Cricket 1891

8 2 4 CRICKET: A W1BKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. AUG. 6, 1891 T H E C A N T E R B U R Y W E E K . KENT v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. The efforts of the Kent authorities to do full justice to the Jubilee of the Canterbury Week have so far, it is a matter of regret, been checked to some extent by the unfavourable weather. Though both sides were on the whole very strong, the interest in the first match, was considerably reduced by the absence of Mr. W , G. Grace, who had not sufficiently recovered from the injury to his back at Nottingham last Thursday, to be able to oppose Kent, A commencement could not be made till nearly four o’clock on Monday after­ noon, and then the choice of innings gave Gloucestershire amaterial advantage inbatting first, while the wicket was wet and easy on Monday. Still they did not utilise it as much as might have been expected, and their innings, which lasted an hour and fifty minutes, was :chiefly noticeable for the stand of Painter and Mr. Pullen, who added 49 for the third wicket. The total then was 70, but afterwards Mr. Sainsbury found no one to stop with him, and the remaining batsmen only added 31. Wright, who bowled throughout, dismissed all the first five bats­ men, and Martin when he came on again was very successful, getting four wickets in eight overs for four runs. Kent, who overnight had scored two runs, had made 21 more on Tuesday morning for two wickets, when a heavy thunderstorm broke over the ground and prevented any more crioket for the day. Yesterday, the Kent batsmen experienced the full difficulty of a drying wicket, and after Alec Hearne’s-?, dismissal at 47, Mr. Kemp, who hit freely, proved to be the best scorer. The last seven wickets just doubled the total, which only reached 94, a result due mostly to the good bowling of Woof, who took five wickets for 45 runs. In the twenty minutes that remained before luncheon, Messrs. Grace and Radcliffe made 27 without the loss of a wicket for Gloucestershire, who. had a lead of seven runs on the first innings Rain caused an interruption of three-quarters of an hour after play had been resumed, and with an addition of 83 for five wickets the Glouces­ tershire captain resorted to the expedient of closing the innings. As,owing to the decision to draw stumps at 5 45, only forty-five minutes remained, Kent did not attempt to get the 118 runs wanted to win. When play ceased only 38 had been scored for the loss of Mr. Daffen’s wicket, so that the game was drawn. G l o u c e s t e r s h ir e . First Inning Mr. E.

LEICESTERSH IRE v. DERBYSH IRE. Winning the toss gave Leicestershire a considerable advantage in this match, begun at Leicester on Monday, and they utilised their chances so well that until quite the final stage of the game their defeat seemed most improbable. Frequent showers kept the wicket easy for them on Monday, and the excellent example set by Warren and Wheeler, who put on 93 for the first wicket, that at the end of the first day 223 had been scored, with only nine wickets down. Though, Mr. Turner and Finney, who hit freely, were seen to considerable advantage, the best batting of the innings was that of Warren, who was in two hours and forty minutes without a chance till just before he was out. Although they were in for over three hours Derbyshire had to follow on in a minority of 91 runs. This time, however, they made a much better show, and thanks to a useful stand by Chat­ terton and Davidson the total had been raised to 111 by the end of the day with only three batsmen out. Yesterday morning Chatterton, who was not out 28 overnight, continued to play fine crioket, and his innings of 87 was only marred by two chances, one just at the finish. Going in after luncheon with 167 to win, Leicestershire started badly, bcth Warren and Wheeler being quickly dismissed. Messrs. De Trafford and Turner gave some trouble, but with the exception of Finney, who was again seen to advantage, no one could do much with the bowling of Raynor, Davidson, and Chatterton, and in the result the Derbyshire gained an exceedingly creditable victory with 68 runs to spare. Raynor took five wickets for 57 runs. Mistakes in the field in Derbyshire’s second innings contributed in a great measure to Leicestershire’ s defeat. L eicestershire . First Innings. Wheeler, c L.G.
