T W E N T Y -N IN T H M ATCH— v. K E N T . A fter having all the w orst o f th e first part of this m atch, th e open ing fixture o f the fifty-third C anterbury w eek, on M onday, the Kent eleven gained a rery creditable victory yesterday. The A ustralians, w ho w ere w ith ou t M cL eod, G raham , and Jarvis, w ere lu cky enough to w in the toss, and as th e w ick et w as in fa ir condition, and K ent w ere w ith ou t W alter H earne, th eir best bow ler, the C ounty eleven were lu cky in being able to dism iss their opp on en ts for 229. Even this Bcore w ould have been m aterially reduced had the K ent fielding been u p to its usual standard. Instead, several chances w ere m issed, and in this resp ect the crick et r:as very d isa pp oin tin g. On the other hand, the bow ling w as considerably above th e average, and W righ t as w ell as M arlin k ep t an excellent length. G regory was the highest scorer on the A ustralian side, and, except f i r a ch an ce w hen he had g o t 30, his in nings was free from a fault. K ent h id 10 go in with 50 m inutes left fo r play on M onday n igh t, and were unfor- tu ra t i enough to lose three g ood batsm en in that sh ort tim e fo r fifty-one runs. On T uesday m orning the K ent batting w as very disappointing. The w ick et h elped the bow lers a bit, and the rem aining batsm en shaped so badly against G. G iffen, T urner, T rott, and T rum ble, th et in just over an hour th e innings cam e to an end, th e seven outstanding w ickets only adding 63 runs Follow ing on in a m inority o f 102 run*, K ent tegan fa 'rly w el1, M ason and Aleo H earno pu tting ou 2-i in th e first tw enty m inutes. A fter lu nch, though, T urn er »ow led w ith great sncces3. and as six batt- men w ent fo r an addition o f on ly 90 runs, w hen ih e sixth w ick-1 fell K ent w ere only 13 on. A fine stand b y P atterson and M archant. how ever, quite altered the aspect o f the gam e. B oth bats­ m en scored freely, and in forty-five m inutes 77 w ere added by brilliant cricket. A t the sam e total, 192, b Jth w ere dism issed, and as the other tw o w ickets only added six, the inningp, w h ich had lasted three hours, a fter all realised a to ta l of 198. W ith 97 to w in the A ustralians m ade a bad start, losing L y o n s in the five m inutes le ft on Tuesday night fo r only tbree runs. Y esterday t ‘ e A ustralian bitum en fared badly again st the bow ling o f A lec H earne and W right, and as the w ickets fell and the ch an ces o f a victory fo r K ent grew nearer, th e excitem en t naturally in creased. The dis­ m issal o f G eorge Giffen in W rig h t’s first over w as follow ed by other disasters. E n cou ra ged by tneir early su ccess, A lec Hearne and W righ t bow led up right w ell, and supported b y excellent fieldiog, they were able to send back T rott, G regory, and T ru m ble in qu ick su ccession fo r an a cd ition of only fifteen. W ith five w ickets down fo r eighteen the gam e w as all in favou r o f K ent, a rd though B ruce by vigorous hitting k n ock ed up 23 ou t o f 31 w ith on e life, it w as only a m om entary effort. A fter T urner’s dism issal W a lter G iffen ran him ­ self ou t, and as Coningham w as finely caught,and B la ck h a m -b ow led in quick succession. K en t w on a rem arkably fine victory by 36 runs. 1 he bow ling of Alec H earne and W right con trib u ted chiefly to the result. T he form er took five w ickets fo r 35, W rig h t fou r fo r 24 runs. A u s t r a l ia n s . F irst Innings. S econ d Innings. Mr. J. J.

O f course peculiar in terest was atta ch ed to the m a tch la st year, from th e fact that the result w as expected to determ ine the prem iership, and the general excitem ent was show n by an attendance considerably above the record anyw here. T his year, th ou gh b oth C ounties are nearer th e la st than the first place, th e m eeting still presented a great am ount o f attraction, to judge n ot only by th e num ber o f f-pectators bu t by the keen w ay in w hich every change o f th e gam e was follow ed and applauded. Fortunately, too, b oth sides w ere w ell ^ p r e ­ sented, w ith parhaps th e ex cep tion o f the absence o f C. M . W eils on th e S urrey side, so that the gam e w as played under, in this respect, equal con d ition s. N otts w on the toss, but in this case it hardly gave them any advantage. T h e w icket ow ing to th e rains o f Sunday night h elped the bow ling a little, and as tbe w eather held up Surrey did n o t suffer by losing the choice. As it was, the batting o f the N otts m en w as very disappoint­ ing. A neat ca tch by B rockw ell g ot rid o f Shrews­ bury, and G u~n soon follow ed caughi in the slip*. E ncouraged by these successes L ock w ood and R ichardson bow led u p w ell, and ju st before three o ’clo ck thej side w ere ou t fo r a sm all total o f 12). W'hen Surrey w ent in A te l and Ila jw a rd played w ith great care till they g ot the m easure o f the N otts bow iers, and by g o jd cricket ttc s ore w as taken to 63 before Abel u n lu c k y played on. A fter M. R ead’s depart ire, H ayw ard, w ho w as caught, batted in adm irable style, and then W . W . and H enderson, and later, B rockw ell and K ey were seen to such advantage that t y 6.30 the score had been taken to 190, with only h a lf the side out. Surrey w ere then 7J on w ith live w ickets to fall, and a?, thanks to the excellent crick e ; o f Brockw el', K ey. «n d L ock w ood , a hun­ dred wero added on lu e sd a y m orning, at the end o f the innings Surrey had a u seful lead o f 170 runs. Still, as the w icket w as n ow in capital ord er for run-getting, it w as fe lt that the Surrey m en m igh t yet have to pla y hard to win. T h ose w ho thought this, how ever, receive 1 a sh ock at the start, as in the half h ou r before lu n ch eon Shrew s­ bury and G unn had again been dism issed w ith the score on y 26. D ixon saw Barnes ou t before he was bow led, and w hen F low ers w as b eaten b y o n e from R ichardson, five w ickets w ere dow n for 54 Jones, w h o hit plu ck ily if with som e luck, and Shacklock were the first to m ake anything of a stand, and they put on 46 fo r the seventh w icket. Then 53 were still w anted to ea^e the innings and there seem ed little ch an ce o f Surrey goin g in. W hen Sherwin, the la st m an, cam e in, too, £5 w ere still to t e got, and am idst great excitem en t these and three m ore w ere p u t on freely before A ttew el', w ho had played w ith great plu ck and judgm ent, w as canght. Surrey had thus only fou r to and as H ayw ard g ot these o ff the fou rth b a ll, N otts w ere beaten by ten w ickets. T he result was received w ith heartv and lon g continued cheering. On the first day 21,681 persons paid fo r adm ission to the ground and on the secon d 15,093, or 36,774 in the m atch. N o t ts . F irst Innings. S econd Innings.
