GLOUCESTERSHIRE . WEEK-END CBICKET. Played at Edgbaston on July 22, 24 and 25 and won by Warwickshire by seven wickets. On the first day, when about 12,000 were present, Gloucestershire were seen to advantage. Thanks to an excellent and flawless innings of 113 by Board, who hit fifteen 4*s, the batsmen were always, to some extent, on top of the bowling, although Foster's five wiekets cost only 15 runs each. Dipper helped to make 111 for the first wicket, and Barnett scored 53 but showed no enterprise. Foster did a sporting thing when he declared the Warwickshire innings when the side were only 51 runs on, and he had his reward. Stephens and Charlesworth added 96 for the second wicket, and Quaife subsequently played a faultless innings of 104 not out, in which were ten 4’s. Foster ran up 56 in 45 minutes and Crawford 40 in half-an-bour. Gloucestershire were rather disappointing when they w-ent in the second time and were beaten by seven wickets. Foster again batted brilliantly, and, hitting two 6’ s and fourteen 4’s, claimed 87 of the 117 added for the third wicket with Quaife in 65 minutes. Score and analysis :— CRICKET IN SCOTLAND.

The international match between the Gentlemen of Scotland and the Gentlemen of Ireland ended in a draw in favour of the Irishmen, who would probably have won but for interruptions on account of rain on the first two days. The Irishmen were un­ doubtedly the superior side in all departments of the game, but especially in bowling. Not one of their bowlers accomplished any­ thing noteworthy, but they were far ahead of the Scots, of whom only J. Storrie gave the batsmen any trouble. In fielding both sides did excellent work, though pride of place must be given to G. J. Meldon, than whom perhaps no finer cover-point has ever been seen in Scotland. The batting, taking it all through, was exceedingly good, and though the Irishmen got most runs, it must be remem­ bered that they had the weaker bowling to face and somewhat the better of the conditions. The Hon. H. G. H. Mulholland, the Cambridge blue, who was not included in the original team, had the highest innings of the match. At times his driving was magnificent, and in his total of 149 were five sixes. Still, R. H. Lambert was no whit behind him, and his century was a fine exhibition of rapid run- getting. He took plenty of risks but made only one mistake— a hard chance to the wicket-keeper at 30. By comparison the Scottish* batting was tame, but it was made quite apparent that there are some very capable batsmen in the country. They lack the confidence and freedom of the Irishmen, a defect which a little more experience of this class of cricket would soon remove. The attendance at the match was disappointing and the receipts are not likely to pay expenses. Many a match between Uddingston and Drumpellier has drawn three times the crowd. The eleven to represent Scotland against the Indians at Galashiels on 3rd, 4th and 5th August was chosen during the match but not made public. Professionals will be excluded. A match of outstanding interest was played at Uddingston on Saturday between Uddingston and Perthshire. The county club had suffered its only defeat so far from the “ villagers ” earlier in the season and were thus keen on winning the return match. The cricket was very slow, and the issue hung in the balance till J. L. Anderson and Benskin came together at the fall of Perthshire’s fifth wicket. Previously Uddingston had been dismissed for 118, and Perthshire had lost five wickets for 68, but these two batsmen knocked off the runs required for victory and were still together at the close. J. L. Anderson showed splendid form in making 61. J. A. Ferguson has had much to do with the success of Perthshire this year. His batting average must be well over the half century, and he sends down a very good ball. The Scottish selectors ought to give him his place against the Indians, against whom he will have the opportunity of playing in the Scottish Counties team. He is Scottish in all respects, except his birthplace. He was born at Liverpool, but he has learned all his cricket in Scotland and his sympathies are entirely with that country.
