Gentlemen of Kent had Aylward and Bullen as given men; MCC had Beldham and Fennex as given men. Britcher supplies the initial for ‘Brown’, appearing for Kent in this match. This is likely to be the player of this name who appears for East Malling around this time, who has been identified as W.Browning. Cambridge alumni gives Beauclerk’s full name as Frederick de Vere Beauclerk, but this is not confirmed by other sources. The match began the same day the previous one ended. 152
