The original intention of the executive of the Hastings and St. Leonards Club, when this fixture was arranged for the latter half of last week at Hastings, was to have placed a South of England Eleven in the field to oppose the Australians. A ll the leading Southern shires, though, but M iddlesex were engaged, and it was consequently found necessary to find room for some Northern players. As Notts and Lancashire, however, also had matches there was not a large field for selec­ tion, and the England side^ though it included Peel, Hall, W ainwright, ancl Mr. M ordaunt, was m ostly made up of local cricketers. The heavy rains of the early part of the week had saturated the ground so that play was hot possible on Thursday, and a comm encem ent had to be deferred till Friday m orning. The Australians were lucky enough to get first innings, and thanks m ainly to the free batting of M cDonnell, whose thirty-three included a hit for six out of the ground, and later on of Jarvis and Lyons, whose thirty-tw o is the best innings he has yet made during the tour, were not dismissed until they had reached the very respectable total of 163. T o this the England Eleven made a feeble reply, as Turner, helped by the wicket, proved too m uch for the m ajority of the batsmen. Of an aggregate of 48 from the bat, 29 were contributed by the two York- shiremen, Peel and W ainwright, and eight of the ten wickets fell to Turner at a cost of thirteen runs, a m ost remarkable analysis, strangely enough identical with that of L oh ­ mann for Surrey against Lancashire at Man­ chester on the previous day. W hen play ceased on Friday evening after following on in a m inority of 113, the E ngland team had made six for the loss of one batsmen. On Saturday Turner’s bow ling again proved irre­ sistible, and the only other noteworthy feature of the cricket was the batting of the two local cricketers, Mr. H erbert £ igg and Phillips. T he professional played with consistent care, and going in first wicket down was not out at the close. The batsmen generally were alto­ gether puzzled by Turner’s bow ling, and this tim e he took all but one wicket, which fell to W orrall. H e bowled throughout the match for the Australians, and delivered altogether 69 overs for 50 runs and seventeen wickets, figures which will compare favourably with the best of his previous perform ances w ith tho ball. In their two attempts the E ngland eleven only made 141, so that the Australians won by an innings and twenty-seyen runs. A u str a l ia n s . BOWLING ANALYSIS. P. S.

KENT- The men of Kent have generally shown up so well against the Australian cricketer3 at Canterbury, that the opening match of the Canterbury W eek of 1888 was awaited with m ore than ordinary interest. B oth sides were, too, well represented, though Kent left out W ootton, ana Mr. S. M. J. W oods was not able to help the Australians, who were, however, re­ inforced by one of the most valuable m embers of the team, S. P. Jones, his first appearance after his recent illness. The Australians went in first on a slow wicket, but the bowling of W right and Alec Hearne, supported by close and accurate fielding, prevented any fast scoring, and Jones proved to be the highest contributor to the aggregate of 116, having batted with great care and j udgment for his score of tw enty-four not oat. W right and Aleo H earne bowled w ith great success, but the form er had the better figures, his six wickets costing 54 runs. Kent in their turn made a very bad start against the bowling of Turner and Ferris, and five of the best bats­ men were out for only 30 runs. Messrs. Marchant and Fox, however, improved matters slightly, and thirty-seven were added before the latter was caught. Mr. Marchant con ­ tinued to hit freely, but at 102 he was bowled by Turner for a dashing score of 41, which in­ cluded an easy chance to m id-off when he had made thirteen. When play was begun on Tuesday the Australians were fifteen on with all their wickets in hand in the second innings, and so good was the out cricket of the Kent eleven that between 11.15 and 2 o’clock, only eightj-nine runs were added. Of these thirty- three had been made by Edwards, who was batting for nearly three hours for this sum. On the renewal four more wickets fell for an addition of 28 runs, but the last pair, Lyons and W orrall, played sterling cricket, and before they were parted the total had been increased by 35 runs, a most useful part­ nership. W anting 162 to win the Kent bats­ m en again failed w hen they had to oppose Turner and Ferris, and at the close of the day seven wickets were down for 65, or 97 still to win. The issue was not long in doubt yester­ day, as the remaining batsmen were only al)le to put on 15, and the Australians were thus left w ith a decisive victory by 81 runs. In the m atch Turner took ten Kent wickets for 69 and Ferris nine for 86 runs. A u s tr a l ia n s . First Innings. A C . Bannerman, b W right 0 P. S. M ’Donnell, b W right 23 H.

O n the conclusion of the match a scratch game was got up between elevens captained respectively by L ord Harris and Mr. W. H. Patterson, An innings a side was com pleted with an advantage of thirty-two to the form er’s eleven, who scored 167 to 135. Scores were— Mr. Patterson’s s id e : Mr. W . H . Patterson, 19; M r. M. C.

The Surrey eleven secured their tenth con­ secutive victory of the season in important Inter-county matches yesterday at Kennington Oval, when they defeated Notts for the second tim e this year by 78 runs. Mr. J. A . Dixon was unable to play, but otherwise N otts had its usual team, and as Surrey had the eleven which has done duty for it regularly this year there was little to find fault with tne twenty- tw o that took the field on Monday. Though there was slight rain on the first m orning, and play had to be stopped for the same cause half-an-hour before the close on that day, the m atch altogether took place under m uch more favourable conditions than cricketers have experienced during the last two m onths. The weather on the second day in particular was warm and genial, and the large noliday crowd which witnessed the play each day had the satisfaction of seeing some very interest­ ing cricket, which they thoroughly enjoyed, to judge by their orderly and appreciative de­ meanour. Mr. Shuter, who had won the toss for Surrey, with A bel put on 35 for the first wicket, but after their separation things went badly for a time, and though H enderson, Mr. Bowden, and W ood lent useful assistance to­ wards the finish, Flowers bowled so well that the total only reached 122. A t the close of the first day Notts had made 58 for the loss of three batsmen, and thanks chiefly to some excellent batting by Mr. Daft, who was an hour and a half at the wickets for his 39, they
