Cricket 1884

352 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. a u g . u , mm. THE CANTERBURY WEEK . KENT v. MIDDLESEX. The samo glorious weather which charac­ terised the opening of the forty-third Canterbury week, continued to the close on Saturday afternoon, when Middlesex were proclaimed the winners of the second match with five wickets to spare. Kent played the same eleven as that which had beaten the Australians in the previous fix­ ture, but Middlesex was only moderately represented in the absence of Mr. C. T. Studd from ill-health, the Hon. Alfred Lyttelton owing to professional duties, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. O’Brien. For the second time in the week Kent won the toss, and, singularly, their first innings realised exactly the same total as that against the Australians, 169, to which Messrs. Patter­ son and Mackinnon contributed 120. At the end of the first day Middlesex had made 86 for one wicket, but when play ■was resumed on the second morning, Wootton bowled with such success that the innings closed for 206, or only 37 to the good. Lord Harris played brilliant cricket when Kent went in a second time, and he scored 90 out of 163 while he was in. With the exception of Messrs. Patterson and Kemp, though, the rest of the eleven did little, and when the last wicket fell the total wa< 209. Middlesex were left with 173 to win, and this number was obtained for the loss of only five batsmen. Burton and Wootton both bowled well in the first innings of Kent and Middlesex, respectively, and their figures, considering the bad ground, were very creditable. K ent . First Innings.

The brilliant victory of Kent in the first match will make it historical, but the cricket throughout was all round exceptionally good, and the weather was, from first to last, so fine as to make the play thoroughly enjoyable. During the luncheon hour on Friday, Lord Harris presented to the four professionals, George, Frank and Alexander Hearne and Wootton, who had contributed so largely to the victory of the County against the Aus­ tralians, the sum of £80, collected on the ground for them. He stated that the col­ lection was the spontaneous action of Kent cricket enthusiasts, and not inspired by the County Club. In the large sum gathered, as much as five guineas was in pence, showing the high esteem in which the four players were held by every section of the cricket public. He spoke in laudatory terms of the excellent conduct of George Hearne, with whom he had played for ten years, his invariable good temper, whether losing or winning, and his invariable keen­ ness to uphold the credit of the county. He also spoke in an appreciatory manner of Frank Hearne and Wootton, counselling A. Hearne to follow the example of his brothers. CHATHAM HOUSE W A N ­ DERERS ’ KENT WEEK . CHATHAM HOUSE WANDERERS v.
