166 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a t 30 , 19 01. ESSEX t . GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Leyton on May 23, 24, and 25. Drawn. TWO SEPARATE HUNDREDS BY MR. MCGAHEY. This was in many ways a remarkable match. From first to last the wicket was in perfect order, and the bat always held the upper hand over the ball, except at one period of the Gloucestershire second innings, when there was just a possibility of a collapse. The rate of scoring by the Essex team was in marked contrast to that which is often shewn by the eleven, and their innings of 452 was com­ pleted on the first day in time to allow Gloucester­ shire to go to the wickets for ten minutes. The bulk of the runs came from Carpenter and Mr. McGahey, who put on 180 in an hour and three- quarters, but most of the team helped to swell the total. By the end of the second day Gloucestershire had also finished their first innings and had been able to give Essex three quarters of an-hour’sbatting. Here again two men did most of the scoring. Board making 161 in three hours and twenty minutes by admirable cricket, and Hale holding on to one end for about the same time. Thanks chiefly to these two men Gloucestershire were only in a minority of 57 runs at the end of the innings, but as Carpenter and Mr. Owen put on 41 without being separated, Essex began the third day with all their wickets in hand and a lead of 98, so that everything pointed to a drawn game. The Essex batting on Saturday was chiefly remarkable for the second fine display of Mr. McGahey, who carried his bat for 145, putting on 176 in a couple of hours in partnership with Mr. Fane by splendid cricket. Carpenter, as well as Mr. Fane, also played a masterly game. Gloucestershire were left to make 354 in three hours and a quarter, an impossible task. For a short time there was a chance that the match would be finished, for three wickets fell for 34 runs. Then, however, Mr. Jessop and Hale stayed together for nearly an hour, and by the end of this time there was not much hope of getting the team out. Mr. Jessop played a really remarkable innings, after a few moments of un­ certainty when he went in. He scored 81 out of 111 in less than an hour, his innings including two sixes, one of them run out and the other a big hit over the pavilion and out of the ground. Hale kept steadily on until the safety of his side was almost, but not quite, assured. The many cricketers who affirm that all matches might be brought to a conclusion if the fielding was always good might be excused if they instanced this match as one which would almost certainly have been finished if it had not been for dropped catches, most of which would have been picked up by a clever team.

Played on the Christ Church ground at Oxford on May 23, 24, and 25. Surrey won by six wickets. As Surrey took the field without Lockwood, Lees and Brockwell, who were given a rest, the Oxford men had not the strongest bowling side in the world to contend with, and in the first innings they gave an excellent account of themselves. They nearly all made runs, and although for the most part there was no life in the batting, Mr. R. E. Moore, the old West­ minster boy, played an innings which was excellent in every way. He was batting for nearlythree hours for bis 133. At the close of the day Oxford had com- J leted an innings for 352 and had disposed of Mr. ephson for a total of 26, so that they were in a very satisfactory position when play was resumed on Friday. Nor had they much reason to be dissatisfied with themselves when the Surrey innings was finished, for they had only a balance against them of 48. Abel once more played a steady and sound innings of his well known pattern, Hayes by good cricket helped him to put on 88 for the second wicket, Mr. Walker, who had doDe so well for the London County this season, made 84 in a couple of hours, and Mr. Leveson-Gower 71 in an hour and three quarters, hittiDg well on the off side as usual. When Oxford began their second innings at aquarter to five, there was a great probability that the game would be drawn, but by half past six they had lost four wickets for 76, and were thus only 28 runs to the good, This bad beginning was their undoiDg. Another wicket fell almost as soon as play began on Saturday, and the game seemed almost over. But Mr. More again distinguished himself, and the tail batted nobly, Mr. Kelly h ittiD g tremendously hard and playing excellent cricket, and when the inniDgs was brought to an end there was just a chance that Surrey might not have time to make the runs. Three hours and ten minutes remained for play, and Surrey had to make 222. But the Surreymen did not let the grass grow under their feet, and Abel, Mr. Walker and Hayward all made their nms pretty quickly, so that their side was able to claim a victory by six o’ clock.
