J une 13, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF TtlE GAME. 197 SURREY v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. For this match, commenced at the Oval on Thursday last, Gloucester had but a poor side, and in the absence of Painter. Murch, Ferris, and Townsend, were especially weak in bowling. Key won the toss, and Surrey batted on a good wicket. Lockwood was out at five, but Abel and Hayward scored very freely the latter giving a very attractive display. The partnership, in 90 minutes, produced 109, of which Abel’s share was 38. Holland began in fine style and 62 runs had been put on when he was splendidly caught at short leg when well set. W . W . Read came in and Hayward after completing two hours and a half’s batting and his 100, at 233 was well run out by Captain Luard and the bowler. His 123, with­ out a chance, was made in five minutes under three hours, and included nineteen 4’s. Maurice Eead who tppeared in place of Street did little, but Walter Read’s 54, an admirable innings, occupied 5)5 minutes, and contained nine 4’s. Key was beautifully caught at mid-off, and Richardson also well taken by Sewell, and with eight wickets down for 295 Surrey’s innings looked nearly over. Brockwell and Smith, however, took the score to 351 by careful cricket, and W ood made 15 more before the game was adjourned. On Friday Brockwell added 9 and W ood :-,0 before the last named was caught for a well hit 45. Only Lockwood and Richardson of the Surrey team failed to score double figures. It was, however, due to this pair that Surrey obtained a very easy victory, Gloucester being twice dismissed for 210 runs. Lockwood had 8 wickets for 78 and Richardson 9 for 95. In Gloucestershire’s first innings after Grace had been caught for 17, made in forty minutes, during which he never seemed at home, Captain Lu ird, Kitcat, and Jessop tried hard to put a better aspect on affairs, and at lunch time the score was 96 for four. But on the re-start Lockwood sent down five overs for 16 runs and four wickets. 276 behind Gloucester followed on, and this time Grace seemed in better fettle, but just after reaching double figures he was brilliantly thrown out by Smith from cover point; a piece of bad luck for Gloucestershire as he was apparently just getting dangerous. Wickets then fell so fast that eight were down for 44. Ihen Board, who had been hurt by a ball from w^en wicket-keeping, hit very pluckily, and with Bracher added 32, Richardson quickly finished p i mnings by catching Bracher and bowling itoberts, so that Surrey won by an innings and 195 runs.

KENT. Thanks to consistently good play on the part of their batsmen and to some splendid bowling by Mold, Lancashire added yet another victory to their account in their match with Kent, commenced at Old Trafford on Thursday last. They were without A . C. Mac­ Laren, and Kent were strengthened by the assistance of W . H. Patterson, but the game was most one-sided from start to finish. W ard and Tinsley opened in good and careful style on a fast and true wicket, and in a hundred minutes registered 93 runs, when Tinsley was run out. Ward remained fifty minutes with Paul and 136 runs were on the board when he left. His 76 was in his best style. Sugg and Paul in 80 minutes obtained 83 runs, and then the last-named and Baker in the most productive partnership of the day, in 100 minutes added 122. Biker’s 56 was s ored by capital cricket and included seven 4’s. Four wickets only were down for 341 when play was adjourned. On Friday Paul increased his 122 not out to 140, his first century for Lancashire, and Lancashire’s first century this season. He was in for four hours and forty minutes, and nave a half-chance to the bowler, gave a remarkably fine display of batting. Briggs and Tindall put on 51 for the sixth wicket by bright cricket, but. excepting Lancaster, whose not out 23 was vigorously hit, the other batsmen need scant notice. Lancashire’s 487 is a record, but as the innings occupied 8 hours and 25 minutes, it will be seen that the batting was careful rather than brilliant. Kent made a sorry show against Mold. Merchant scored 20 before he was run out, but no one else did as much. Three of the fast bowler’s wickets were caught by Smith standing back, and in the other four cases he hit the stumps. Huish. the new Kent wicket-keeper, fell in trying to escape being run out and broke his collar bone. Following on, with sixty-five minutes left for play, Mold was for a time irrifistible. In forty minutes he had bowled Alec Hearne, Easby, J. R. Mason, and W . L. Knowles, and ten runs only had been scored from him. Then Patterson and Marchant played out time. Resuming on Saturday, Patterson alone was able to cope with Mold. His 57 not out was a freely and well-hit innings, but excepting Walter W right of the five remaining batsmen, ctuish being, of course, absent, no one stayed long with him, and Lancashire thus won by an innings and 291 runs. Mold’s record for the match was sixteen wickets out of seventeen that fell to the bowlers, for 111 runs, a splendid performance, especially as the wicket wore well.

Compared with what we have been accustomed to witness of late this was a low -scoring matcn, the forty wickets falling for 553. The wicket at Leicester last Thursday, though hard and fast, was som what fiery and the ball get’ ing up awkwardly. Yorkshire going in first lost six men for 7 J, despite Milligan’s 23, made up of five 4’s, a 2, and a single, and Demon’s 30, including a chance; but Moorhouse by some clever and well-timed cutt ng, m ide 81 oi the last 116 runs, and was not out ao the close. Jtiis chief hits were a 3, and thirteen 4’s. His chief as>istants were Lees— Whitehead (with whom he n.ad<- 54 in forty minutes for the eigntu wicket), and Hunter, who helped him to put on 33 for the last. Pougher bowled throughout the innings and had a fine record. Holland and Tomlin improved on a wretched s art for Leicestershire by making 46 in thirty-five min­ utes for the third wicket, but four were down for 63, when Holland and Pougher made another stand playing out time (forty-five minutes) and adding 44 runs. On Friday they continued together until 140 went up, but then came a complete collapse, and the whole side were out for 153. Holland and Pougher were together seventy-five minutes and put on 77 runs. Holland was at the wickets two hours and ten minutes and hit a five and three fours. Yorkshire were 35 to the good, but lost three good wickets for 11. Wainwright and Denton batted well, and Hirst hit with great resolution for 24, he and Lord Hawke making the best stand of the innings, 34 for the ninth wicket. Pougher had in the whole match twelve Yorkshire wickets for 130 runs. Wanting 168 to win Leicestershire never looked like making them. De Trafford in his usual style hit up 34 out of 39 whilst he was batting, and Pougher played verysteadily for 23 (not out). Eight Warwicksliire batsmen scored nine runs between th“m. Hirst bowled in splendid form , and accomplished the hat-trick at the dose of the innings. His bowling greitly conduced to Yorkshire’ s victory, as in all he had eleven wickets for 106 runs. In the end Yorkshire won comfortably by 87 runs. Score and analysis : Y orkshire . First Innings. Second Innings. F. W .
