Though not as fortunate as in the first match of the week, still the Kent eleven made such a cap­ ital show against the powerful eleven of Notts that the result of the second fixture was anything but discreditable. The selection of the Notts eleven for the occasion was a very ta p p y one as events proved, and their brilliant victory over Surrey at the Oval on the previous day gave such interest to their appearance on Thursday, that the com pany far exceeded in numbers the best record of The Ladies’ Day. Mr. J. A. Dixon was unable to go on to Canterbury, and with the exception of his replacement by T. Attewell, the Notts eleven was the sam e as had beaten Surrey. On the other side, Mr. Kemp was able to keep wicket, and the only notable absentee was Mr. Braybrooke, who having strained him self In the Gloucestershire m atch gave way to Mr. Marchant. Mr. Robinson was lucky enough to win the toss, and Notts with the ground in good order of course went in. The early batting, however, was disappointing, and Shrewsbury received snch poor support that when the sixth wicket fell the total was only 110. Barnes alone rendered him any assistance till quite the finish, when Sherwin hit out lustily to the tune of 29 out of 40 runs. Shrewsbury, for the fourth time this season, got a hundred, carrying his bat through the innings. He was in four hours and a half, and with the exception of a hard chance in the slips when he had made 29 there was nothing that could be called a chance. Kent, who on Thursday night had made 27 for the loss of Alec Hearne and Mr. Marchant, started very badly on the following morning, Shacklock bowling Messrs. Weigall, K nowlei and Wilson in succession. With five wickets down for 44, their chances of averting a follow on were not very bright. Some excellent cricket, how ­ ever, by Messrs. Fox and Patterson, which resulted in an addition of 59 runs, improved their position materially. Just at the last, too. Walter Hearne and Wright played up with great determination, and in the end Kent were only 62 runs to the bad. Shacklock again bowled with great success, taking *even wickets at a cost of less than 10 runs apiece. When Notts went in a second tim e, Kent bowled and fielded up so well that Mr. Jones and Shrewsbury were got rid of without difficulty.and when stumps were drawn for the day half the wickets were down for 111. On Saturday morning, too, the Hearnes bowled with success, and the innings closed for an addition of 67. W alter Hearne’s bowling was the test feature of K ent’s out-cricket. His seven wickets cost 75 runs. W ith 241 to win Kent made a bad start, losing Alec Hearne with the total only four. The free cricket of Messrs. Marchant and Weigall, though, worked a great change, and they treated the Notts bowling so lightly that 77 were put on in forty-five minutes. Mr. Wilson helped Mr. Wei­ gall to put on 60, and when the fifth wicket fell the total was 145. After Mr. Weigall’s departure,how­ ever, Kent’s last chance had practically gone, and when the last wicket fell Notts were 56 runs to the good. Mr. Weigall was in two hours and twenty minutes, and his 63 was an admirable display of judicious and confident batting. During the luncheon hour on Friday the oppor­ tunity was taken to present to Alec Hearne a sum of m oney collected in appreciation of his perform ance in carrying his bat through Kent’s first innings against Gloucestershire in the previous match. Lady Harris, who is on a visit to England, m ade the presentation, which was accompanied with a few remarks from the Hon. Ivo Bligh, President of the County C.C. Hearne received £50, Martin, W right, and Walter Hearne each £5. On Thursday 11,827 paesed through the turnstiles, which was considerably in advantage of the previous record. N ottinghamshire .

The Old Stagers provided, as usual, entertainment in the Theatre on Monday, Tues­ day, Thursday, and Friday evenings. The pro­ gramme consisted of the Duchess of Baysivater, Young Mrs. Winthrop, A Show o f Hand*, and The Magistrate , ending with the usual epilogue on Friday night. Here the Old Stagers had the valuable professional assistance of Mrs. Latrobe (Miss Carlotta Addison), Miss Marie Linden, M iss Laura Linden, Mrs. Lexton, and Mr. and Miss Ethel N orton. The balls at the Music Hall on Wednesday and Friday evenings attracted a large and fashionable com pany. Outside there was attraction on Monday, Wednesday, ard Thursday evenings by the illum ination of the Dane John, and with additional interest on ‘ he Thursday by the lantern parade of the Bicycle Club NOTTS v. M IDDLESEX. Though without Mr. W obbe. who had strained himself, Middlesex sent a formidable side to Trent Bridge ground on Monday to oppose Notts. Unfortunately, however, rain stopped play after three overs had been delivered, and as it con­ tinued until lu&ch time, Notts had a considerable advantage in batting first. Mr. Dixon and Shrewsbury made the best of their opportunities at the outset, while the wicket was easy, and their exam ple was so well followed that the total was 137 when the fourth batsm an retired. The later wickets, though, did not give any great am ount of trouble, and by the end of the day the total had been increased by 54 at a sacrifice o f five more batsmen. On Tuesday m orning the innings was soon finished, a catch at the wicket dismissing Sherwin from the third ball. Rawlin’s bowling proved very effective, as the analysis jwill show. He took half the wickets at a cost o f 71 runs. 1 he ground was helping the bowlers when Middle­ sex went in to bat, and the eleven generally were seen to disadvantage. The exceptions were Messrs. Jardine, Stoddart, and Ford, who between them contributed 67 of 96 from the bat. The feature of the innings, which lasted tw o hours, was the bat­ ting of Mr. Jardine. In second wicket down at 25, he was still in at the close of the innings, having scored 32 out of 72 by watchful cricket. Attewell and Barnes', backed up by excellent fielding, bowled with great success, the former taking five wickets for only 36 runs. In the follow on, however, Middlesex were seen to m uch better advantage. Still the credit was due to the later batsmen, as the score was only 34 with Messrs. Jardine, Stod­ dart, and Scott all out. Mr. Henery, w ho made fourteen from one over of Shacklock, was the first to put any life into the game. Even then the total was only moderate, and with six men out for 86 a victory for Notts seemed close at hand. As it was, on the improving wicket Mr. Ford, Mr. Gregor, Phillips. Wesfc, and Hearne all did good service, and 116 runs were added before the innings closed. Phillips’ 46 was particularly worthy of praise. Flowers was this tim e the m ost effective bowler, his six wickets realising 36 runs. W ith 109 to win Notts had three-quarters of an hour for play on Tuesday evening, and in this time Mr. Dixon and D aft made five without the loss of a wicket. W hen play was resumed yesterday, the wicket was m uch faster, and that clearly foreshadowed a certain victory for Notts. Tho comm encem ent though was not auspicious, as with only three added Mr. Dixon was caught at the wicket. Mr. Jones, who took his place, played capital cricket, helping Daft to raise the score to 44 before he was out. Some very slow cricket marked Shrewsbury’s partner­ ship with Daft, and at one time only 16 runs were made in three-quarters of an hour. Still the Middlesex bowling was steadily mastered, and just before two o’clock the hit was m ade which gave N otts the victory by eight wickets. M idd lesex . First Innings.
