A ug . 22, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 367 GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. ESSEX. Played at Clifton on August 19, 20 and 21. Drawn. AN EXCITING FIN ISH . In the course of five hours’ batting Essex only managed to score 270 on the first day, the Gloucester­ shire bowling being very good indeed, and the bats­ men, as a rule, not very enterprising. There was only one long partnership, and, as a matter of fact, most of the team were out at a iime when it seeme i that they had just got comfortably settled, which accounts in great measure for the slowness cf the scoring throughout the day. The one long partnership pro­ duced 107 runs. Mr. Perrin’s 73 was made in two hours and a-half, his first fifty having taken over two hours, while Mr. McGahey was at the wickets for three hours and ten minutes for his 66. On the whole the batting was most decidedly not inspiriting. On the next morning Gloucestershire began very finely with Mr. Kice and Wrathall. who put on 113 for the first wicket. But after this the batsmen one and all found a difficulty in playing the bowling, and Mr McGahey proved to be quite a terror to them. But some useful scores were made, and although at one time a break down seemed imminent, the total in the end was only 40 behind that of Essex. In their second innings Essex had scored 89 for the loss of three wickets when stumps were drawn, and were thus 129 runs on. Yesterday, Mr. McGahey, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. Tosetti were all in form, but the rate of scoring was too slow to offer a chance of winning, unless Gloucestershire collapsed very badly. As things turned out Gloucestershire, wh >had to make 306 to win, managed when the last two men were in to avoid defeat. But against the bowliDg of McGahey the batsmen who went in first fared so badly that at half-past four seven wickets were down, and it was only by some extremely good and plucky butting by Mr. Rice and Paish that the situation waa saved. Once more a drawn game provided an excitirg finish. E ssex . First innings. 0 . G.

SURREY v. SOMERSET. Played at Taunton on August 19, 20 and 21. Drawn. It has not infrequently happened, when Surrey have been in the running for the Championship, that their prospects have been considerably damped by the result of their tour in the West of England, the Somerset men being particularly hard on them. This year they have been relieved from the worries of and anxieties which attend the closing matches of counties which may perhaps end the seasou by becomingcham­ pions, but there were still possibilities in the way of descending lower in the championship table. Under these circumstances it was somewhat disheartening when Somerset ecored 405 for nine wickets on thefirst day. Once more Mr. Palairethad a lot to answer for. In partnership with Braund he helped to put on 128for the first wicket, and then with Lewis he add d 111 before he himself was dismissed. He played splendid cricket, and his fine innings of 140, which lasted for two hours and fifty minutes, included nineteen 4’s. Lewis continued to play a great game, aud finally had the pleasure of mailing his huudred. Un the next morning the innings closed for 438, Gill hitiing very hard and scoring his 56 not out in fifty minutes out of a total of o7. Surrey began their difficult task very soon after mid-day on Tuesday, and lost Mr. Jephson at once. But at lunch time the total was 91, and no other wicket had fallen, Abel being then not out 54 and Mr. Leveson-Gower not out 35. The partnership was broken with the total at 140. Mr. Gower survived until the total was lfcO. Like Abel, he had played splendid cricket. But by far the most attiactive batting of the day was seen when Hayward an i jiur. Dowson put on lOu runs in an hour for the seventh wicket, both menmaking the most delightful hits. The f »liow-on was very easily saved. The innings came to a conclusion j ust before stumps wtre drawn, fcuney beii g 108 runs behind. Yesterday, with the object of seeiug a victoiy, if possible, Mr. Woods, after Braund had been dismissed first ball, j ,i ied Mr. Palairet, and both men went in for hitting, with the result that the hundred went up in fifty minutes. So far, so gojd ; but against Mr. Jephsou’s bowling the batting then broke down, and eight wickets fell for liu. At this period of the game c-urrey, for the first time, seemed to have a possible chance of winning but Mr. Newton and Gill kept together until danger was averted. Surrey had to mtske 3*9 in two hoursaud fifty minutes and of course played f »ra draw. For a time there was an appearance of a break-down, but when Abel and Hayw rd got tog6ther such a determined resistance was offered that the bowling was worn down, and Surrey easily brought about a drawn game. It would be difficult to speak too highly of the batting of the two men. S om ersetshire . First innings.
