KENT v. SOMERSETSHIRE. After a fairly even game throughout, Somerset­ shire beat Kent on Tuesday afternoon at Canter­ bury, with three wickets to spare. Winning the toss Kent, were bat.inguatil, nearly half-past four o’clock on Monday afternoon for a total of 188. The chief credit of this rested with the first four batsmen. The total indeed whea Mr. We gall left was 125 for three wickets, and of the total of 166 from the bat, the last eight batsmen only con­ tributed 24. Mr Wilson’s 71 was far and aw*y the be t display on the side. He w*s in for two hours and forty minutes with ODly one very hard chance, just before he was out. Mr. Woods bowled with great success, taking eight wickets at a cost of 100runs. The commencement of Somer­ setshire’s first innings was most unpromising, as when the fourth wicket fell the score was only 32. Unfortunately for Kent, however, Martin strained his thigh so badly that he had to leave the field, and his bowling was lost to the side for thi rest of the match, a very great misforture. Profiting by his absence, Messrs. Palairet and Hill improved matters considerably, and when play ceaped on Monday night the former was still in with 59 out of 102^for five wickets, to his ere it. On Tuesday mornicgWalter Hearne bowled with great success, to much so that the innings was concluded within an hour for the addition of 57runs. Hearne took seven wickets, as will be seen, at a cost of 64 runs. Though they had a lead of 59 on the first hands, Kent failed when they went in a second time to maintain their advantage. They made such a poor start, indeed, that at luncheon time on Tues­ day the score was only for six wickets, and though Mr. Marchant’s free hitting relieved the latter part of the innings, Kent were all out in an hour and three-quarters for 121. With 151 to via Somersetshire began badly, losing four wickets for 44. As in the previous innings,the first stand was by the two old Oxonians, Messrs. Palairet and Hill. These two batsmen scored at agreatrate, add­ ing 77 in forty-five minutes. When they were totb dismissed, the issue again became 8 little doubtful, but favoured by luck Tyler eventually settled the matter, giving Somersetshire the victory. Their success was the more creditable, as their eleven was far from representative. The want of a regular wicket-keeper inp -rticular was much felt. K ent . First Innings. Second Innings. A.

ESSEX. The rainfall, which prevented any play at all a^ Birmingham on Monday, had naturally such a prejudicial effect on the wicket, that tne game .a&tedrealiy little more than one day. A com ­ mencement could not be made on Tuesday till after one o’clock, and then a iresh wicket had to be used. As the pitch was, run-getting was never easy, and the resu t <f i.utsuaj’s cricket was an aggregate of i79 for twenty-one wickets, with Mr Bain bridge’s 42 as the highest score. Paliett and Shilton cowled throughout the inniugs of Essex. Mr. Kortright, finished off w arwicks-ire’s batting, taking five wickets for twelve runs. Essex, who had scored five in their second ionings for one wicket, couid do little yesterd&y with the Warwickshire bowling, particularly that of Pallett. and the innings closed tor an addition of 59 runs. This left Warwickshire with only 29 to win, and as these were got for the loss of one batsman, they won with nine wickets to spare. E s s e x . Fir-t Innings. Second Innings.

Read and Key. The excellent ericket of the two professional* took some of the edge off the Yorkshire bowling, and their partnership of 30 for the first wicket was of the g eatest value. Lockwood was badly missed when he had got six, but Abel made no mistake. The stand of the innings, though, was on the fall of the fifth wicket. Messrs. Key and Read both shape 1 exceedingly well on the difficuH pitch, and theic stand, which resulted in an addition of 46 runs, had a g oat influence on the ultimate result. W tic- wright’s bowling, helped by the wicket, was marked with great success. He took six wickets at a cost of 74 runs. The pitch was even more treicherous the time that Yorkshire went in, and Richardson and Lockwood, Surrey’s two fast bowJers, male luch good use of their opportuni­ ties that the innings, which had lasted an hour and forty minutes, only lealised 64 runs. Richardson and Lockwood bowled without a change. The latter was at times particu’arly awkward, and his six wicket* only cost 32 runs. Yorkshire hid ju8t taved the f llow-on with one run to spare, and so Surrey started on their second innings on Tuesday morning with a useful and. pr cti ally a Winbinfr, lead of 79 runs. In spite of tome good cricket at thb start by Lockwood and Abel, Wainwright’s bowling again proved so diffi­ cult that five wickets were down for 48 All these were taken by Wainwright at acost of only J2runs. Ihe Surrey captain, however, again came to tho relief of his side when t'lings were going badly, and his stand with Mr. Jephson was invaluable. Mr. Key played with great confidence, and it was unfortunate that he should have been run out when he was apparently well set. Smrey’s second innings, which realised 88, had lasted two hours and ten minutes, a proof of the difficully of run- getting. Wainwright got an extraordinary amount of work on to the ball. He was even more successful than in the first innings as this time his sixwicket t only cost 34 runs. With 168 to win, Yorkshire had an almobt impossible taik before them as the wicket was. Mr. Jacfcson’s spirited tatting at the outset gave some slight hope, but for a time he qot litt e assistance, and three wickets were down for 29. On his retirement, Moorhouse and Mounsey played with great pluck and judgment, and while they were together the spectators found some relief. Thirty runs were added, and then Mr. Key decided to give Smith a trial in place of Lockwood the only change in the Surrey bowling ia the match. This move proved successful, as the slow bowler got three of the five remaining wickets in five overs t » cost of only seven runs. It was a fitting fiaith to a bowlers’ match, of which Surrey werj the winners by 88 runs. Richardson’s bowling cor- tributed materially to their success. Altogether he took ten wickets at a cost of Beven runs apiece. Lockwood’d all-rouDd cricket played even a more important port in the rjsult. In addition to two v ry useful innings, ho took pev«.n wickets for 53 runs. S u r r e y . First Innings. Second Innings.

SURREY. The universal interest taken in the match between these counties, begun at Sheffield on Moridiy last, had been more than justified by the excellent all-round cricket each had be on show­ ing this season. On paper, indeed, there was little to choose between the two elevens, and under any conditions a keenly-contested game was assured. As it was, the match resolved itself into a question parily of luck in the matter of first innings, lut mainly of the relative merit of the bowling. Considering that they had lost tbe toss seven times in succession, it was time that Surrey had the choice of innings. As the ground wa?, this was of some importance, and in batting first the Southerners undoubtedly gained a considerab'e advantage. All the same, even at the outset the batsmen had to play their best to make runs, and Surrey’s first score of 113 was, under the cir- cumstance3. a very satisfactory performance, the main credit of this total was due to Lock­ wood and Abel {at the commencement, and subse- .........143 Y o b k s h ir b .
