A ug . 19, 1S97. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, $63 THE CHELTENHAM WEEK. GLOUCESTERSHIRE r. NOTTS. Played at Cheltenham on August 1‘2, 13 & 14. Gloucestershire won by an innings and 40 runs. This match was a complete triumph for W .G ., for the veteran Doctor not only played a very sound innings of 131, but took two wiekets f®r 22 runs in the first innings and no less than six in the second for 36 ; so that he had a very large share in the victory of his side. The Gloucestershire team was about as strong as it could be, but Notts were without Shrews­ bury, Gunn, and Pike, and the loss of the two famous batsmen told very heavily on the team. It was a good but bold move on the part of W .G. to deolare his innings closed at the beginning of the third day ef the match, when Gloucestershire had a lead of 161. There was a certain amount of risk in doing this, for if Notts had shown anything like a bold front, Gloucestershire might have been put in to make about 50 or 60, and as the wicket was greatly in favour of the bowlers this would perhaps have been a difficult task. But all’s well that ends well, and as it happened the Doctor bowled so exceedingly well that his policy was abundantly j ustified. N o t t s . First innings. Second innings. P. W.

A SCORE O P 288 F O R T H E F IR ST W IC K E T . Played at Southampton on August 12, 13&14. Drawn. The Hampshire men certainly deserve congratula­ tion for coming out of the Warwickshire match with such credit. It was bad enough to have a record score put on against them for the first wicket by Abel and Brockwell at the Oval, but it was worse to find Mr. Bainbridge and W . G. Quaife getting within measurable distance of the Oval total in the v#ry next match in the same week. The scoring of the tw£ Warwickshire men was not quite as fast as that of Abel and Brockwell, but there was a steady persis­ tence about it which must have made Hampshire wonder whether they were in for a new record, and whether this record would be something tenibleto look back upon. The much-longed-for separation did not come until iust before time for the drawing of stumps, when at last Mr. Bainbridge was stumped by Captain Wynyard, who had taken the place of Mr. Steele when the latter went on to bowl. Mr. Bain- bridge had made 162 in about four hours by very good cricket indeed. No other wicket fell, and when play was adjourned the total was 824 for only one wicket, Quaife being not out 127 and Mr. Byrne not out 25. This was a promising look-out for Hampshire, and it was not much improved on the following day. for although Warwicfcshire made no further startling score, the rain which fell in the Dight greatly handi­ capped Hampshire when they went in to bat. Quaife increased his seore to 178, carrying his bat, after feeing m through the whole of the innings, which lasted for very nearly seven hours. Hampshire had a bad time while they were at the wicket, and but for a very fine 67 by Captain Wynyard, who went in first, the score would have been lamentably small. As it was eight wickefcs were down at the dose of the day with the total'at 137, so that there seemed nothing before the t«am but a very severe defeat. But on Saturday the wicket had completely recovered, and although the first innicigs was completed with the addition of a run (Soar being unable to bat), there was a very differeut tale to tell in the follow-on, after three men (includ­ ing Captain Wynyard, who had played well for 38) were out for 83. With six wickets in hand (Soar wag still unable to bat) and nearly all the day before them, Hampshire seemed to have no earthly chance of mak­ ing a draw. But in the game of cricket you never know what is coming next. Mr. Hill and Mr. Andrews \ ecame partners for the fourth wicket, and were not parted until they had made a draw quite certain ; they eaeh made a hundred, and each played sueh excellent and such very steady cricket that their efforts must have been greatly appreciated by the Warwickshire wen, some of whom are connoisseurs of this style of play.

Lancashire won by an innings and 26 runs. Handicapped by the weather and the state of the wicket, by the absence of Peel, and by the injuries of various members tf the team, Yorkshire suffered a crushing defeat in this match. They batted first on a difficult wicket, which when Lancashire were batting was easier, and going in a second time with a balance of 126 against them found the wicket once more exceedingly difficult. Mr. Jackson broke the run of ill-luck which has lately followed him and played an almost perfect innings of 59, but the rest of the team could not cope with the bowling of Cuttell and Hallam. Briggs was knocked off by Mr. Jackson, or otherwise he would have had a chance of distin­ guishing himself. The Lancashire innings was an improvement on that oi Yorkshire because of Sugg’s fine batting. Aided by a little luck, he obtained a complete command over the Yorkshire bowling and played as fine, if not as vigorous, an innings as he has ever done, making 122, his first hundred of tbe season, in four hours. Of the other batsmen, Mr. MacLaren scored '9 and Cuttell 44. Play was stopped on Friday afternoon by heavy rain, and when York­ shire went in ou Saturday it was odds that they would be beaten in an innings. Mr. Jaekson was out first ball. At ten. Denton was bowled by Cuttell, and at 19 Tunnicliffe, Moorhouse and Hirst were all dis­ posed of. Thua five wickets were down. Mr. Milli­ gan and Lord Hawke made a determined attempt to save the innings defeat, and nearly succeeded in their object. Lord Hawke carried his bat for a very finely played Si. Y orkshire .
