K E N T . A fte r h avin g a ll the w orst of the game on T h u rsd a y last, at L o rd ’s, the K e n t eleven played up so p lu ck ily as to effectually reverse the positions of the tw o side3, and u ltim ate ly to gain a thoroughly w e ll deserved victo ry. N eith er C o u nty, though w ell represented, had quite its fu ll strength, M essrs. W . H . P a tte r­ son and M . C . Kem p being unable to assist K e n t, and M essrs. H . J . M ordaunt, F .G . J . Fo rd and E . M . H adow M iddlesex. Th ree players new to County cricket w ere tried in M r. Scott W illia m s, a wicket-keeper who h as done good service for the L y r ic Club during the last two years, and P h illip s, one of the professionals of the M elbourne Club, and one of the ground bow lers at Lo rd ’s, for M iddlesex, and M r. A . D affen, who has scored w ell late ly fo r the B lackh e ath C lu b , for K e n t. M iddlesex losing the toss had to take the field, but the ground had not yet recovered from the recent rain s, and B u rto n and P h illip s bowled w ith such success th at in h alf an hour half the w ickets w ere down w ith the total only 27. A useful stand by M r. F o x and A lec H earne, who added 66 ru n s in an h o u r and quarter, by very carcfu l cricke t, how ever, im proved K e n t’s position m ate rially, and the in n in g s, w hich had lasted till four o’clo ck, after a ll realised 98 ru n s. B u rto n , as w ill be seen, bowled w ith m arked success. H is an alysis showed fifty overs and two b alls fo r 46 runs and seven w ickets. T h e ground w as d ryin g w hile M iddlesex w ere batting, and the w icket was h ard ly as d ifficu lt as in the m orning. S till W rig h t’ s bow ling w as too good to adm it of lib erties, and only three batsm en got double figures. T h e stand by M essrs. Stoddart and O’B rie n for the th ird w icke t was the feature of the in n in g s. N eith er batsm an seemed to be at a ll troubled, though the ground was s till not easy. T h e ir p artnership produced 65 ru n s, and the on ly actual chance by eith er w as a hard h it to mid-off by M r. Stoddart, ju st before he w as out. A fte r M r. O’B rie n ’s retirem ent, M r. H enery le n t M r. Stoddart useful assistance, and w h ile they were together 44 ru n s were added. M r. Stoddart w as batting ju s t under tw o hours, and h is innings of 59 w as a m ost creditable perform ance. K e n t w ere in a m in o rity of 60 ru n s w hen they began th e ir second in n in g s at h alf-p ast tw elve o’clock on F rid a y , and when the th ird w icket fell th ey w ere s till five behind. George H earne, who had helped M r. M archant to add 35, w as foolishly ru n out in attem pting a short ru n at 45, and M r. F o x who followed h im also gave the M iddlesex bowlers consider­ able trouble. H e played w ith h is u su al care w h ile M r. M archant h it, and w hen the latte r w as stumped another useful stand resu ltin g in an addition of 47 ru n s cam e to an end. M r. M archant w as only at the w ickets an hour, and h is 56 w as an adm irable d isplay of free h ittin g w ith o u t a m istake. M r. F o x continued to bat w ith stric t care and, seeing the rest of h is side go, carried out h is bat. H e w as in altogether tw o hours and forty m inutes, and h is 54 not out, an in valuable score, w as free from w h at could be called a chance. M iddlesex w en t in on F rid a y after­ noon w ith 134 to w in . On paper th e ir pros­ pects seemed very hopeful, b ut they were reduced ve ry considerably at the outset, M r. Stoddart being thro w n out from th ird m an in the first over in u n w isely try in g a danger­ ous ru n . M essrs. W ebbe an a Scott b y care­ fu l cricke t im proved m atters considerably, but W rig h t bowled in fine form ,and on F rid a y nig ht six of the best batsm en of M iddlesex w ere out w ith 67 s till w anting to w in . T h e game had th us undergone a great change in favour of K e n t, and on Saturd ay m orning the m atch w as soon over, M iddlesex failin g to reach the K e n t aggregate by 39 ru n s. B u rto n bowled w ith great success fo r M iddlesex,*taking in all tw elve w ickets for 108 ru n s. W rig h t’s bow l­ ing though w as the best feature of the m atch, and it w as m ain ly to h im th a t K e n t owed th e ir v icto ry . A ltog ether he got th irteen w ickets at an average of ju st over eight ru n s, and in the second in n in g s he w as credited w ith eight of the nine w ickets th at fe ll to the bow lers. K ent .

La v e rto n to oppose them at W estb ury on T h u rsd a y la st. T h e L a ve rto n combination w as a strong one at a ll points, and it got a lead on the first in n in g s w h ich it more than m aintained d u rin g the la tte r p art of the game. R a in reduced th e actu al cricket on the first day to about four h o u rs, d uring w h ich tim e n early tw o innings w ere completed. N ineteen w ickets, at least, fe ll for an aggre­ gate of 207 ru n s, and w hen the first day closed the game w as altogether against the A u stra ­ lia n s, who w ere 75 ru n s behind, w ith only one w icke t to fa ll. Though no less th an seven of the E n g lish team , who w ere the first to bat, m ade double figures, P e e l’s 20 proved to be the highest score in an aggregate of 141. T u rn e r and F e rris bowled unchanged, though the latte r had the better figures, takin g s ix w ickets at a cost of 57 ru n s. O n ly an hour and tw en ty m in u tes rem ained on the first d ay w hen the A u stralian s w ent in . Lo hm an n and B rig g s, how ever, were so w ell supported in the field th at none of the batsm en could m ake an y stand, and w hen p lay ceased the total w as 66 for the loss of nine batsm en. E n te rin g on th e ir second in n in g s on F rid a y in a m a jo rity of 74, the En g lishm en made a bad sta rt, M aurice R ead being out w ith the total at 9. T h e n cam e a rem arkable stand by D r. W . G . G race and R ad cliffe. T h e la tte r scored at a great rate from both T u rn e r and F e rris , and in an h o u r and tw en ty m inutes the score w as increased by 135 ru n s, of w h ich M r. R ad cliffe, the outgoer, had made 93. H is h ittin g all-round w as rem arkab ly fine, and he punished a ll the four bowlers tried by the A u stra lia n captain w ith the same se ve rity. Am ong h is figures ■were a square- leg h it out of the ground for 6 , and fifteen 4’s. W . G . G race’s 64 w as an in n in g s in every w ay wrorth y of h is reputation. H e w as in alto­ gether tw o hours and a q uarter w ithout a chance. T h e stand of the p air named d w arfed the rest of the b attin g , but in spite of the p unishm ent given h im by R ad cliffe, F e rris again cam e out w ith a good an alysis, and in the tw o in ning s he took tw elve w ickets at an average of ju st over 12 ru n s. R a in stopped p lay ju s t before half-past four o’clock on F rid a y n ig h t, and as the sun came cut o 1 the follow ing m orning the A u stra lia n s had a ve ry d ifficu lt task before them , when th e/ w en t in on S atu rd ay, to m ake 298 to w in . B rig g s, w ho had bowled w ith rem arkable success in the firs t in n in g s, and Lo hm an n , too, made the m ost of th e ir opportunities, and except for some free cricke t by Lyo n s at the start, and la te r on some liv e ly h ittin g l y T u rn e r, whose 47 was an excellent display under the circum stances, and a useful scoie b y G regory, there w as nothing to call for m ention. M r. La ve rto n ’s E le ve n had plenty in hand after the first in n in g s, and in the end w ere le ft w ith an easy victo ry by 181 ru n s.
