Kent won by four wickets. As the batting of the Middlesex team seems to be better this year than ever there was rto reason to suppose, when stumps were drawn on Thursday, that they would not at least easily equal the Kent total of 293. In fact, it was generally felt that Kent had hardly made enough runs to stand any chance of winning, for the wicket was excellent and promised to be good all through the match. The Kent batting was on the whole not as attractive as u ual. for with the exception of Mr. Stewart who ha 1a good deal of luck in making his 62, no one was in long enough to get the upper hand of the bowling. On Friday morn­ ing. from the way in which the batsmen shaped, it was evident that there would be great difficulty in making runs, and when the famous Middlesex batsmen went out one after another for the smallest of scores, it was prophesied that the match would be over before night. Mr. Stoddart w»s the only man who could keep up his end until Hearne and Phillips got together for the last wicket, and knocked the howling about. A follow on was necessary. The wicket was rapidly improving, but the leeway of 161 runs seemed a little too great for the visitors to make up without losing several wickets. A good attempt was made to put matters on a better footing, but no one was ever able to obtain a mastery over the bowling and runs were always made with difficulty. Mr. Warner, Mr. Stoddart, and Dr. Thornton were successful, but the two men who have recently done so much for Middle­ sex, Mr. Ford and Mr. Webbe, were unfortunate. When play ended Middlesex had lost nine wickets and were only 69 runs on. On Saturday the total was only increased by six and Kent had the easy task, or what Feemed the easy task, of making 76. W right and Mr. Bradley lrowled finely in both innings of Middlesex. It was soon seen that Kent were by no means out of the wood, for J. T. Hearne was in great form, and before the match was over six wickets had fallen, five of which fell to him for 32. It was a splendid fight and it was a pity that a dozen extra runs were not required.

A r e m a u k a k l e m a t c h . Played at Trent Bridge on June 24, 25 and 26. Drawn. In every way this match was out of the common. In former days the scoring when Yorkshire met Notts was almost invariably small, owing to the strength of the bowling on both sides and the keenness of the fielding. Nowadays all this is altered, chiefly because of the good wickets. There was no storm as in the south of England to take any part in this match— only a little rain which had no effect on the pitch — Yorkshire was without Mr. Jackson, Tunnicliffe, and Mr. Smith, but their places were filled by good men. On the Urst day York-hire made 364; Brown, Moor­ house, Lord Hawke, and Milligan playing particu­ larly well. This big total did not discourage tne Notts men in the lea-'t. bhrewsbury and Gunn were in such splendid form that) spectators were reminded of their partnership of a few years ago ; they came together with the score at 33 and raised it to 176 in a couple of hours, by batting which was almost perfect. Shrews­ bury missed his hundred by seventeen, but Gunn was more lortunate, and was not disposed of until he had made 110. After this Mr. Dixon scored 64, and by the end of the day the total was within four of that of Yorkshire, with four wickets still in hand. So far there was nothing in the match to point to victory for one side or the other, but Dench (32 not out) and Attewell (13 not out) altogether upset the calculations of the Yorkshire bowlers. Attewell very nearly re­ peated his feat against the Kent bowlers of making a hundred, and Dench, *h o is the most useful man discovered by Notts for years, made 75. The result of this fine stand was that Yorkshire were 126 behind when they went in again on Saturday, and before they had been batting very long they saw that they would have to fight very hard to stave off defeat; in fact, when they had lost five wickets for 85, with two hours remaining for play, while the Notts team were working like a machine, a victory for Notts seemed probable. But then Lord Hawke and Peel came together and wore out the bowling, until all chance of defeat was gone. After that they scored rapidly, and in the end their county had none the worst of the draw. It was a fine finish to a fine game. Lord Hawke carried his bat for 91—a great innings. Y orkshire . First innings. Second innings.
