A u g . 1 , 1 9 0 1 . CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 3 0 9 LANCASHIRE t . GLOUCESTERSHIKE. Played at Old Trafford on July 25, 26 and 27. Drawn. At one o’clock on Thursday last it was raining so heavily that it was obvious that no play would te possible until the morrow, and the game was post­ poned, Friday was fine and a full day’s cricket waa seen. The wicket was slow tut by no means as difficult as had been anticipated, and nearly 400 runs were made during the day, Lancashire finishing with a slight advantage on paper, although as they were still 177 runs behind and the wicket was not likely to improve, their advantage was not very real. 'Ihe chief feature of the Gloucestershire battirg was the partnership between Board and Mr. Kitcat, which produced 91 runs in an hour. Eoth played very fine cricket, the foimer making (9 in an hour and a half, and the latter 60 in an hour and fifty minutes. Mr. Jessop’s short innings of 27 was particularly attract­ ive; it only lasted for a quarter of an hour and included a drive out of the ground, one of the biggest hits ever eeen at Manchester. At the end of the day, when Lancashire went in there was some delightful cricket by Mr. Garnett, who scored £0 out of 106 in an hour and ten minutes without giving the slightest chance. When stumps were drawn Lancashire had scored 1C8 for one wicket against 285 by Gloucester­ shire. On the next morning Ward, who was not out 26 overnight, stuck steadily to his work on a wicket which began to feel the effects of a hot sun, and his entire innings of 61 lasted for three hours and five minutes. But the rest of the team could make nothing of the bowling of Mr. Brown and Roberts, and in the end Gloucestershire had a lead of S8 on the first innings. In their second innings Gloucestershire did pretty badly, and six wickets were down when they were only 94 runs on, with an hour and three-quarters left for play. At this time there was just a chance that Lancashire might pull off the match, although they would have found it exceedingly difficult to make runs, but Mr. Kitcat once more came to the assistance of his county when it was in a tight place, and Mr. Fowler played an admirable innings, so that a draw was inevitable. Mr. Steel bowled remarkably well. G lou cestersh ire . First innings. Second innings.

Owing to heavy rain, and a wicket whch was not very gpod, the bowlers had much the best of the situation on Monday, and the only batsman who stood out prominently was Mr. Read who scored 75 by excellent cricket in two hours and ten minutes. At the end of the day each side had played an innings, and the South Alricans, with a lead of 39, had lost a wicket for five runs m their second innings. On the next morniog Mr. Reid and Mr. Hathorn put on 98 for the third wicket, and allhough most of the team did nothing, Mr. Hathorn and Mr. Prince played remarkably good cricket, the former scoring 99in two hours and forty minutes, and the latter 95 in an hour and thirty-five minutes. Staffordshire were now out of the running, having to make 357 to win, and before slumps were drawn they had lost three wickets for 43. S outh A frican s .

This two-day match was not commenced until hall-past two on the first day owing to heavy rain. Mr. J. E. Stevens played admirable cricket for Wiltshire, but there was a great breakdown in the batting against the bowling of Mr. Rowe and Mr. Sinclair. When the South Africans went in, Mr. Shalders did well, but six wickets were down for 72 when stumps were drawn. On Saturday the weather was £0 bad that it waa impossible to play. W il t s h ir e .

Abandoned without a ball being bowled. So heavy had been the rain at Worcester, and so saturated^was the wicketj that the match was abandoned for the day at twelve o’clock. The Rev. A. P. Wickham was down to keep wicket for Somersetshire in place of Mr. Newton, while Mr. W . W . Lowe was to play for Worcestershire in place of iMr. Simpson-Hayward. On Friday more rain fell in the early morning, but the sun came out. and it was thought that it would be possible to begin play at about two o’clock. Then came a heavy ihunderstorm, and all idea of play was given up for the day; and again on Saturday play was impossible. W o r c e s t e r s h ir e :—R. E. Foster, H. K. Foster, W . W . Lowe and W .
