The United Service Ground at Portsmouth was the scene of this match, thelirst county match played there for seven seasons. A newwicket-keeper was tried in the person of S. R. Olivier, Lieut R.N., andJ.M. Quinton replaced Bencraft ontheHampshire side. Woodcock re-appeared for Leicestershire who also included WhitesideandG.W. Hillyardintheirteam. Leicester­ shire won the toss butHillyard and Tomlin were both out at 17. Holland was then joined by Pougher and a long stand ensued, the former being badly missed when 20. Pougher had been in 70 minutes and the partnership had added 42 when he was out at 59. Knight then put in a very excellent performance and %the total had been increased by 77 when he was out for 53. Holland soon followed having been in three hours and twentyminutes for 54 a very useful if not an inspiriting innings. De Trafford hit hard for his 46made in 70minutes, and Woodcock was also quick in getting his not out 16. Leicestershire occupied all the days play except ten minutes in scoring 212. In the few minutes left for play Hampshire scored 25 without loss. The heavy rain of Thursday night had made the ground play badly on the nextmorning and bowlers had a great advantage. At 50Wynyard and at 54Ward left, and wickets falling quickly half the side were out for 91. Then after another wicket had fallen cheaply, Bacon and Soar added 35 for the seventhpartnership, but again a downfall of wickets occurred, and the whole side were out, 60runs to the bad. De Trafford and Holland went in to increase the lead but the captainwas bowled second ball and Tomlin left at 17. Then Pougher and Holland after the former had been missed, added 32, but both were out at 40. Knight and Bacon made no stand but Wright and Hillyard hit out and in 25 minutes had increased the score by 34 theformerhitting four 4’s in liis eighteen. No other stand was made and after all Hampshire hadbut 178runs set towin, amuchsmaller task than at one time seemed likely. Making 6with­ out loss on Friday evening, Hampshire next morning lost Ward at 26, but Wynyard hit hardandthesecond wicket fell at 54. Wootton was out at 73 for an in­ valuable 35, and at 95 Hill was dismissed. Barton was lbw at 113, and 65 runs were wanted with 5 wickets to fall. Captain Quinton was, however, batting splendidly, and Bacon and he added 29 before the former left. Soar came in and a good attempt was made to secure the gamewithoutfurther loss, 31being madebeforetheprofessionalwascaught in the longfield ; five onlywere thenwantedand these were soon obtained, Captain Quinton taking out his bat for a splendid 55 which included six 4’s, a 3, and seven 2’s, and for which he was batting two hours and a half. Hampshire thus won a keenly fought game by three wickets. Score and analysis :— L eicestershire . FirstInnings. Mr. G. W.Hil’yard.cWyn­ yard, b Soar ...............

Fromthe Yorkshire teamwere absent Messrs. F. S. Jackson and F. Mitchell, the former owing to an injured leg, and the latter leaving England with the team for the United States on Saturday. Mr. E. Smith and Moor­ house were, however, able to fill the vacancies, so that Yorkshire lost littleinstrength. Gloucestershire had about their strongest team. Yorkshire had first innings, and neither Tunnicliffe nor Brown was at home with Townsend’s bowling, and in fact he dis­ missed them at 17 and at 18 respectively. Denton gave a chance before scoring, but then he and Moor­ house batted in dashing style as in thirty-three minutes 60 were scored when Denton was caught. Peel joined Moorhouse and 70 were made for the partnership when Moorhouse left for 70 made in ninety minutes, including nine 4’s and nine 3’s. After this came a series of successes for Townsend, who took every other wicket. Paul and Smith made 24, and Smith and Lord Hawke 25 while together, but the side were out for 221. Peel was batting ninetyminutesfor his 31. Gloucestershire lost Grace at 9and Wrathall at 15. Then came a sensational performance by Mr. G. L. Jessop. In twenty bits he made 63 by twelve 4’s, two 3’s, three 2’s, and three singles in exactly half an hour. Meanwhile, Ferris made 2, fifty-one of thesewere scored in a quarter of an hour. This hitting stands by itself even in this season. Ferris was out at 93, but Sewell and Rice played well and remained in until the adjoumement. On Friday play was much interfered with by rain. Rice was out without adding to his score the wicket having made 33, but Townsend and Sewell made another stand the South African making his first 50 forthe county. This score occupied himan hour and a quarter. Townsend and Page contributed 45for the next wicket-and then Brown finished off the innings, the Western county being 2 runs behind. On Saturday there appeared to be scarely time to finish the match, but again Townsend bowled with great success, and though Brown and Tunnicliffe made 50in the first thirty-five minutes and 66before the first wicket fell, and the secondwicket realized 27, the later Yorkshiremen, with the single exception of Hirst, did little or nothing, and the total realized only 143. Tunnicliffe’s 52 was a fine display, and in a hundredminutes he hit seven 4’s, three 3’s, and three 2’s. The Yorkshire wickets fell at 66, 93, 97, 103, 103,110, 122,125, 139, 143. Townsend completed his hundredwickets in first-class cricket this season. Gloucestershire wanted 146 to win, and Grace and Ferris made but 23 in forty-five minutes, but then the champion began to hit, and after sixty-five minutes play he had made 38 out of 50before being caught and bowled. Painterwas sent in to hit, ana both he and Ferris scored quickly 53 being added in half an hour when the professional left. Forty- three were now left to win, and of these Wrathall and Ferris made 33in twenty minutes, when the former was caughtat slip.Jessop came in, and the game was shortly afterwards won by sevenwickets, a great and memorable victory for Gloucestershire.
