GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Bristol on August 3, 4, and 5. Drawn. For the first time this season C. L. Townsend, C. O. H. Sewell, and W. S. A. Brown appeared for Gloucestershire, who, except that Spry was too un­ well to play, had their strongest team. Sussex were also at full strength. The wicket was good on Bank Holiday, and the home team kept in all day, losing nine wickets for 361. Undoubtedly the most notice­ able feature of the day’s play was the innings of G. L. Jessop, who, in the course of seventy minutes, scored 92 out of 106 for the fifth wicket, his partner being Langdon, who was content to make 10 runs during this time. Jessop Lit fourteen 4*s. Sewell and Brown both showed how much their county has lost by having to dispense with their seivices for so long. The former made 63 in an hour and forty minutes by correct batting, while the latter was not out 75 when stumps were drawn. Langdon played a most useful innings. There was a great surprise in store for the spectttors when the game was resumed on Tuesday morning, for, thanks to brilliant hitting by Brown atd sturdy defence by Roberts, the last wicket accounted for 104 runs in an hour and 50 minutes, Brown making 80 of them. This fine stand gave Gloucestershire a very commanding position, and they were now practically safe from defeat. Brown played a beautiful and faultless game for three hours and a quarter, and made hid highest score in first-class ciicket. Sussex went in for five minutes before lunch, and then a shower delayed play until nearly half-past three. The usual order was not followed, Vine going in first with Cox. Directly after the game was resumed Vine was out to remarkable catch at point. Fry then went in and played carefully for an hour and ten minutes, when he was caught at the wicket. Ranjitsinhji and Relf both failed, but Killick played a good innings, and with Brann played out time, the former being not out 55 and the latter not out 11. The total was 1€6 for five wickets. Yesterday the two not outs began well and when they were parted they had iocT ea sed the total by 73 in seventy minutes. After this Brann found a most valuable p irtner in Heygate. The two men kept together until the second over after lunch when Brann was finely caught on the t oundary. He had played a really magnificent gime just at the time when runs were verv badly wanted; his driving was at limes as brilliant as ever; he was at the wickets for three hours and ten minutes, and hi*hits included fifteen 4’s. His partnership with Heygate yielded 146 runs in two hours. Heygate’s inniegs was of the utmost value to his side. Sussex saved the follow on with the greatest ease, and there was practically no chance now of finishing the match. G l o u c e st e r sh ir e .

Kent won by ten wickets. There was almost a deluge at Canterbury during the early hours of Bank Holiday, but later the weather cleared and it was possible to begin play after a delay of an hour, when Essex went in on a soft wicket. AU went well for half-an-hour during which Fane und Sewell scored 28, but then Sewell was lbw, and very shortly afterwards Perrin and McGahey wereboth out in the same over, the latter making hi* third duck’s egg in successive innings. Blythe was bowlicg ex­ ceedingly well, and there was no one capable of trying to knock him off except Kortright who played a first- class innings of 32, wnich included some tine drives. Blythe took all the wickets except one. Kent lost Dillon for 2, but Alec Hearne and Seymour made a useful stand, and towards the close of the day Burnup played a good not out innings of 25. When stumps were drawn Kent had made 87 for three wickets, so that they were only 44runs behind, a very satisfactory state of affairs. On Tuesday Burnup and Day brought the total to 115 before being separated, and when Day was joined by Mason a very fine stand was made. This produced 91 runs in an hour, both men playing brilliant crit-ket. Hutchings and Blaker also played very well indeed, and when the innings came to an end Kent had a lead of 203. Things went none too well with Essex in the second innings, and when stump8were drawn they were still 46 runs behind with half their wickets down. Runs were made with difficulty, and although Perrin, Sewell, and McGahey were all seen more or less to advantage, the attack was never mastered. When stumps were drawn with the total at 157, McGahey was not out 45. Yester­ day McGahey played a splendid gime, but he received little assistance, except from Mead, who helped him to put on 45 for the last wicket. McGahey played a ball into his wicket when within five of his hundred run?, and was last man out; he was batting for three hours and ten minutes. Kent only had to make 46 runs. E s se x .
