Cricket 1884

318 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. IJULY 31, 1884. formation is correct, but the state­ ment that Messrs. W. W. Read and Diver are expected to join the party is, to say the least of it, premature. Indeed, I have reason to believe that the announcement of their names is altogether unauthorised. S o m e noteworthy hitting was wit­ nessed at Southampton last week after the conclusion of the match between Surrey and Hants. After the match had been won the game was continued and some of the Surrey eleven went in to bat with a full field. Messrs. Shuter, Diver and Boiler all did some good big hitting, but the palm was carried off by Mr. Boiler, who scored 24 in an over of six balls. C om p td . Most in Innings Buns. Innings Ayge. A. G.

The Philadelphians ^suffered * another reverse on Satitrday last, when they were beaten by the Gentlemen of Kent with six wickets to spare. In their first innings they made only a moderate show, but in the follow-on they were seen to better advantage, and Scott, Thayer, and Stoever did their best to avert defeat. Lowry took eight of the fourteen Kentish wickets, but at a rather heavy cost. This was the seventeenth match of the Philadelphian tour. Their record now shows eight wins, four drawn games, and five defeats. Score G e n t l e m e n o f K e n t . Firrt Innings. Second Innings. F. A. Mackinnon, c McNutt, b Lowry .. : .. .. 84 A. J.

Kent won its first match of the season against Surreyat Maidstone, on Tuesday last, with eight wickets to spare. The ground had been seriously affected by the heavy rain of late, and Lord Harris winning the toss sent Surrey to the wickets. The policy proved successful, and the bowling of Mr. Lipscomb and Wootton was so effective that the innings was over in less than an hour-and-a-lialf for a poor total of 44, to which Mr. Bead was the chief contributor with nine. A finely hit 66 by Lord Harris gave Kent a lead of 96 on the first innings, and Surrey going in again in a bad light had lost four good wickets for 52 when play ceased. Chiefly through the ex­ cellent cricket of Read, and the free hitting of Mr. Key, Kent were put in to make 79 to win, and though two wickets were down for four, Lord Harris and Mr. Wilson soon knocked off the remaining runs. The Kentish victory was mainly due to Lord Har­ ris and Wootton. The former made 101 runs in the match for once out and tbe latter took eleven wickets (nine bowled) for 92 runs. 0 et.Morgan,bLowry 0 69 stMorgan,bLowry 20 8 not o u t.................. 0 R. B.
