Cricket 1895

332 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g . 8, 1895. KENT V . WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Canterbury August 5th, 6th, and 7th. Kent, but for the absence of W . Hearne, had their best team, and Warwickshire gave a place to the Rev. E. Pereira, of the Oratory, Birmingham. Mr. J. E. Hill also strengthened the eleven. The wicket at the start was slow, and showers of rain interfered with and finally cut ehort the first day’s play. Warwickshire won the toss, and Bainbridge and Walter Quaife made a very good start, and by cautious play put on 41 runs in just over an hour, the professional completing his 1,000 runs this season. Bradley, the new fast bowler, performed veiy well, and wickets fell rather quickly, half the side being out for 94. W ith the exception of the Rev. E. Pereira none of the batsmen could cope with the bowling, and when the rain at last stopped play eight wickets were down for 128. On Tuesday, Pereira was soon out for a most valuable 34 made in capital style, and the innings closed for 144. Kent began very well with J. R. Mason and Alec Heame, the amateur playing a very fine innings. The first wicket went at 70 Heame’s share being 34, but three wickets fell before Mason found another partner to stay with him for any length of time, though he still scored so well that the fourth wicket fell for 134. Stewart then came in, and Mason, who had just before given a chance when 66, and he raised the score to 199 in half an hour, Mason giving another chance when 91. Mason and Stewart both left shortly before play was adjourned, the score then being 220 for six wickets. Yesterday the wicket was rendered treacherous by hot sunshine after the recent rain, and the remaining wickets fell for the addition of 58 runs, Marchant meking a capital 52 in an hour and five minutes by eight 4’s, six 2’s, and eight singles. Warwick were 134 to the bad, and began badly in their second attempt, half the side being out for 83, though Bainbridge and the two Quaifes tried their hardest to put their team in a better position, and 35 were scored in less than half an hour before the amateur was bowled. Mr. Pereira again played well, but the result was never in doubt, Bradley and Martin sharing the wickets and Kent winning a brilliant victory by an innings and 15 runs.

The normal excitement in northern cricket circles caused by the meetings of the elevens representing the rival roses was this year intensified by the positions the counties hold in the champion­ ship competition. And, therefore, no doubt it was that the attendance on Monday was a record for the ground—25,331 persons paying gate. Both counties put in the field their strongest elevens; with the exception that Mr. E. Smith, married on Saturday, was of course not assisting Yorkshire. The result of the day’s play was a testimony to the value of amateur aid in a county team, even when that county team is that of the many acred shire. The wicket was slow and difficult when Lancashire went in, and for two hours and three quarters their batsmen were fighting hard for runs, which, after all, numbered but 103. Two men only played up to theii reputation, Paul staying in an hour and a half for 24, and Briggs hitting up the same number in half the time. Peel bowled especially well, and though Hirst got but one wicket, it is worthy of note that it was his hundredth this season in first-class cricket. Yorkshire opened with the university batsmen, Jackson and Mitchell, and playing in most attractive style on what must have been a difficult pitch, this pair scored so well that they looked like passing- the Lancastrian score before being parted But at 96, Baker going on after the regular bowlers had failed, got Mitchell caught at the wicket. Tunnicliffe gave no trouble, but Brown stayed until at 135 Jackson was out for a superb display lasting two hours and ten minutes Denton and Wainwright were cheaply got rid of before play closed for the day. When the game should have been resumed the wicket was quite unfit for play, and the weather not improving no play took place on Tuesday. Yesterday the wicket, tnough soft, was easy at the start, but Brown soon left, but Moorhouse and Lord Hawke stayed together a long time, and by their efforts the total had been advanced to 279 for seven, when the Yorkshire captain declared. Lancashire began their second innings 167 behind, but a good stand was made for the first wicket by Ward and Maclaren, and this being followed up by the later batsmen, when time was called Lancashire were 60 runs on with two wickets to fall, the game being thus left drawn.

Essex, though without Pickett, R. C. Gosling, and H. A. Arkwright, had a very good team for this match, whilst Leicestershire left out Whiteside and Holland for Chapman and Bacon. Though the wicket did not promise well, the Essex captain took first innings, and his judgment was justified by a very good score. H. J. Owen, himself, failed, but Carpenter and F. L. Fane made a capital stand for the second wicket, having made 88 by capital cricket when the second wicket fell at 99. Messrs. Lucas and McGahey failed, but Carpenter found an able partner in Mr. A . S. Johnstone, who made his first appearance this season for Essex. Carpenter left at 143, of which he had made 87 without any chance, and in the course of two hours and twenty minutes had hit seven 4’s and nine 3’s. For the sixth wicket John­ stone and Burns added 43 runs, and Russell and Mead each scoring over 20, the aggregate reached 245, the nnings having lasted three hours and three quarters. Rain then fell and, after a brief interval of play, in which Leicestershire scored five without loss, came on in such severity that the game was adjourned. On Tuesday not a ball was bowled, rain falling in large quantities. Yesterday, on a difficult wicket, play was resumed, and the bowlers had matters all their own way, wickets falling fast until Pougher and De Trafford got together, when matters much improved, the innings closing leaving Essex a lead of 101. Essex began their second innings moderately, but Carpenter played well, the innings being declared at 62 for three. This was not quite in time as Leicester­ shire, despite a feeble display, managed to play out time, having two wickets to fall and being 107 behind. Score and analysis :— E ssex . First Innings.
