A ug . 2, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 311 GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. SOMERSET. Played at Bristol on July 26, 27 and 28. Somerset won by 212 runs. After Hodgkinson had been dismissed with only three runs scored, Braund and Martyn put on 48 for the second wicket before the latter was well caught at mid-off. At lunch time only two wickets were down for 98, but so well did Ford bowl after the in­ terval that, after lasting 190 minutes, the innings closed for 140. On a good wicket Ford took five of the last seven wickets for five runs in thirty-five balls, which is by far the best thing he has yet done in an important match. By tbe end of the day the home side had made 115 for three wickets, E. Barnett being 51 not out. On the following morning the last-named played his highest innings for the county, scoring 90 in 225 minutes. The last wicket added 19, and Gloucestershire were left with a lead of 74. The visitors did much better in their second innings, Martyn and Lewis scoring over 60 each, and four others reaching double figures before stumps were drawn. Martyn hit his 64 out of lOOin 75 minutes, and made ten 4’s, and,at one period of his partnership with Braund, helped to put on 50 in twenty-five minutes. Lewis batted for an hour and a-half, and, of the 95 added with Braund, claimed as many as 63. The last-named played a very patient innings, scoring 26 out of 140 in two hours and twenty minutes. Bo slow was he at times that the spectators became ironical. At the end of the day Somerset, with half their wickets in hand, were 176 runs on. On the third day Phillips and Poyntz added 105 for the sixth wicket in eighty minutes, and, Hodgkinson and W oods also doing well, Gloucestershire were left 345 to win. and 225 minutes in which to make them. Four wickets fell for 31, and no mastery was ever obtained over the attack. The Somerset men bowled and fielded very well indeed, and won easily by 212 runs. Score and analysis:— S omerset .

On the operiing day So m uch progress was made with thiS match that seventeen wickets went down for 366. Neither side was thoroughly representative, Lancashire being without Spooner, Kermode and Cuttell, and Essex taking the field with Perrin and W. M. Turner away. MacLaren was soon disposed of, but Tyldesley and Makepeace, whose debut it was for his county, put on 113 for the second wicket in 75 minutes. Tyldesley, who was badly missed when 12, reached 51 out of 58 in 35 minutes, and scored his 80 out of 113 in 75 minutes. He hit fourteen 4’s, and played an attractive game. Poidevin. after being missed by Douglas from the first ball he received, was third out at 123, whilst at 149 Make­ peace, after batting for 105 minutes, was disposed of tor a plodding innings of 49. At lunch four wickets were down for 153. After the interval three catches were missed in quick succession, and it was owing in a large measure to the blunders of the fieldsmen that the innings lasted 175 minutes and realised 219. Douglas met with much success as a bowler, his seven wickets costing just under ten and <vhalf runs each. By the end of tbe day Essex had lost seven wickets for 147 runs, being then 72 behind with three wickets in hand. The only player to obtain any mastery over the attack was Fane, who scored 68 out of 116 in an hour and a-half. His off-driving was very fine; he hit eight 4’s. On Friday rain limited play to about two hours and a-half, not a ball being bowled between 1.30and 5.40. The three outstanding wickets added 62, thanks chiefly to Benhara and Russell, who put on 48 for the ninth wicket in half- an-hour. Benham made some good drives, and hit six 4’s. Russell was sent back by means of an un­ usual catch, the ball passing 'from the wicket­ keeper’s glove through MacLaren’s hands at slip into those of Poidevin at second slip. Only ten runs divided the sides on the first innings, but Lan­ cashire, when they went in the second tijne, scored 5 1for the loss of Makepeace before rain came down. Tyldesley was second out at 57, but MacLaren remained to score 61 out of 89 in 70 minutes. The last-named, who hit nine 4’s and made some good hits, was beaten early in his innings by Mead, and was missed at slip when he had scored 15. Mead sent back Sharp and Harry in one over, and nine runs later—at 124—Hornby also was disposed of. At the end of the day Lancashire had made 130 for six wickets, being then 140 runs on with four wickets in hand. On the following morning, on a wicket which rain during the night caused to favour the bowlers, the last four wickets fell for 15 runs in eleven balls, Poidevin and Dean being dismissed by Mead with successive deliveries. Mead bowled very well indeed and thoroughly deserved his success. Essex were set 156 to win, and a fine struggle was seen. Fane, after being missed when 7 by Mac- Laren, foolishly ran himself out at 28, whilst at 36 Reece was bowled, and, with one run added, McGahoy played-on. Carpenter, who was making a sturdy resistance, then found a useful partner in Gillingham, who helped him to put on 34 for the fourth wicket. Carpenter made his valuable 33 in 70 minutes, and played a good game. The rest of the innings was noticeable for a fine display on the part of Gillingham, who scored 50 out of 105 in two hours and twenty minutes. He played a good game, but never really mastered the bowling. Had he made a few good hits during the latter portion of his innings, the result of the match might well have been reversed. Instead, however, he at one period allowed half-an-hour to elapse without making a run. The last six wickets fell to Harry for 15 runs, his analysis for the innings being seven for 58. It was clearly his bowling which enabled Lancashire to pull off the match by 13 runs Score and analysis:— L ancashire . E ssex . First innings. F. L.
