After three days of high scoring the second match of the Canterbury Week ended on Satur­ day, as had its predecessor, in a drawn game. Both counties were well represented, although George Hearne was still unable to play for Kent, and Lord Harris’s Parliamentary duties also prevented his presence in the eleven. The great amount of batting on each side, too, rendered it certain that there would be some heavy run-getting, and, in all, 1,017 runs were totalled for thirty wickets—an average of nearly 24 for each batsman. Kent, who were the first to bat, lost two good wickets for 44, but a lengthy stand by Messrs. Wilson and Rashleigh, which resulted in the addition of 88 runs, improved the appearance of the game materially, and some useful batting at the close by Martin brought the total to the respectable sum of 241. Mr. Wilson’s 63 was in every way a praiseworthy innings. His batting was marked with great judgment as well as power, and among his hits were as many as ten fours. The Kent bowlers were sorely taxed when Middlesex went in, and nine of them were tried before the tenth wicket fell. Eight of the Middlesex team got into double figures, but the feature of the inn­ ings was the play of the Captain, Mr. Webbe, who carried his bat throughout. He gave a hard chance to third man when he had got sixteen,but, excepting another similar mistake at fifty-three, there was no flaw in a remark­ able display of batting. He was in six hours aud a quarter, and, brilliant as have been many of his performances in the past, his powers of defence were never seen to better advantage. Among his figures were thirty fours, seven threes, and eleven twos. Going in again on Friday night in a minority of 17 runs, Kent had an uphill task before them for Saturday. Thanks though to some excellent batting, particularly by Messrs. Patterson and Leslie Wi son, the latter of whom advanced his reputation materially by his two admirable innings of 68 and 79 in this match, the game was not only saved, but left in by no means an uninteresting condition. Messrs. Patterson and Wilson added 147 runs for the fifth wicket, and the former, who has only recently been able to take his place in the Kent eleven, got his ninety-nine without anything like a mis­ take. At the finish Middlesex wanted 194 to win, and though they would in all likelihood have got this number without great difficulty, the Kent eleven deserve to be heartily con­ gratulated on the plucky game they played. During the week 1,982 runs were made for 56 wickets, or an average of nearly 35| runs— conclusive evidence of the care bestowed on the ground. M id d l e s e x . Mr. A. J.

On Monday, 2.032 paid at the gate, on Tuesday, 4,252, on Wednesday, 1,025, on Thursday (the Ladies’ day), 6,609, on Friday, 1,414, and on Saturday, 527, giving an aggregate of 16,909 for the week. The dramatic performances of the “ Old Stagers ” in the theatre consisted of the late H. J. Byron’s drama “ Daisy Farm,” Sydney Grundy’s comedy “ The Glass of Fashion,” Maddison Morton’s farce “ A Regular Fix.” and a new one-act play My Friend Jarlet.”
