GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. E?SEX. Played at Bristol on August 6 and 7. DENNETT TAKES ALL TEN WICKETS. Gloucestershire won by nine wickets. Rain during Sunday night caused the wicket to favour the bowlers, the result being that on the opening day as many as 24 wickets went down for 320 runs. The first innings of Essex was note­ worthy for the fine feat performed by Dennett in taking the whole of the wickets at a cost of only 40 runs. No one played him with any confidence, and the innings calls for no detailed description. In order to mark the occasion, a collection for Dennett was made round the ground, over £25 resulting. It may be observed, as a curiosity, that Roberts bowled throughout the Essex innings without obtaining a w icket W hen Gloucestershire went in, Jessop was the only player to meet with much success ; he scored 75 out of 125 in ninety minutes, hitting eight 4’s,and being eighth out at 163. He was twice favoured by fortune, being let off by Gillingham when, 60, and by A. J. Turner when 68. In the innings of 173 Douglas did well by taking half the wickets for 50. Before play ceased for the day Essex lost 4 wickets in their second innings for 63, and were then 26 runs behind with 6 wickets in hand. During the day Dennett claimed 13 of the 14 wickets lost by his opponents. On the following m orning the innings was quickly finished off for 127, and Gloucestershire, set only 39 to win, obtained that number for the loss of Sewell’s wicket. In the whole match Dennett took 15 wickets for 88. Score and analysis E s s e x . First innings. Second innings. F. L.

From the very first ball of the match Tarrant was caught at the wicket off Lewis, who thereby com­ menced a long series of bowling successes. Douglas and Beldam remained together fifty minutes, what time 59 runs were put on, the latter altogether batt­ ing for a couple of hours for his 48. Half the side were out for 130, but Colbeck hit well, and claimed 46 of the 60 added in forty minutes with Harrison for the sixth w icket; he hit a six (over the Pavilion) and six 4’s. In the innings of 239 Lewis took seven wickets for 52—a capital performance. Some fine hitting was seen when the home side went in, Martyn, who hit seven 4’s in his 43, helping Johnson to make 85 for the first wicket in sixty-five minutes. By the end of the day Somerset, without further loss, had scored 116, being then 123 behind with nine wickets in hand. On Tuesday Johnson and Robson remained together until the second wicket had added 97 in eighty minutes, the former, who hit eight 4’s, being then sent back for a faultless innings of 79, made out of 182 in one hundred and forty-five minutes. Robson, who scored his first 50 of the season, and drove with great power, made 89 out of 144 in one hundred and ten minutes, hitting fourteen 4’s. The majority of the other playerR made useful scores, with the result that the home side could claim a lead of 138 on the first innings. Before play ended for the day MiddJesex practically lost all chance of drawing the game. Their first 5 wickets went down in an hour for 50. and, although Hearne stayed with Douglas whilst 53 runs were added without a separation being effected, Middlesex, when stumps were drawn, were still 35 behind with 5 wickets in hand. Yesterday Hearne was soon sent back, and Douglas, after batting for two hours and a-half, was seventh out at 166 for an admirable 92. which contained twelve 4’s. Beldam and Douglas put on 54 in 45 minutes for the seventh wicket, and the former and Mignon 45 in half-an-hour for the last. Beldam batted 100 minutes for his 42, and it is to be regretted that, owing to indisposition, he was prevented from going in in his usual place on the previous day. Set 92 to win, Somerset, by fine cricket, succeeded in obtaining that number without loss, winning by ten wickets- Score and analysis M id d le se x . First innings. Second innings. J.

In splendid weather, as many as 23,706 paid for admission on the first day to do honour to Tyldesley, the finest batsman the county has ever had. In addition, a collection round the ground realised £124. The cricket at times was decidedly slow, and only 291 runs were scored during the whole day, play ceasing when the last Yorkshire wicket fell. The outstanding feature of the day’s cricket was the batting of Tunnicliffe, who made his 82 out of 187 in one hundred and ninety minutes without a mistake. He hit thirteen 4’s, and with Rhodes made 21 for the first wicket, with Denton 75 for the second, and with Jackson 56 for the third. Denton, hitting eight 4’s, made his 44 out of 75 in sixty-five minutes, but was missed when 18, whilst Jackson, who scored 31, was let off at 14. Taylor made a very useful 31, and, Sedgwick and Hunter putting on 46 for the last wicket in seventy minutes, the innings, after lasting five hours and a-half, closed for 291. On Tuesday. 18,655 paid to witness the cricket, which was continued in splendid weather. MacLarenwas disposed of in Sedgwick’s first over, with only 6 runs scored, whilst at 36 Spooner was bowled by Hirst. Poidevin and Tyldesley then added 72 for the third wicket in an hour, the majority of the runs coming from the bat of the latter, who scored his 65 out of 115 in one-hundred minutes by vigorous cricket, hitting nine 4’s. The remainder of the innings was marked by a fine display on the part of Sharp, who, hitting eight 4’s, scored 84 out of 150 in a hundred and forty minutes by faultless cricket. He made strokes all round the wicket, and, with Findlay, put on 46 for the seventh wicket, and, with Cuttell, 49 for the eight. Hirst did well to obtain 5 wickets at just over 13 runs apiece in an innings of 280. Yorkshire fared so badly upon going in the second time that, before stumps were drawn, they lost 5 wickets in ninety minutes for 77, being then only 88 runs on with half their wickets in hand. Rhodes left at 20, Tunnicliffe at 33, Denton at 42, Jackson at 46, and Taylor at 72, the only hope left for the visitors being centred in Hirst, who was left not out with 25 to his name. On the third morning, on a wicket affected by rain, Hirst and Hunter resumed and put on 31 for the sixth wicket ere the latter was bowled. Four runs later W ilkinson was sent back by Poide- vin’s seventh catch in the match, and shortly after­ wards Hirst reached his 50 out of 67 in 90 minutes. Smith, after being missed when three, helped Hirst to add 64 in 65 minutes before the latter was caught at slip for a splendid innings of 84, which took two hours and a-half to compile and contained eight 4’s. The last few wickets gave little trouble, and Lanca­ shire were left 230 miuutes in which to get 205 to win. MacLaren was out to Rhodes’ fourth ball, Spooner was sent back at 36, Poidevin and Sharp at, 41, Tyldesley at 47, and Harry at 52. Cuttell and Dean pluckily added 29 for the ninth wicket, but Yorkshire won easily by 107 runs. Rhodes bowled capitally, and took half the wickets for 49 runs. Score and analysis Y o r k sh ir e .
