Cricket 1885

382 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. s e p t . 3, isse. KENT y. MIDDLESEX. The Kent eleven,who have shown excellent crioket this summer, brought the season to a successful close at Mote Park, Maidstone, on Saturday, defeating Middlesex after a good finish with four wickets to spare. Heavy rain early on Thursday morning affected the ground materially, and it was never at any period very easy. Middlesex winning the toss went in first, and made a respectable total of 187. For this they were mainly indebted to the excellent cricket of Mr. Buckland, and the extraordinary hitting of Mr. W. J. Ford. The latter, who has not been seen in the Middlesex eleven for some time, hit in sensational fashion. Indeed he was only at the wickets seventeen minutes for his forty-four, which contained, in addi­ tion to a big off drive for six, four fours. The chief feature of the first innings of Kent was the admirable batting of Messrs, Tonge and Patterson. The former, a young player of great promise, showed excellent cricket. He was in two hours and twenty minutes for his 54. Mr. Patterson went in second wicket down with the score at 23, and was eighth out at 173. Of the 150 runs made while he was in 84 were from his bat, and he only gave one chance, to short leg, when he had made 60. Middlesex, 6 runs behind on the first innings, began their second in a very unfortunate manner. Mr. Christopher- son bowled with remarkable success, and four of the best wickets of Middlesex, Messrs. Buckland, O’Brien, Hadow and Webbe, all from his delivery, were out at eleven. Mr. Ford, however, again came to the relief of his side with some dashing play. He hit with even greater vigour than on the first day, contributing 75 of the next 90 runs in forty-five minutes, scoring of a most ex­ traordinary character. Hi3 figures consisted of one six, fourteen fours, a two, and eleven singles. Mr. Robertson and Burton put on 42 runs for the last wicket, and the total reached 143, a better result than at one time seemed likely. Mr. Christopherson’s fast bowling proved very effective. He took seven of the ten wickets at a cost of 73 runs. On Saturday morning, though Kent had only 83 runs to get to win with nine wickets to fall, the Middlesex eleven played up so well that the game grew very interesting. Four wickets were down for 82, and there seemed just a chance that Middlesex might win. Frank Hearne and Mr. Rashleigh, however, then got together, and their part­ nership, whioh resulted in an addition of 52 runs, decided the match. The youngamateur, who had played thoroughly good cricket, was in two hours and three quarters for his 59. Frank Hearne’s 29 not out was also an ex­ cellent display. M iddlesex . First Innings.

Gloucestershire had an easy victory in its return match with Somersetshire, the second fixture of the Taunton week, winning on Friday afternoon with nine wickets to spare. Rain was falling up to ten o’clock on the first morning, and tho wicket was consequently not altogether^in the best condition for bati­ ng. Somersetshire won the toss, but Mr W . G. Grace and Woof bowled so well that no change was required, and Messrs. Leeston- 8mith and Challen, the only batsmen to get double figures, contributed 76 out of 98 from the bat. Though in a minority of 137 runs, when they went in again a much better show was made. Mr. Challen a second time played good cricket, and Messrs. Roe and Hewett hit in brilliant style. Mr. Roe’s 76 included eleven, Mr. Hewett’s 66 twelve fours. Gloucestershire had 110 to win when they began their second innings, and these were got in just over an hour, Mr. Brain carrying out his bat for a well-hit 66. S om ersetshire . First Innings.
