Longford , b Moon Jeffery won the toss , and elected to take first knock , sending to the wickets Freeman and Thomas . A disastrous start was made , as in the third over of the match Thomas was smartly caught off his glove by the wicket keeper standing back . This made room for Jeffery , who started carefully , but in the aucceeding over he made a boundary hit . With 22 runs on the board he was caught out in attempting another big hit . Freeman soon followed him to the pavilion- 22-8-7 . Montgomery joined Abbott , and began to play himself in , only to soon lose his partner . Wilden was the next batsman , and the pair exercised praiseworthy restraint at a critical time against some accurate bowling . Montgomery eventually got the measure of the bowling , and , opening his shoulders , forced the ball to the boundary on two occasions . The score gradually mounted up , and a change of bowling took place . Downing , a tricky trundler , relieved Lawson , and with his third ball deceived Wilden , 58-5-5 . West appreciated the new bowler and rapidly collected 14. Montgomery's fine display ended at 89 , as with a hard return to the bowler he was well taken by Lawson , though at the expense of a split finger . The next two wickets fell cheaply , but on Battersea joining Lovelace the latter execut- ed several lovely drives past cover point , and it was not before the score had been increased by 30 runs that Lovelace was caught by the wicket keeper for a stylish contribution of 28 runs . The last wicket had put on a very useful 80 runs . The fast bowling of the homesters helped the score on by 21 extras , so that the innings terminated for the capital total of 182. Stroud opened their venture against the bowling of Mont- gomery and Battersea , and a sensational opening was made , the Stroud captain being clean bowled by Montgomery for a cipher . The next three wickets fell cheaply , and things looked black for Stroud with the When score board telegraphing 18-5-7 . Poole became associated with Huggins , a different complexion was put on the game . Huggins laid on the wood to some purpose , and in his well merited score of 81 , there May 16. - Froome Valley , away were no less than five 4's . Young was tried May 23. - Gloucester Nondescripts , home as a bowler , and he soon had Poole in difficulties , clean beating him when that bats- May 30. - Chepstow , away man had previously put together a careful 28 runs . Downing , a young collegian , gave some trouble , but the innings eventually May terminated with a well deserved win for Ross with 22 runs to spare . LYDBROOK . DANCE . An invitation dance took place in the Church Parish Room , on Tuesday , April 28th , which was decorated for the oc- casion . About 80 attended , including several from Goodrich and Ross , and a very pleasant time was spent . Yorkes ' Band was in attendance , and the duties of M.C. were well carried out by Mr. M. Brain . COLLIERY FATALITY . - A TERRIBLE FATE . The hope was confidently expressed on Tuesday morning that the body of Henry Charles , who lost his life on Sunday in the Waterloo Colliery at Lydbrook , would be re- covered during the day . Deceased was the leading pumpman , and was superintending the removal from the shaft of some pumping pipes and plant , a new installation having been already laid down . Something went wrong , and a quantity of ironwork crashed down the pit on top of deceased , who at the moment was a considerable distance below , and who was carried along with it to the bot- tom . The falling material crashed right through the timber covering the pump , and with the body of Charles lay deep in a great quantity of water . Two other men are stat- ed to have had a remarkable escape . As soon as possible help was secured , and steps taken for the recovery of the body , but it was necessarily a difficult and somewhat slow task . Charles is a married man with five children . His home is in the neighbour- hood of Lydbrook , and he is stated to belong to Cheltenham . Although " Waterloo " is the local name given to the colliery , its offi- cial name is " Albert and Edward , It is the property of the Lydney and Crump Meadow Colliery Company , and has been de- veloped with the view to reaching the fam- ous steam coal seam which lies underneath the veins of Forest house coal . The manag- ing director is Mr. J. Hale , whose sons ( Mr. Alfred and Mr. Charles ) are manager and secretary respectively .

Trial and experience are the touch- stones of merit . From time to time all sorts of medicines have been put before the public , and the names of most of these are long forgotten , but Bescham's Pills , which have been in over - increasing use among all classes of society for three generations , have a greater popularity to - day than ever . Over 6,000,000 boxes are sold annually . Think what these figures signify ! Could this remedy have so extraordinary a sale if it did not supply a real need , -if it was not of genuine worth , ifit did not perform what is promised ? A reliable preparation of the most efficacious and carefully selected ingredients of vegetable origin , these pills are of unequalled value for the relief and cure of those digestive irregularities which appear as billons- ness , constipation , flatulence , failing ☐ appetite , dyspepsia , headache , and the depressed conditions of mind and body that accompany such disorders . When- ever you need a corrective medicine , as everyone does at times , you should take Beecham's Pills . Prepared only by Thomas Beecham , St. Helens , Lancashire . Sold everywhere in boxes , price 1/1 ( 56 pills ) & 2/9 ( 168 pills ) . |
