T h e Bexley Club has in its time furnished a good many cricket sensations. I have distinct recollection, some years ago, of a match in which they were dis­ missed by the Orleans Club for a small total of seven, mainly through the effective bowling of our old friend “ Spoff,” of Australian fame, who took eight of their wickets for only three runs. A s u r p r is e of quite another kind was supplied by Bexley much about the same time, to the extent of a record without the fall of a wicket. The actors ill this sensational piece were Messrs. J. Shuter and J. Ashdown, who scored 404 against Beckenham without the loss of a wicket. B e x l e y was at its old game again on Saturday. Their opponents were Sidcup, and the whole team, with one absentee, were dismissed, all of them clean bowled for three runs in which were two byes. An old friend, G. E . Southey, who used to perform for Kenley, took eight of the nine wickets for no runs, and what is more, also got rid of the absentee, who turned up and went in first in the second innings with his first ball. It deserves to be added that Bexley had a very fair side. Whatever the result, it is refreshing to see that the Bexley Club is still in evidence. Cricket readers, too, will learn with pleasure, too, that C. E . Homer— Surrey Homer that is— is still actively identified with the old club.

Considering all things, the management of the Hastings Week may be considered fortunate that K . S.
