380 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 29, 1895. GLOUCESTERSH IRE v. SU R R E Y At Bristol, August 26th, 27th, and 28th. With the exception that K. J. Key replaced W. W. Bead on the Surrey side, and W. OKGrace, jun., H. V. Page on that of Glou' esiershire, the teams were the same as took part in the matchesagainst Somersetshireand Yorkshire. Abel and Beadscored freelyat the start, though Read gave a chance when 11. After 40 had been made in half an hour rain stopped play for awhile, but the total had been taken to 85when Abel was out for a well-played 38. After this excellent start the 100went up with one wicket down, but at 102Hayward was out. Read and Holland took the score to 138, when Holland left, and at 157 Maurice Read was disposed of for a fine innings of 88, his highest and best this season. He was at the wickets two hours and twenty minutes, and hit six 4’s, nine 3’s, and five 2’s. Boon after this point the batting broke down completely, 170 went up with onl.\ four men out, but at 171 Lockwood was bowled and Leveson-Gowerstumped, at 175Brockwellwas caught at the wicket, at 178 Key was thrown out and Mar­ shall caught at slip, Richardson was bowled four later, six wickets thus fallingfor 11runs. Townsend, though ineffective while the wicket was wet in the early morning, was very destructive later on while it was drying. Grace was out at 5 without scoring when Gloucestershire’s innings began, but Ferris and Wrathall made a capital show, 50 going up in thirty- five minutes, and at the call of time 64 were scored with these men still together. Heavy rain fell on Monday night and play was curtailed on Tuesday. Wrathall and Ferris had not been separated at the interval when the score was 94, but three runs later the young professional left, having been batting 93 minutes for 59runs which includedeight 4’s. Jessop sent up the 100, but soonplayed a ball from Richard­ son into his wicket. Rice started slowly but im­ proved later, and runs came quickly, despite several changes of bowling, until 186, Ferris, who had been in during thethree hours andaquarterthat the game had been in progress was out for a defensive 58. The fourth wicket had produced 77 runs. Rice left at 194, and his 46included five 4’s and five 3’s, it was a very good innings and occupied him an hour and a half. Richardson then bowled in fine style, and despite W. G., Junr., and Townsend both making double figures the innings closed for 243, 61 ahead of the Surrey total. Richardson’s last piece of bowling reads 50 balls, 33 runs, 5 wickets. Rain fell after Townsend had bowled a maiden over to Lockwood and the game was adjourned. In connection with Surrey’8first innings, a no-ball from Jessop, which Lohmann hit and Key was run out fromwas not re­ corded, but it was added to the score yesterday morning, and made the total 183. Read and Lock­ wood resumed batting. The score reaced 30 in forty minutes, when Lockwood, who had contributed 26, was caught and bowled by Townsend. Abel came, and 50occupied seventyminutesincompilation. The deficit was rubbed off without further loss, but at 85 Read was caught at slip. He had been in an hour and three-quarters for 38. Holland left for an addi­ tional 12runs. After Abel left for a good 39 no one made a big stand, but runs came steadily until, at 193 for nine wickets, the innings was closed. Gloucestershire had 1:34 to get to win, and no time to get them. There was rather a failure in the batting, and seven wickets were down for 37 when time was called. Score and analysis S urrey .

KENT. At Trent Bridge, Nottingham, August 26th, 27th and 28th. Though only two hours and a half were available for play on Monday, Notts made a capital start in this match, Wright alon« of theKent bowlers being in the least effective. The ground was veiy easy through the wet and thebatsmenmade themost of their chances, only four wickets falling for 153. Notts, though without Gunn, were otherwise well represented, and Shrewsbury and A. O. Jones made a very capital opening, no wicket falling until at 97 the o'i I Cantab was caught from a skier. He had given a chance at the wicket when 38, but his 52was a good innings. P. W. Oscroft stayed while 30 runs were made, when he was out in the same way as Jones. Flowers failed, but Shrewsbury was not dis­ missed until the score was 151, of which he had made 73iu two hours and twenty minutes, his hits were eight 4’s, four b’s, and eignt 2's. Daft came in, but had not scored when the game was adjourned. On Tuesday, Dixon and Daft iucreased the total by 38, when the former was taken at the wicket for an excellent 37, but then rain stopped play, and the game could not be resumed until four o’clock. Not much was done by the latter batsmen, the last half of the teamgoing for 34 runs, Daft’s 28was, however, a well played contribution. When Kent went in the wicket was yety bad, and both batsmen played very cautiously. Nevertheless, Hearne was out at 13, and Wright at 12, Kent having two wickets down for 20, when the game was adjourned. YesterdayMarchant and Mason continued Kent’s first innings, both batsmen scored freely, but when the total had been carried to 57 the Kent captain was clean bowled, and at 82 Mason was well caught at mid-on. Mason played a capital innings for his 47, which included five fours, while Easby continued strictly on the de­ fensive. Rashleighhitresolutelyall roundthe wicket, his 50 being compiled in a trifle more than as many minutes, in his 62were six fours,while hispartnership with Easby, which occupied just an hour, added 79y of which 56 stood to the credit of the amateur. Stew­ art, Easby, Livesay, Kemp, and Martin all scored well, and with 308 up for eight wickets, the innings was declared. Shrewsbury and Jones, however, playedsowell, thatnotonlywastheoffchanceof defeat averted, but the deficit of 83 was wiped out, and 13 scored to the good, without the loss of a wicket.
