his status in the cricketing world, and ceased to play as an amateur, classing himself as a professional. Gilbert was on the list of Gloucestershire players in the match against Sussex, commencing on Monday. W. R. Gilbert was born in London on 16th September, 1853, and was not 20 when he first appeared as a representative for his shire at the wickets. His debut was, however, under the auspices of Middlesex, A trial in the colts’ match in 1873 left such a favorable impression on the minds of the Middlesex authorities that he was at once promoted - into the Eleven. During that and the following year he did good service for Middlesex. In 1874 he took up his residence in Gloucestershire to qualify for the country, and in that year made 254, not out, for Thornbury against Sneyd Dark. In 1876 he was duly installed as a member of W. G. Grace’s team, and has been a leading player ever since. Few cricketers have been more consistent in their play for a long period, and as an all-round player he has upheld a great reputation. His wicket is a difficult one to get, as he is a most useful batsman, and as a slow round-arm bowler is very effective, and he is a thoroughly good field.

A painful feeling of regret has been caused by the information of the arrest, upon such a charge, of a cricketer held in such high general^esteera.
