out. But he had thought he had made a boundary hit, and F. S. Jackson with others had called out “ four.” On discussion Wilkinson was gi^en another innings, neither the ball nor thehit being counted. Lillywhite offered no objection, hut, of course, there was no justification for the batsman having a second innings by the laws of cricket. The Yorkshire- men’s second show was noticeable for a second success by Wainwright, and an excellent innings of 63 by Charlesworth. Lord Hawke closed the innings when 312 had gone up for eight wickets, and then Notts, began a very fine attempt to win the match A. O. Jones and D aft before lunch made 70 runs without loss, then, though Gunn failed, Flowers played a splendid innings and was well supported by Dixon. The partnership of the two last-named was the big event of the day, and at one time seemed to render a victory probable,as it was, with the score at 279Flowers was bowled for 119 made in three hours and twenty minutes, the last wicket having put on 155. The wickets played remarkably well all through. In proof of this, 1,037 runs were scored in the match for 32 wickets. The plucky play o f the Notts men at the finish, naturally, aroused some enthusiasm. In the two matches the Notts Eleven have played this season, at Trent Bridge, it is worthy of remark that they have scored 1,214 runs for 24 wickets. Score and analysis:— Y orksiiirf ..
