Cricket 1897

336 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 5, 1897. T H E CAN TERBU RY W EEK . KENT v. LANCASHIRE. A N IN N IN G S OF 244 B Y M R . M A C L A R E N . Played at Canterbury on August 2, 3, and 4. Lancashire won by an innings and 19 runs. Since last year’s “ "Week” several improvements Lave been made to the St. Lawrence ground in the way of additional seating and standing room for spectators, and it is now possible for all the spectators to watch the ciicket in comfort. As usual, the sur­ roundings of the field of play were very pretty to look upon, and, as usual, the town was decorated and illu­ minated in honour of the occasion. It was with regret that the spectators saw the Kent team turn out to fie%3, for it seemed pretty certain that there would be no chance of seeing them bat until the following day. The stand made by Mr. MacLaren and Ward confirmed this impression, for at lunch-time tbe Kent bowlers had not succeeded in taking a single wicket, while the score had risen to 143. This was a very unpromioing look-out, but in the first over after lunch W ard gave a chance to Alec Heame, and, although the fielder was not quite able to hold the ball, it fell into the safe hands of Mr. Mason, who was anxiously watching Alec’s attempt to bring off the catch. Of the total of 144, only 47 belonged to Ward, but it was a very well-played innings. After this, Kent were in some ways more fortunate, for every now and then a wicket fell. But still Mr. MacLaren kept up his end, reaching his hundred, then his 150, and finally his 200, just as he had done last year in the second inn­ ings of his county. He was not out till the last over of the day, when his score had amounted to 244; his cricket had been as nearly perfect as could be wished, and it was, moreover, attractive. The runs were made in just over five hours, and the innings included 38 fours. When stumps were drawn the total was 390 for nine wickets, and on Tuesday it was increased by nine. Alec Hearne and Mr. Mason began the Kent innings so well that they seemed likely to equal the record of the first two Lancashire men, but at 82. Mr. Mason was out for a fine 51, after twice being missed by Mr. MacLaren at point. Alec stayed for some time longer, and made the same score as the amateur, by very sound cricket. Unfortunately for Kent, the rest of the team did very little, although Mr. Mordaunt and Martin each made over 30. In the follow-on another good start was made, and at the end of the day the score was 53 for no wickets. But on Wednesday no one could help Mr. Mason, who played anothtr beautiful innings, closely ap­ proaching his hundred. L a n c a s h ir e .

Hampshire won by 186 runs. But for a collapse by the Derbyshire tail the Hamp­ shire score in the first innings would have been con­ siderably exceeded; as it was the southern county had a lead of 29. For Hampshire Webb, with 88, and Mr. Heseltine, who scored 70 in great foim at the end of the innings, were the only batsmen who made any runs, while Bagshaw and Mr. Wright alone scored heavily for the home team. When stumps were drawn on Tuesday Hampshire had put up 285 for 7 wickets, of which Captain Wynyard claimed 52 by brilliant cricket, Mr. Lacey 51 and Captain Quinton 60. The innings closed for 335, and as the Derbyshire men, except Chatterton and Walter Sugg, were “ off col­ our,’ ’ Hampshire won with ease H a m p s h ir e . First innings.

The victory which Leicestershire placed .to their credit last week does not seem to have given the side much confidence at present, and the county fared badly at the hands of Essex. They won the toss, but made such a small score that they practically put themselves out of the running. Pougher again appeared in the team, to the great delight of the spectators, and, although he did very little bowling, he played good cricket for 40. Essex obtained a mastery over the Leicestershire bowling, thanks to Mr. McGahey, who followed up his big innings at Brighton by another hundred. But there was, with this exception, nothing particularly attractive in the batting until Mead came in and made things lively, scoring 50 in a short time. Leicestershire at their second attempt did a little better, but at the end of the second days’ play were only 33 runs on with two more wickets to fall. Nevertheless before the match was won Essex had rather a scare. L e ic e s t e b s h ib e . First innings. O. J. B. Wood, b Kortright 15 Knight, c Fane, b Bull ... 41 H.H.
