Gloucestershire won by 145 runs. On a soft, but Dot difficult wicket, Gloucester­ shire gave a disappointing display on Monday, and Wrathall was the only man on the side who dis­ tinguished himself. Worcestershire did much better, and five men made double figures. W. E. Hutchings, who is a brother of K. L.Hutchings, the Kent amateur, played the best innings of the day, making his 52 in an hour and ten minutes, and Wilson hit with vigour. With a balance against them of 80 Gloucestershire made 55 for two wickets before stumps were drawn. On Tuesday a considerable change was brought about in the fortunes of the game, and Gloucester­ shire who had been in a most unsatisfactory position overnight ended the afternoon with a very distinct advantage, for when stumps were drawn Worcester­ shire required 179 to win with only four wickets in hand. Jessop played one of his most characteristic innings and scored 52 in forty minutes, his hits in­ cluding a 6 , a 5, and seven 4’s. With nine wickets down the score was 287, but Dennett then joined Robinson, who had been playing uncommonly well, and the two men flogged the bowling, adding 72 runs before they were separated. Worcestershire had to make 280 to win, and fared so badly against the bowling of Huggins, that when the day’s play ended their total was only 101 for six wickets. Yesterday the end very soon came.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. Played at Northampton on July 3, 4 and 5. Surrey won by nine wickets. The first day’s play in this match went greatly in favour of Surrey, who, against a total of 141 by their opponents, scored 83 for the loss of one wicket before stumps were drawn. There was little life in the batting of the Northamptonshire men, who were all kept strictly on the defensive from the first, the total of 141 taking four hours to compile. Lees again bowled with great accuracy and steadiness. When Surrey went in the batting was much more attractive. Goatly and Hobbs put up 83 in the course of an hour, and at the end of the latter was not out 37. Surrey fared exceedingly badly for some time after the game was resumed on Tuesday, and eight wickets were down for the addition of 44 runs. This alteration in the state of affaire was brought about by some effectivebowling by Thompson. For­ tunately for Surrey Hayes still remained, and when he was joined by Lees the bowling was collared, 65 runs being made in thirty-five minutes. Hayes played a great game for his side, and he was batting for a couple of hours. Northamptonshire had to face a balance of 48, and when stumps were drawn they were only 95 runs on with a wicket in hand. Once more Lees showed what a fine bowler he is this year, and none of the batsmen ever began to master him. Yesterday Surrey had to make 105 to win, and after Lord Dalmeny had been caught at the wicket, Hayes and Hobbs hit off the runs in a little over three- quarters of an hour. At the end of his innings Hayes hit five consecutive 4’s off H. Kingston, and his entire innings of 69 included thirteen 4’s. N orthamptonshire , ttt tt inninSs- Second innings. W. H.

THE THIRD TEST MATCH. EIGHTEENTH OF THE TOUR. Played at Leeds on July 3, 4 and 5. Drawn. Opinion was by no means unanimous as to the wisdom of the choice of the English thirteen for this Match. As things turned out, the inability of Maclaren to play, an accident to Arnold’s knee, and an injury to Rhodes’ thumb made it necessary to bring Blythe, Warren and Haigh into the team, which thus possessed, two fast bowlers. On the other hand, the Australians, who were able to play their full strength, decided to dispense with fast bowling altogether, so that there was likely to be a fair opportunity of testing the question whether it was advisable or not to utilise fast bowling. For the third time in succession Jackson won the toss, not that his side reaped much benefit from winning the toss in the first two test matches. Nor was it clear lhat any advantage was to be gained on Monday by batting first, although it would have been a dangerous move to put the other side in. In the absence of Maclaren, Fry went in first with Hayward, whose judgment in running has never been his stronge-t point, and there would have been a catastrophe in the first few minutes of the match if Clement Hill, for once in his life, had not fumbled the ball a little. After this the two men settled down to play steady cricket, but Fry gradually began to feel his way and to make beautiful and well placed strokes. Fifty went up, and then, j ust when everybody was thinking that Fry was thoroughly in his stride he was caught at point at 51. This was the beginning of a series of disasters which made things look unoleasant for England. Tyldesley played on before he had scored, and Denton failed to time a ball from McLeod, while Hayward followed Tyldesley’s example and played on. Four wickets for 64. At this critical stage of the innings Hirst joined Jackson, who had hardly yet had time to get a sight of the ball. The two Yorkshire- men set themselves to place England in a better position, and, never taking any risks, remained together for a little over an hour, during which they increased the score by 69— a most useful stand which changed the fortunes of the game. By the time that the partnership was broken, Jackson h:id become exceedingly well set and capable of anything. Bosanquet, who joined him, contented him­ self with playing steady cricket, and the score was taken to 201 for the sixth wicket. Jackson still kept in, but it did not look as if m iny more runs would be scored, for England, for this occasion only it is to be hoped, had a decided tail. But Lilley, Haigh and Warren each remained for some time with Jackson, and although they made few runs themselves, they enabled him to increase the total with some rapidity. He was not out when the innings closed, having made 144, with practically no mistakes, in four hours and twenty minutes, the entire inuings of the side lasting for five hours and three-quarters. It was a magnificent effort, and worthy of the very highest praise, and but for his deter­ mination and pluck the score of his side might have hardly reached a hundred and fifty. His hits included eighteen 4’s. The innings of England came to an end just before the time for drawing stumps. The commcnce- mmt of the Australian innings on Tuesday showed that Warren was likely to be difficult, and neither Duff nor Trumper was comfortable with him. The wicket was better and the out­ field much faster than on Monday, and the
