Cricket.

Ore thing in connection with the Gloucestershire
Eleven is indisputably brought to light whenever it
plays, and that is the still glowing p, polarity of the
Graces with the general public. During the course of
the season we are frequently treated to disparaging
remarks about these gentlemen which, if worthy the
trouble of the search, would, on investigation, be found
to emanate from some one affiietad with pereinel *Pito,
or else with • desire to attract notice by fair means or
foul. At Lord's last week, even amongst such fine
bats as the Middlesex Eleven possessed, W. G. Grace
stood out quite alone. Directly he 0001011 to the wickets
• new life 'seems to be infused Into the game. Who
does mot remember (for every ono was there) the
brilliant ber.,:nning of that fatal second innings of
England versus Australia last year, when W. G. and
Hornby it ile runs as merrily as though they were
playing "tip and run "at school? And (this to slow
music) who does not remember the funereal change
which came over the scene, and how men walked to
the wickets Like boys about to be whipped? When
the Grace family are on the scene the public are sure
to see cricket played with all the energy that can be
put into it. This the nubile gratefully recognises.
An amusing inebient in the second innings of
kliddlssex against (lloucesterahire. W. G. G., bow.
ling from the Nursery en.), rook two consecutive
wickets with the last two balls of an over. Keenly
desirous of performing the " lit trick " (must I tell
my readers that this is accomplished by taking three
wickets with three consecutive balls?), he crewed over.
But Mr. Gilbert, the bowler at the Pavilion end,
would not relinquish the ball without a show of resists
ance, and a mimic ohms@ was w tneseed ; Gilbert, with
the ball, ahead, and Grace after hint. After all, the
" hat trick " was not accomplished.— Worid.
