CRICKET PITCHES and LAWN TENNIS COURTS to Let, for the Day or Term. For terms and particulars apply to H . A nderson , Proprietor, 16, Forest Hill Road, Honor Oak. A n extremely enthusiastic supporter of Gloucestershire cricket is my authority for three interesting features in connection with that County’s brilliant victory over Yorkshire on Saturday. In the first place, though it was the eighteenth of the Cheltenham weeks, this year is the first in which Gloucestershire has won both matches. There was a singular coin­ cidence in the fact that while the York­ shire match marked the hundredth victory of Gloucestershire since the institution of the County Club in 1870, it also repre­ sented in Townsend’s completion of his hundred wickets, the first occasion on which the feat has been accomplished in a season by a Gloucestershire cricketer for his county. U n le s s my information is incorrect, Sussex cricket, which will next year lose Mr. C. B. Pry’s help, at least in the early part of the season, through his appoint­ ment to a mastership at Eton, will also suffer a permanent loss by the return of Mr. G. L . Wilson to Australia. Assuming what I have been told to be true, Mr. Wilson, whose cricket for Sussex has been considerably curtailed, to everyone’s regret by illness, is returning shortly to Australia, having been called to the bar with the object of practising as a barri­ ster. He is, as many Cricket readers are well aware, an Australian by birth. T h e remarkable success of Surrey’s SecondEleven, whohavenot been defeated Bince 1892, is worthy of something more than a passing notice. I t will be of interest to Cricket readers, I am sure, to give a summary of their performances for the present season:— First Second Inns. Inns. Total.
