314 CRICKET. A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. aug . e, isss. |’£TTTrp nxn rrcr/voMcr •>.r' «n^r'^pvf'v^ T H E C A N T E R B U R Y W E E K . KENT v. YORKSHIRE. Rain unfortunately interfered materially with the progress.of the first fixture of this year’s Canterbury week, and the game was drawn yesterday afternoon. It was the first appearance of the Yorkshire eleven at Can­ terbury, and as a consequence the match was invested with particular interest. With the exception that Pentecost had to take the wicket in place of Mr. M. C. Kemp, Kent had its full strength, and the re-appearance of Lord Harris, who has been able to play very little this season in the County eleven, was the subject of general congratulation. Kent won the to3s and made such a capital show that at the end of the day only seven wickets had fallen for 269 runs. George Hearne and Mr. Mackinnon put on 107 runs for the second wicket, and subse­ quently Mr. Patterson and Lord Harris added G5runs. The best cricket of the day was shown by Mr. Patterson. He went in second wicket down at 131 and was not out till the second morning. He had made G7 out of 143 runs while in, and by the very best cricket. Heavy rain on Tuesday prevented a commencement until after two o’clock, and batting on a drying wicket Yorkshire found the 312 of Kent a very difficult task. Ulyett, indeed, was the only one able to play Mr. Christopherson and Wootton with any confi­ dence, and going in first he was ninth out, having contributed 77 out of 130 by most brilliant cricket. Owing to very heavy rain, play could not be resumed yesterday again till nearly three o’clock, and the game was ultimately drawn, Yorkshire, with six wickets to fall, Jaeing 75 runs behind. Hall was at the wickets two hours and three- quarters yesterday afternoon for his score of twelve not out. So far the week despite the rain has been successful, and if the weather only holds up, with such an attraction as M.C.C. and Ground v. Kent for the last three- day fixture, the annual festival bids fair to equal the best of its predecessors. K ent . F. Heame, c Hunter, b Bates ..................18 Mr. F. A.

After three days of interesting cricket the second match of the season between these Counties ended, like its predecessor, yester­ day at the Oval, in a drawn game. Maurice Read reappeared in the Surrey eleven, but Wood’s hand had not got sufficiently well to allow him to play, and the team were con­ sequently without a wicket-keeper. On the other hand, Alfred Shaw, owing to a sprained leg, was absent from the Nottinghamshire eleven, Bean, who is engaged in Sussex, taking his place. Unfortunately, too, for Surrey,' who have been unlucky in the way of accidents lately, Mr. Key trod on the ball soon after the commencement of the play, and, though he continued to field till the afternoon, had at. last to leave. He had sprainrd his ankle badly, aud Was unable to play after tho first day, so that Surrey lost the services of one of its best batsmen, Notts won the toss and Scotton and Shrews­ bury put on 83 runs before the former was bowled. At the end of the first day the score was 2G3 for nine wickets, and at this total the innings closed on the following morning. Surrey had a very unlucky com­ mencement, Messrs. Bainbridge, Shuter and Roller being all caught at the wicket by Sherwin, who kept in brilliant style. Six wickets were down for 127, and with Mr.Key absent and 57 still wanted to save the follow-on, it lookfd as if Surrey would have to go in a second time. Mr. Read and Lohmann, however, entirely altered the aspect of the game. During their partnership, as many as 96 runs were added, and too much praise cannot b3 given to Lohmann for his steady and good cricket at a critical time. Mr. Read was well caught from a hard hit at mid-off. He had made 135 out of 221 runs while he was in, and there was not the semblance of a chance in his long innings. Grand cricket as he has shown throughout the season, he has never been seen to better advantage than on this occasion. His figures were twenty-one fours, three threes, ten twos, and twenty-one singles. Rain interfered a little with the game yester­ day, though it apparently hardly affected the wicket at all. Notts did not do so well as in the first innings, and the best stand of the innings was by the two last batsmen, Gunn and Sherwin, who put on 58 runs, the latter hitting very freely. Surrey would have had to go in to make 222 runs to win. Jones made his first appearance tlais year in the Surrey eleven in this match. His inolusion in tlie team proved judicious as he bowled with considerable success, and also batted in very fair form. N otts . First Innings.

This is, we should 0ay, by far the largest attendance ever recorded in a County match in London. GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. SOMERSET­ SHIRE. Gloucestershire had a very decisive victory in their first match of the season against Somersetshire, finished at Moreton- in-tho-Marsh yesterday. Mr. E. W. Bastard was unable to help Somersetshire, and his bowling was sadly missed. Gloucestershire, who won the toss, were not dismissed until the second morning, the tenth wicket falling at 448. Eight batsmen got double figures, though the chief contributors were Mr. Pago and Painter. The latter hit very hard, but the best show was that of Mr, Page, the Oxford Captain, who displayed excellent cricket throughout, and only gave one chance, and that when he had made 95. His figures were one four, ten threes, twenty-eight twos, and twenty-six singles. This is the first innings of three figures Mr. Page, we believe, has ever played. Somersetshire when they went in offered a poor resistance to the bowling of Mr. Page and Woof, and Glou­ cestershire at the finish were able to claim a hollow victory by an innings and 268 runs.
