J uly 21, 1898. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 285 KENT v. YORKSHIRE. Y O R K S H IR E ’ 8 F IR S T D E F E A T O F TH E SEASO N . Played at Maidstone on July 14, 15 and 16. Kent won by six wickets. If Mr. Burnup did not make another run for Kent during the season he would have deserved well of his county for his splendid play in the second inniDgs against Yorkshire, for despite the good all-round piny of the t?am the victory might not have been gained but for the fi9 not out of the Cambridge Blue. On Thursday Yorkshire had much the best of the game, for although they did not make a total as large as usual, they had got rid of four of the best men on the Kent side for 34 runs only. But on the following day there was a startling change in the fortunes of the game. The rest of the Kent team to a man played up splendidly, with the result that the innings came to the same total as that of Yorkshire. Nobody did anything particularly brilliant, but each wicket pro­ duced its fair share of runs. The Yorkshire second innings was a surprise. It is true that theMaidstone ground has not the reputation of being one of the best in England, but when one after another of the Yorkshiremen came to be disposed of for next to nothing, spectators began to wonder what, wts the matter. Alone in the midst of the general failure, Denton stood out prominently. His innings of 64was made by perfect cricket, of the kind which was best suited to the situation. Wright and Martin bowled remarkably well. Kent had to make only 125 to win. This was a small enough total for a hard wicket, but the collapse of the Yorkshiremen was sufficient to show that there might be very great difficulty in making the runs. By the end of the day, however, Alec Heame and Mr. Bumup had put on 25 without loss, so that with all their wickets intact, Kent had to make 100 on Saturday. The 25 was made into 42 before the first wicket fell, and as the second wicket added another 43 runs, it was pretty evident that Kent would win with ease. When it was too late, Haigh took two wickets in a few minutes. Mr. Burnup carried his bat for 69, an innings which was almost perfect in its way. But if an easy chance at mid-off had been taken when his score was 19,his side might have been very hard pushed before they won. Y orksh ire . First innings. Second innings.

SOMERSET. Played at Bristol on July 14, 15 and 16. Gloucestershire won by an innings and 7runs. At the present moment Gloucestershire would be a particularly hard nut for any county to crack. With W. G. in tremendous form as a bowler, not to Fay as a bat, with most of its young players in great form, and with two bats such as Air. Townsend and Mr. Troup, with a fair amount of bowling, and lots of esprit de corps, the county will‘take a good deal of beating. Following up their 504 at Birmingham, at the beginning of last week. Gloucestershire made 431 on Thursday for the loss of only five wickets. This big total was due chiefly to the efforts of two men, Mr. Troup and Mr. Townsend; but W. G., Mr. Sewell, and Mr. Jessop also took a hand in the g»me. The two highest scorers came together with the score at 33, and put on 236 together in just over three hours. They both played splendid cricket, *»nd Mr. Troup showed that he can on occasion make runs as quickly as other people. Mr. Jessop, in making his 65 in less than an hour, showed all his old intrepidity, though he was not seen quite at his be»t. On Fridav a well-played 52 by Wrathall helped to swell the total, aud the great question of interest was whether the matchwould be brought to a definite conclusion. The Somerset men, as a rule, did not shine in their attempt to save the follow-on ; but a really magnificent innings by Mr. Palairet redeemed the side from failure,although, despitehis determina­ tion, the follow-on was not saved. The innings was brought to an end on Friday night, and on Saturday Somerset just failed to save the innings defeat. The bowling of W . G. was distinctly a feature of the match. When he went on in the first innings he at one time had taken five wickets for only 10 runs; and, in the course of the game, he took twelve for 138—a great feat on a perfectly true wicket.
