SUSSEX v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Bristol on August 1, 2 and 3. Gloucestershire won by 168 runs. Gloucestershire placed their strongest available team in the field for this match, C. L. Townsend, F. H. B. Champnin, C. O. H. Sewell, and W. 8. A. Brown all making their first appearance this season. Ranjitsinhji wasnot playing for Sussex, and Newham replaced Brann. Gloucestershire batted first on a wicket which helped the bowlers, and lost four wickets for 50 runs. Afterwards Board and Brown­ lee played well, and the total of the innings was moderately good, although it did not seem that Sussex would have any difficulty in beating it. But unhappily for tbem Fry is not in his best form just now, and with Kanjitsinhji away as well their batting was not particularly strong. Moreover Vine, for once, failed completely, and Huggins met with astonishing success for Gloucestershire, and before stumps were drawn he took all the seven wickets which fell, and bad only 16 runs hit off him. It was a brilliant performance. Thanks chiefly to him the Sussex total was only 60 at ihe end of the day, so that they were still 112 runs behind. The three remaining wickets added 30 runs, and Huggins came out with the splendid analysis of nine wickets for 34. With a lead of 82 Gloucestershire did fairly well in their second innings, although only three men made good scores. Sewell and Brown put on 76 for the third wicket in fifty-five mmutes. During the day Belf was absent owing to a family bereavement. Sussex had to make 310 to win, and as they lost Fry for six runs their chances of pulling off the match were small, before the day’s play ended half the side were out for 69. Newham, who was not out 9, was batting for nearly three-quarters of an hour. Yesterday, with Relf absent, Sussex never looked like making the runs, and although Newham, Leach, and Butt played well, Gloucestershire won with the greatest ease. G lo u c e ste r sh ir e .

YORKSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. h ir s t ’ s b e n e f it m a t c h . Played at Leeds on August 1, 2 and 3. Drawn. 1 he weather on Bank Holiday was perfect, the rivalry between Yorkshire ard Lancashire very keen, and the proceeds of the match were to be given to so popular a professional than an enormous crowd, estimated at forty thousand, atten ed at the Head- ingly Ground on ihe firht day of this match. On winning the toss for Lanca»>hir •Maclaren tojk the Id step of sending: his opponents in first, somewhat to their aurprise. But altnuugh the wicket was slow, it was never very difficult, and the Yorkshiremen, for ihe most part showing discretion rather than enterprise, kept at the wickets all day, losing seven men for 274. v\iikin-ton played an admirable inuing*. in which def-nce was a prominent feature. Tunnicliffe pi yed well, and occasionally hit hard, and Hirst had ttie ple»sure of making a fine score in his own benefit match, thus differing from most other players who have had tenefit mitches. but despite tbe effort of these inen half the side were out for 14>. aud another wicket ought to have fallen imme- d ateiy afterwards, for Ernest Smith was missed at the commencement of his inniogs. But he and Lord Hawke then settled down to play excellent cricket, and as Smith was in brilliant form and was also in luck’s way as regards mistakes m the field, tbe score was increased to the ex ent of 65 runs in less than an hour tefore stumps were drawn, neither of the two men being out. Un Tuesday morning, Lord Hawke and Smitu made runs fast, and it was not until the partnership had yielded 130 runs iu an hour and three-quarters that they were separated, Smith being then dismissed when within two runs of his hundred ; he was batting for two hours and three-quarters. Lord Hawke followed him immediately afterwards, having made 6* by first-rate cricket. The innings was by no means over, for Myers and Hunter added 61 run* for th-- 1tst wicket. Lancashire went in three minutes before lunch, and an over was bowled by Myers to oiaclaren. When the game was resumed Hirst delighted the vast crowd which had assembled ty dismissing Spooner and Tyldesley in successive overs, and shortly afterwards getting rid of Maclaren when the total was only 9. Hallows and Poidevin held out for some time, but at 42 Hirst bowled H allow B, and at 43 Sharp was bowled Ly Haigh, s> that five wickets were down. Then at last the much needed Btand was made by Poidevin and Hornty, who took the score to 111 before they were parted. It would be difficult to speak too highly of the work of these two men under such trying conditions. Poide­ vin was batting for two hours and twenty minutes for his most useful 40. When stumps were drawn the total was 129 for six wickets, and tlornby was not out 42. As the weather was still perfect and the wicaei was more likely to improve than to deteriorate, it was generally felt that Lancashire would not have much difficulty in making a drawn game. But theie was another large crowd yesterday. Hornby still continued to play a methodical game, and there is no doubt that it was largely due to his plucky and stubcorn stand that victory was snatched out of the hands of the Yorkshiremen. He kept up his end for three hours and a half. As Lancashire were 23(J runB behind they were made to follow on, and before lunch they lost Findlay when 13 runs were on the board. But afterwards the prospects of victory for Yorkshire gradually faded away. Mac­ laren, not caring in the least how many runs he made as long as he could serve his side by keeping up an end, remained with Tyldesley for nearly an hour and-a-half, and when he was out his side was almost safe, although his own score was only five. Meanwhile Tyldes ey was playing a fine game, and receiving valuable assistance from Poidevin and Hallows he eventually reached his hundred, and the match was honourably drawn. Y o r k sh ir e . Hon.

THE LEICESTERSHIRE MATCH. ( s e v e n t e e n t h o f t h e t o u r .) Played at Leicester on August 1, 2 and 3. South Africans won by an innings and 1 run. The visit of the colonial team attracted a large crowd to the cricket ground on Monday. The visitors had very much the best of the fira day’s play, for after disposing of Leicestershire for 17 1 they made 208 for tne losa of only two wickets. Sinclair and Kotze both bowled remarkaly well. Tne South Africans lost ShalderB with the total at 6, but Tan­ cred ana Hathorn then took charge of the bowline and put on 181 in about two hours and a quarter before they were separated. Tancred played a beauti­ ful game and made his fourth hundred of the tour. When stumps were drawn Hathorn was still un- conquered with 82 to his credit. He increased his score by 46 on Tuesday, his entire innings having lasted for three hours and a-half, while his hits included twenty 4’s. Towards the end of the innings Halliwell and White played wonderfully good cricket and added 164 to the total for the eighth wicket. Halliwell was batting for an hour and three quarters for his brilliant 88. White played a very tine game. Leicestershire had to go in against a balance of 293, and De Trafford and Wood put up 8*1 for the tirst wicket in a little over three-quarters of an hour, and King, Coe and R. T. Crawfjrd also played well. But when stumps were drawn with the total at 199 five wickets were down, and nearly a hundred runs still required to save the innings defeat. Gill played a vigorous innings yesterday, and scored 62 runs in thirty-five minutes, but his aid- j ust failed to save the innings defeat. L eiceste r sh ir e . First innings. C. E.
