88a CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. SEPT. 2,1886. borough’s eldest son, and thus his one chance of playing for Cambridge was lost. Since that time, though he has not been able to play as often as could be desired, Mr. Wil­ son’s batting has been of great use to Kent. In 1883 he only took part in very few matches for the County and with little success, but in 1884 he was seen to better advantage, and his aggregate for eleven completed innings was 241, the chief item of which was his score of 60 against M.C.C. With the exception of one match for the Marylebone Club he was an absentee from first-class cricket last year, and his name does not appear at all in the tables of statistics in connectionwiththe Kent County Club. Tliis summer though he has been T>n several occasions of great use to Kent, and that he is just now in excellent form has been proved this week by his excellent score of 86 at Scarborough for I Zingari, of which illustrious fraternity he is a member, against the Gentle­ men of England. Mr. Wilson is an excellent bat. He plays very straight and hard, and is indeed very strong all-round. His best stroke is probably on his legs, in which particular point he very much resembles Mr. A. P. Lucas when in his best form. He is a good and sure field any­ where, having in addition a very good return. BURLINGTON WANDERERS v. RAVENS­ BOURNE. Played at Lee o n August 28.

After dome high scoring the thirty-first fixture of the Australian Team, played at Brighton on Thursday last and two following days, was left unfinished, the Australians being 148 on with three wickets to fall. The Australians won the toss, but with the excep­ tion of Mr. Giffen, who going in first was out eighth wicket with the total at 164, no long stand was made. Seven of the eleven got double figures, but the aggregate only reached 200, of which Mr. Giffen contributed 73—a capital innings, though he ought to have been caught at mid-on when he had made about 20. The early batsmen of the County showed to fair advantage, though the score was only 161 when the seventh wicket fell. Messrs. Brann and Lucas, however, defied all the changes of bowling tried by the Australian captain for the rest of the second day, and when play ceased on Friday the total had been exactly doubled—Mr. Lucas not out 81, Mr. Brann 104 not out. On Saturday morning the latter was out without increasing his total, and the innings closed for an addition of 30— Mr. Lucas carrying out his bat for 93. Mr. Brann, though he had some luck, hit with great vigour, and deserves high praise for his 104, which included one six, twelve fours, and thirteen twos. Mr. Lucas was batting al­ together for four hours and a half. He played sound cricket throughout, and his latest performance has added to an already high reputation. In his 93 not out were twelve fours. The Australians, who required 152 to save an innings defeat, went in a second time at 12.30 on Saturday. Mr; Giffen was bowled at 33, but Messrs. Palmer and Scott put on 79 for the second wicket, and helped by several mistakes in the field runs came fast during their stay. Mr. Palmer was missed three times, twice before he had made fifteen, but towards the finish his innings was a very fine one. Mr. Scott played excellent cricket, and most of the later batsmen scored well, Mr. Trumble carrying out his bat for a very well got 52. The batting, indeed, of the Australians was of a high class throughout. Altogether 852 runs were made in the match for twenty-seven wickets. A u str alia n s . F irst Innings.

After three days of high run-getting, this match was left undecided yesterday afternoon at Gravesend. The eleven which represented the South was a fairly good one, though by no means the best with Mr. W . G. Grace and other well-known amateurs absent. The Australians winning the toss were in all the first day, scoring 282 for seven wickets. All the seven batsmen got double figures, though th e chief features of the day’s play were th e exceptionally good cricket of Mr. Palmer, and the fine hitting of Mr. Bonnor. The former, who has been batting with great success just recently, was unlucky enough to be caught when only seven runs short of his hundred. He was in two hours and forty minutes, during which time he gave nothing like a chance. Mr. Bonnor got his 43 in an hour, his figures including two big hits out of the ground for six. On Tuesday morning the last three wickets fell for an addition of 17 runs, making a total of 299. When the South went in Mr. Palmer bowled with such effect that six wickets were down for 69 runs. Some good cricket by Humphreys and* Wootton, however, improved irjatters considerably, and the score was 170 before the last wicket fell. Mr. Palmer took six of the ten wickets at a cost of 61 runs. In the follow-on an excellent start was made, and Mr. Patterson, Read, and F. Hearne were seen to such advantage that the total was 106for one wicket atthe end of the day (F. Hearne not out 49, M. Readnoc out 23). Yesterday the batsmen had all the best of the game, and the Australians had a long outing. Frank Hearne and Maurice Read continued to hit away in fine style until the total was 262, when the latter was caught at slip. The partnership had produced 191 runs, and at one time 115 runs were made in eighty-five minutes. Frank Hearne was caught with another run added, but Mr. Read, who followed, was in brilliant form, making 87 in his very best style. Ultimately, it will be seen, the innings closed with George Hearne absent for 450, so that the South, when play ceased, were 321 runs on. A u str a l ia n s . M r, H . J. H .
