Cricket 1894

872 0MCKET s A WEEKLY EECOED OF T E M SAME- SEPT. 6 , 1894 ESSEX v. SURREY. The Essex eleven only m ade a poor show in their last match of the season, played at Leyton on Thurs­ day and Friday last. Neither County had quite its strength, as Essrx was w ithout m ore than one of its best players, while Mr. Key, Mr. W. W . Read, and Lockw ood were all away from Surrey. Surrey, who won the toss, were batting all the iirst day, and at the finish had still two wickets tc go down. For their total of 312 they were chiefly indebted to two players new to Surrey’s first eleven, and a third, who, owing to an injury, had been out of it for several weeks. Neither Holland nor Mr. Graburn had previously played in a first- class m atch for Surrey, and Maurice Read had not been ar-le to take his place in the eleven since his arm was injured in the m atch against Leices­ tershire at Leicester. The three batsm en named were between them responsible for 2JJ of the total. Holland and Abel put on 110 in a hundred minutes for the second wicket, and Maurice Read and Mr. Graburn 129 for the seventh. H olland’s first appearance for Surrey was o f the m ost prom ising kind. For two hours and ten minutes he played the excel'ent bowling o f Mead and Pickett with confidence as well as judgm ent, and as he gets well over the ball, and has good defence, as w ell as hitting power, he has in him the making o f a really fine batsman. His 76 was entirely free from a mistake. Mr. Graburn showed sound and w atchful cricket, while Maurice Read hit in his best ttyle, and the form er’s 39 was an innings o f great value. Read’s 86 was thoroughly characteristic. He hit all round with equal freedom , and there was nothing like a chance to be urged in disparagement of his inniogs. Nor should m ention be om itted of Abel, who was batting two hours and twenty minutes for a faultless score o f 51. The last two wickets of Surrey having added 23 on Friday m orning Essex had to go in against a bi«? total of 325. It was soon evident that their inniogs would not be of long duration. Richardson and Smith both bow led with great success, and though Messrs. Owen, Rowe, and Kortright showed fairly good form , in an hour and three-quarters the whole side were out for 87. Following on in arrears to the tune o f 5^8, the early batsm en of Essex gave som e hopes of a respectable show. Carpenter and Mr. Owen were seen to considerable advantage, and the latter looked like giving the Surrey bowlers a lot of trouble. A t 104, however, he was bowled ty Richardson, and then a com plete collapse set in, Richardson and Thom pson getting rid o f the last five wickets fur an addition o f only 37 runs. Thom pson’s bowling at the finish was particu'arly noteworthy. He took three of the last wickets at a cost of only 13 runs. Surrey thus won by an innings and 97 runs. S u r r e y .

The series of cham pionship fixture cam e to a close with the com pletion of the m atch on the Trent Biidge Ground, Nottingham, on Saturday afternoon. The game itself was of little or no significance ia view of the relative positions of the two Counties,and indeed,the only interest depended on the ques.ion whether the result would place Kent in the fourth place, or make it level with Lancashire for that position. Though Keot, who w on the toss, were at the wickets three hours and a half, the bowlers got a little help from the grouod, and ihe result was an aggregate of only 162. The out-cricket of Notts was on the whole good, and Attewell, who took six wickets for6«, bowled with better effect than he had done for som e time. The m ost noticeatle batting on the Kent side was that o f Messrs. Marchant, Rash­ leigh, and Stewart. Mr. Marchant scored 23 out of 31 while he was in, but the best cricket was while Messrs. Rashleigh and Stewart were together. The latter had one life, but Mr. Rashleigh made no mistake, though he was fortunate enough to play the ball on when t e had made 31without removing the bails. Notts had an hour and ten minutes left for cricket on Thursday, and in that time W alter Hearne dismissed three batsm en for 39 runs. The remainder of the Notts inniogs occupied the whole of Friday. The tim e of actual cricket was a little over five hours, and as only j95 were added, it will be seen the rate o f scoring was less than 40 runs an hour. This will i e sufficient to show that the cricket generally was lacking in exciting incidents. Mr. Dixon and D aft t egan by putting on 62 in a little under an hour and a half, and Daft was still in when the innings eventually cam e to an end. As a display o f purely watchful cricket, his 93 was worthy of the highest praise. He was in altogether five hours and a half without anything that could really be construed into a chance. Going in a second tim e on Saturday m orning 72 to the bad, Kent lost one batsman (tfiasby) before a run had been scored. Alec Hearne and Mr.Rashleigh,however, put a different com plexion on the game. Though the form er only made 18, his stand with Mr. Rashleigh for the second wicket resulted in an addition of 95 runs. Mr. Rashleigh's cricket was of the m ost attractive kind, and how fully he uti ised his opportunities m ay be judged from the fact that he made 95 out of 118 while he was in, and in less than a a hour and a ha'f, without an actual chance. Mr.Stewart’s 72 was as deserving an innings. He was at the wickets just under two hours, and there was really no fault to be found with a sound and stylish display <f cricket. W ith the total 260 for seven wickets Kent’s innings was declared, and as only an hour and three-quarters remained for play when Notts went tn, there was little or no chance of a definite result. The only feature of note.indeed, was the excellent batting of Mr. A. O. Jones, who scored 41 of the 86 got for five wickets. At the finish Notts wanted 83 to win with half their side in hand. Pike did not let a bye in the first innings of Kent, and only four in the match. K e n t . First Innings Mr. J. R. Mason, c Dixon, b Handford ...................10 A. Hearne, b Handford ... 9 Mr. F.
