Jessop; and the visitors were without their captain, Sir Archibald White, and Kilner, Bates and J. Tasker coming in. On Thursday, in a bitter wind, Drake and Hirst added 93 for the fourth wicket; and Oldroyd, very slow again, Booth, Haigh, and Dolphin all did something useful. Gloucestershire lost 4 for 33 before call of time; but on Friday Langdon and Sewell played up finely. While his captain hit in brilliant form, making his faultless 65 in 70 minutes, the professional played steadily, and the fifth wicket added 91. Once Sewell was out Langdon forced the pace, and made his last 46 in about half the time it had taken him to score his first 50. He hit eleven 4’s, and had rough luck in missing a century. When Yorkshire went in again Rhodes and Wilson played all the bowling with the greatest ease and freedom, and put up 197 for the first wicket in about 130 minutes. No chance was offered during their partnership, and Wilson, who can hit when he will, though often he will not, scored the faster of the two, Rhodes batting 25 minutes longer than he. Wilson hit eleven 4’s, Rhodes seven. When Friday’s play ended the visitors were 346 ahead, and 84 more were added on Saturday before a declaration was made, Gloucestershire thus being set 431 to win. This would be an impossible task for a stronger batting side; but the home team fought hard for a draw, and were not all out till past S-3°. Dipper batted nearly 2J hours for 38, and Green nearly 1}2 hours for 33. Yorkshire won by 230 runs. First Innings. Y orkshire . Second Innings.

The Bath public in general stayed at home on Monday, only a thousand or so visiting the ground. Somerset lacked P. R. Johnson and B. L. Bisgood among others. A trial was given to P. W. Vasey, a master at K ing’s School, Bruton. On a fast, true wicket Somerset cut up badly. Not one man made 20. Over an hour had passed before a ball reached the boundary. Braund’s dismissal was brought about by a really great running catch by Booth at fine leg. Drake finished off the innings by getting the last 4 wickets for 4 runs in 27 balls. Yorkshire’s display was not a great one, though they wound up the day with 58 runs on and 4 wickets in hand. Rhodes and W’ilson put up 53 for the first wicket, but three men were out by the time 72 was reached; and Hirst alone did much thereafter. Batting in capital style, he was not out with 40 at the close. Next morning he left for 58. The only stand after that was made by Booth and Haigh, who added 93 for the ninth wicket. Robson, himself a Yorkshireman, bowled steadily and w ell; but J. C. White did not show anything like his Whitsun form. In hopeless arrears of 199 Somerset collapsed com­ pletely. Bajana batted an hour for 22, but the rest did nothing, and the last four wickets all fell at 67. Booth bowled in great form, and Drake again had flattering figures. Yorkshire thus won by an innings and 132 runs. BLANCO For Cleaning and Whitening White Buckskin and Canvas Shoes, Cricket Pads, and all other articles of a similar nature.
