Peel was responsible for the dismissal of the Gloucestershire team in two hours for the small total of 72, and he had the remarkableanalysis of seven wickets for 27 runs. Yorkshireshowedu p muchbetter whenthey went in and nine of the eleven got double figures , Peel (51 ) and Hall (49) showing up the best . Gloucestershire again m a d e a disastrous start , losing Messrs . E. M. Grace, Pullen , and Radcliffe for 19 runs . Messrs . W. G. Grace (98) and Cranston (152 ), however , made a great stand , and were not parted until as many as 188 had been added . Neither of these famous batsmengave a single chance , and Dr. Grace was unfortunate in beingout 1 bwjust as he seemedcertain of his hundred. T h eresult wasa fine total of 341 , leaving Yorkshire 205 to win. This , although the earlier batsmen played fairly well , proved to be beyond their powers, and as Woofbowled so successfully that the Yorkshiremen could only get 120, Gloucestershire w o n by 84 runs . Gloucestershire , 72 and 341 ; total , 413. Yorkshire , 209 and 120; total , 329. Peel(1st innings Gloucestershire) W o o f(2ndinnings Yorkshire) Overs. 2 9 . 2 2 7 1 8 1 7 M a i d e n s.

Thoughthere were seven double figures in the first innings , the total was only 160 , and Painter's 32 was the highest contribution . Helpedby the ground, W o o fand Roberts bowled with astonishing success whenNotts went in on the second day, and seven menwere actually out for 49 runs . Mr. Dixon andScotton , though, came to the rescue with an invaluable stand of 54 runs, saving the follow on, andcausing the total to ultimately reach 105. Gloucestershire did not fare so well at the second attempt , and but for Painter (62), who scored 94 runs in the matchinhis verybestform, wouldnothavegot100. Barnesbowledmostsuccess- fully , taking six wickets at a trifling cost . Notts were set 178 to win, and made60 for the loss of one batsman. Mr. W. G. Grace put himself on to bowl, however, andwith such success that the innings was finished off for 143. Mr. Dixon (30 and 42) played fine cricket each time for Notts . The fielding of the winning team was very true and good, and Mr. Grace did muchto determine the result . Gloucestershire won by 30 runs. Gloucestershire , 160 and 118 ; total , 278 .

Sussex was enabled to play Arthur Hide for the first time since the previous matchwith Gloucestershire ; but his presence did not affect the result . Winning the toss on a splendid wicket , Messrs . W. G. (46) and E. M. Grace (78) madea capital start , scoring 117 before the latter was out . Afterwards Painter (119 ), Mr. Townsend(85 not out), and Mr. Pullen (47) hit away at a great rate ; these being the chief contributors to Gloucester's fine total of 437. Mr. Pullen assisted Painter to make 112 for the fourth , and Mr. Townsendhelped Painter to add 117 for the fifth wicket . The professional , who was in for two hours and a half , hit all round with great resolution though he had two lives . Against this long score Sussex made but a moderate show, Messrs . Newham(61), and W. H. Andrews(44) being the only two to give much trouble . Following on, there wereno fewer than nine double figures in the second innings ; but nobodymade a very large score , and they just failed to reach the opposite total . Gloucester- shire wonby an innings and 5 runs . Gloucestershire , 437. Sussex , 183 and 249; total , 432.
