G L O U C E S T E R S H IR E . Played at Nottingham on July 23. 24 and 25. Gloucestershire won by 60 runs. John Gunn made his first appearance for the home side since Whit-week, and Jessop, who had not played earlier in the week against York­ shire, again took the field. When Gloucestershire had lost three wickets for 29 Jessop went in, and quickly altered the aspect of the game. After being missed by Clifton at mid-off when 32, he reached 52 out of 54 in half-an-hour, and, in all, scored 75 out of 80 in 65 minutes, hitting nine 4’s. He scored 41 out of 43 for the fourth wicket, 16 out of 17 for the fifth, and 18 out of 20 for the sixth. Winstone, who drove we], made 40 in an hour and a-half, and with Dennett and Mills reaching double figures the innings realised 175. Hallam, despite the fact that he was punished for 42 by Jessop, took six wickets for 79 runs. Against Dennett and Ford runs came slowly, and George Gunn and Jones took 40 minutes to make 31 for the first w icket; the latter was then caught at slip off a skyer. L. staff, Payton, and John Gunn left in quick sue cession, and at the end of the day, as the result of two hours and a quarter’s play, five wickets were down for 90. George Gunn’s 34 was very valuable, but it was marred by two chances. On Friday the last five wickets went down for 39 in 65 minutes, Dennett taking four of them for 13 runs. Notts, batted three hours and a-quarter for 129—a poor total, even allowing for the able manner in which Dennett bowled. When Gloucestershire went in the second time Salter and Godsell put on 45 for the first wicket in just under an hour, but Board was lbw. at 60, and at 70 Godsell was bowled. At this point Jessop went in, and, as in the first innings, hit successfully. Making 28 off two overs, he reached 50 out of 58 in 38 minutes, and, in all, scored 78 out of 86 in 63 minutes. He was not at his best, and was missed when 72 by Alletson off Ire­ monger, but he hit eight 4’s, and completed his thousand runs for the season. After his depar­ ture wickets fell rapidly, the eighth going down at 176. Upon Mills joining Langdon an unex­ pected resistance was made, the pair, in an hour and a-half, adding 92 for the ninth wicket. At the end of the day the score was 304 for nine wickets, Langdon being not out 92. In bowling Dripper Wass obtained his 100th wicket of the season. On the third morning only 4 were added before the last wicket fell. Langdon, after bat­ ting three hours, carried out his bat for 92, which included six 4’s. Notts, were set the heavy task of getting 355 to win in five hours. George Gunn played a very sound and attractive innings, and for a time was well supported, Jones helping him make 60 for the first wicket and Hardstaff 42 for the second. He reached 50 out of 84 in 100 minutes, and altogether batted 100 minutes for 65. The seventh wicket fell at 126, and an easy win for the visitors appeared probable. Iremonger, Oates, and Hallam, how­ ever, caused a lot of trouble, and Gloucestershire won by only the skin of their teeth, Wass being bowled in what would in any case have been the last over of the day.
