Cricket 1888

AUG. 16 >688. CRICKET 5 A WEEKLY EECORD PP THE GAME. 889 TH E CAN T ERBU RY W E EK . K E N T v. LAN C A SH IR E . The Canterbury festival of 1888 was brought to a conclusion on Friday evening w ith a victory for Kent, who won the second fixture of the week by nine wickets. Kent, though W ootton was absent, had a very strong eleven, but the same could hardly be said of Lanca­ shire, w ith Mr. Jowett, Mr. A. G. Steel, Robinson and the Rev. J. R . Napier all absent. Though the wicket was fast and all in favour of run-getting, Kent did not make a very good start when they wont in on Thursday m orning, and at luncheon tim e the total was 89 with six wickets down. Mr. Fox, however, again proved his utility to the Kent eleven by some very fine cricket, and w ith some valuable help from W right and Mr. Kem p, who hit very vigorously, L21 had been added before the innings came to an end. Mr. F o x ’s innings of 61 not out was in every w ay a creditable performance. H e gave no chance, and his innings was one of inestimable value to his side. Going in late on Thursday L an­ cashire fared badly, and in the short tim e that remained for play Martin and W right had succeeded in getting rid of four of the best batsmen for only 22 runs. On Friday m orning five more wickets fell for an addition o f only 27, but Mr. E . E Steel and Pilling made a good stand for the last wicket, and 47 were added before the end came. Follow ing on in a m inority of 114, the earlier batsmen of Lancashire were again seen to disadvantage, and when the luncheon bell rang Barlow, Sugg, and M r. H ornby were out with only 20 runs on the score sheet. Mr. E ccles and Briggs put on 32 for the fifth wicket, and on the form er’s retirem ent Mr. Steel and Briggs made another stand, raising the total from 57 to 117 before the form er was caught. Pilling being too unwell to go in, the innings closed w ith the fall of the ninth wicket at 185, of which Briggs had contributed 56 by very fine hitting. A t the finish Kent only wanted 22 to win, and these were got for the loss of one batsman. K e n t . First Innings. Mr. W . Rashleigh, c Crosfield, b Barlow 27 F.

M ID D L E S E X . T he D erbyshire eleven, after m a k in g an excellent fig h t up to the end of the secondday against a strongish side of M iddlesex, were beaten a t D erby on S aturday by seven w ickets. I t was the first m a tc h ever played betw een the counties, a nd the hom e team celebrated the occasion by some of the best all-round cricket they have show n this year. W in n in g the toss, they were in nearly all the first day for a very respectable to ta l of 245, the highest m ade by D erbyshire in 188&. The chief feature of the in nin gs was the b a ttin g of C ropper a n d H a ll, and the tw o professionals added as m a n y as 98 runs for the last w icket. C ropper’s 92 was a display of m ore th a n ordinary m erit. G o in g in fifth w icket dow n he carried o u t his bat, and, w ith the exception of tw o difficult chances, one soon after he w ent in, his battin g was free from a m istake. O n the second m orn in g Messrs. F o rd and W ebbe scored eighty runs in the hou r, and later on Messrs. H adow a n d V ernon scored at a great rate. M r. H adow ought to have been caught in the long-field w hen he h a d only m ade seventeen, b u t afterw ards h it in splendid style, and out of 151* got w hile he was in he contributed 92 in tw o hours. In a m in o rity of 83 D erbyshire comm enced th e ir second in nin g s m ost inauspiciously, and w hen play ceased a t th e end of the second day five bats­ m en were out w ith the to ta j only seventeen. W h e n the sixth, w icket fell on S aturday m o rn in g D erbyshire still w anted 62 to avoid an in nin gs defeat, and th e ir chances then seemed very sm all. Som e excellent cricket by D avid son, C hatterton and M r. W alker, however, gave quite a new com plexion to the gam e, and the total after a ll reached 188, the last fou r w ickets h a v in g added no less th a n 167, a m ost creditable perform ance. M id d le ­ sex, left w ith 106 to w in, fared b adly a t the start on S aturday afternoon, a nd three of the best w ickets were dow n for 3 L. A s a t Sheffield, how ever, earlier in the week, Messrs. O ’B rien and H adow p u t the result beyond a doubt by th e ir vigorous h ittin g , a nd the balance of 75 was got by the tw o am ateurs. I n a ll 868 runs were scored for thirty-three w ickets, a proof th a t the w icket was in good condition. D e r b y s h ir e . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. G. G.
