Altogether the forty-ninth Canterbury Week was a complete success in every way. The attendances were, throughout, good, in spite of the, at times, unpleasant weather, and on Thursday, “ The Ladies’ Day,” the gathering was the largest, so far, recorded on the St. Laurence Ground, 8,692 persons paying for admission. The Old Stagers, too, celebrated their forty-eighth season in a fitting style in the theatre. On Monday and Thursday the entertainment consisted of James Albery’s comedy, “ Two Roses,” and a new operetta by F. C. 13urnand, music by E. Solomon, en­ titled “ The Tiger.” On Tuesday and Friday “ Betsy ” formed the chief attraction, with a one-act play adapted from the French, “ Good Bye.” The Old Stagers had the valuable assistance of Laura and Marie Linden, Ida Sala, Isabel Ellison, Edith Chester and Mrs. Frank Copleston. On Wednesday, as well as on Friday evening, a ball was held as usual in the Music Hall in St. Margaret Street. The most interesting function of the week, though, was the banquet given by the Kent County Club in honour of Mr. W. G. Grace. Mr. F. A. Mackinnon, one of the best players in the Kent eleven some ten years ago, and this year President of the club, was in the chair. In addition to Mr. Grace the amateurs and professionals engaged in the match be­ tween Kent and Gloucestershire were also in­ vited. Lord Harris was more than usually happy in proposing the toast of the evening. Referring in detail to Mr. Grace’s many note­ worthy performances on the St. Laurence Ground, he asked his hearers to drink to Mr. Grace’s health not only as the greatest cricketer the world had ever seen, not only because he was a most thorough cricketer, as everyone who had played against him could tell, and because he played the game, but be­ cause, and he thought they had political and biblical advice to the effect, “ That whatever we do we should do with all our might.” In replying, Mr. Grace remarked with pleasure that some of his best achievements had taken place on the Canterbury ground. His re­ mark, “ He had never seen better batting than he had seen that day, and he hoped to see as good tc-morrow,” created great amusement He had a most enthusiastic reception through­ out the evening. SUSSEX v. LANCASHIRE. The Lancashire eleven won the first of the three matches of their Southern tour with ease, at Brighton on Tuesday, when they beat Sussex by an innings and thirty-three runs. Sussex, who played Tebay instead of Major, winning the toss went in first, but the ground was slow after the heavy rain of the previous day,and Watson and Briggs bowled with such success that in an hour and a half the home team were all out for 64. Lancashire, on the other hand, were seen to much better ad­ vantage against the Sussex bowlers, and their innings, which lasted three hours and a half, realised 225, ending just before time on Mon­ day evening. Of the 200 got from the bat Barlow and Briggs were accountable for 111 by very different cricket. Both innings were without a flaw, but Barlow was in twro hours and ten minutes, while Briggs was batting only a little over a hour for his runs. Sussex had a bad outlook when they began their second innings, being in a minority of 161. The ground was in better condition for run- getting, however, and thanks to the fine hitting of Bean, who made 63 in an hour and twenty minutes without a mistake, 78 had been got before the seoond wicket fell. After this, th o u g h , no one offere d a n y serious resistance to the bowling of Briggs and Watson, and soon after three o’clock on Tuesday the. match was over. Bri{ gs and Watson shared the Sussex wickets, Watson taking ten for 67, Briggs nine for 107 runs. Pilling, too, was in brilliant form behind the wicket. He caught three and stumped two batsmen in the second innings of Sussex. S ussex . First Tunings. Second Innings.

The Essex eleven secured a very creditable victory in their return match with Surrey, begun at Leyton on Monday, having when the game ended on Tuesday night a large majority of 135 runs. Mr. Shuter, Mr. Key, Wood and Beaumont were all absent from the Surrey team, but a place was found for Maurice Read, who owing to an injured hand had not played last week against Notts or Middlesex. Rain prevented a commence­ ment on Monday till pasb one o’clock, and when it did begin, there was little to choose between the two sides, Surrey, after dis­ missing their opponents for 110, having made 75 for the loss of half their wickets on Monday night. On Tuesday the ball got up at timos very awkwardly, but the Essex men as the game went were seen to advantage at all points, and out played their formidable oppo­ nents altogether. In their second innings Essex made a very good show, though the chief feature was the stand of Mr. Gosling and Burns, who by excellent cricket put on 66 runs in fifty minutes ior the sixth wicket. Surrey wanting 193 to win, began so badly that Essex soon had the game well in hand. Six of the best batsmen were out with the total only 23, and the side were all out in eighty minutes for the unexpectedly small total of 67. The thoroughly well deserved victory of Essex was in a great measure due to the effective fa6t bowling of Piokett. He was not changed during the match, and his twelve wickets only cost 78 ru n s , a splendid perforin* Total .................110 S u r r ey . First Innings.
