A ug . 6, 1896. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 333 GLOTJCESTERSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Old Trafford on July 30 and 31. Lancashire won by 10 wickets. A series of misfortunes, which are described fully in “ Pavilion Gossip” befell Gloucestershire in this match, and it is not surprising that they were very easily beaten. Nine of the Lancashire men made double figures, and owing to the substitution of Wrathall for Board at the wicket there were49extras, of vshich 31 were byes. Owing to a very bad light, Gloucestershire lost three wickets for 14 at the close of the first day, and on a wicket greatly affected by rain in the night the rest of the team fared badly. In the second innings Dr. Grace played in quite his old form for 42, and Mr. Jessop hit splendidly for 81, an innings which was made in 80 minutes. The last six wickets fell for 71 runs. A. C.

NOTTS. Played at Brighton on July 30, 31 and August 1. Drawn. On a good wicket at Brighton the Notts men did not score as quickly as might have been expected, but they kept in all the first day, and had only lost eight wickets for 283 when stumps were drawn. The innings was remarkable for the regularity with which one batsman after another came in and made a good score. Gunn and Shrewsbury, who have so often kept Sussex fielding for hours, were out for comparatively small totals, but Mr. A. O. Jones was within measurable distance of his hundred when he was caught at the wicket. Rain fell heavily in the ni^ht, and it was not possible to resume play until just before lunch. This was, of course, greatly to the disadvantage of Sussex, who, after they had got rid of the remaining two batsmen for a few runs, had to bat on a wicket which helped the bowlers consider­ ably. Under these discouraging circumstances they played a better first innings than usual, thanks to K. S. Ranjitsinhji, Killick, and Bean. The innings was concluded a few minutes before the time for drawing stumps, and very fortunately for 8ussex the total was just big enough to save the follow on. There was very little probability that the match would be finished, for although Notts were 112 runs on, the wicket was recovering from the rain, and it was not likely that Notts would be able to make runs quickly enough to be able to declare with any hope of getting Sussex out. When Notts went in it was notvery easy to make runs, but Gunn and Shrewsbury both came off, and the captain was able to declare when eight wickets were down, leaving Sussex two hours and forty minutes’ batting. It was just as well for Notts that there was not time for Sussex to make the 290 runs required, for at the close of the day they were only 100 runs behind with seven wickets to fall. For this satisfactory position Sussex have to thank K. S. Ranjitsinhji and Marlow, who put on 101 runs while they were together. In the last over Ranjitsinhji brought his score up to exactly 100. His play was as pretty and excellent as ever, and Marlow was also at his best. Guttridge, the old Sussex man, did nothing startling with the ball against his former county, but in the Notts second innings he made 23 not out. Brown, the new Notts bowler, did well in the first innings, while Parris and Tate had good analyses for Sussex. N otts . First innings. Second innings.

WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Birmingham on July 30, 31 and August 1. Drawn. Again handicapped by the absence of Captain Wynyard, Hampshire had to work very hard before they managed to make an extremely creditable draw with Warwickshire, who had the good fortune to win the toss on a perfect wicket. Warwickshire did not make runs very quickly; they would have had a much better chance of winning if they had scored another fifty on the first day. They only lost five wickets for a total of 294. Towards this W . G. Quaife contributed 102 (not out) in four hours, and Mr. Bainbridge 84 in three hours and ten minutes, so that each man only scored at the rate of about 25 runs an hour, which, on a good wieket, when the batsmen have got the upper hand Qf the bowling, is not exciting. The innings closed for 335. For Hampshire Barton and Captain Quinton played splendid cricket, and it was mainly owing tn their exertions that at the end of the innings Warwickshire were only leading by 59 runs. In their second innings, when there was very little chance of finishing the match, Warwickshire scored quickly, Mr. Bain­ bridge and Diver playing particularly interesting cricket. After lunch the innings was closed, but although Hampshire began badly, such a fine stand was made by Captain Quinton and Webb, that the game was anybody’ s when stumps were drawn. Forester bowled wonderfully well in the Hampshire first innings. W a r w ic k sh ir e . First innings. Second innings. H. W .
