There was no play on the first day of this match owing to rain, and on a wicket greatly in favour of the towlers Worcestershire did badly on Friday. Kent, on the other hand, did fairly well, and when stumps were drawn were leading by 62 runs, while Worcestershire had lost a wicket io the second innings. Again on Saturday Worcestershire could do next to nothing with the bowliDg of Mr. Ma«on, Hearne and Bljthe, and only just saved the innings defeat. W orcestershire . First innings.

R. W . SUSSEX V. SOMERSET. Played at Brighton on June 7, 8 and 9, Sussex won by ten wickets. Splendid baiting by Mr. S M. J. W oods and R«»n- jittinhji, and a collap? e by the t omerset team in the ►econd innings, were the features of this match. Mr. W oods has always t een veiy fond of the Sussex bowling in the matc hes at Brighton, and often enough he has given them a f-pecimen of what he can do in the way of hittii g whtn he is at bis best, but perhaps his innings on Thursday of 148 was the best of all the fine innings which he has played at Hove. H alf the Somerset wickets were down for 131 at lunch time, bat before the next wicket fell 120 runs had been put on in an hour and twenty minutes by Mr. W oods find Gill. Mr. W oods watt out n in h , having iatted in brilliant style for two hours and forty minutes, his hits including twenty 4’**. A t the close of the day Sussex had made 15 without loss against 377 by Somtrset. On Friday Sussex gave a display of batting which must have astonished even the Somerset team, accustomed as it is ic see its bowling knocked about. Nothin* remarkable w^s done until Ranjitsinhji joined Killick with the total at liO for three wickets. Io an hour and three-quarters the total was increased by 194 runs, when Ki'lick was out for a fine all-round innings of 127. made in two hours and twenty minutes. Ranjitsiohji continued to play beautiful cricket in partnership with Mr Newham, who, Relf having btrained himself, played in his place. A t the end of the day the Sussex total was 493 for t-ix wickets, Ranjitsinhji, despite his lameness, ha\in* put together 2C6 in about three hours and three- quarters. The r<maining wickets quickly fell on Saturday morning. Ranjiteinbji’s entire innings of 222, the highest of the year, lasted for four horns and ten minutes, and included thirty-five 4’s. There did not seem much chance of bringing the match to an end. but Tate and Bland bowled extremely well on a wicket which was a little worn, and Somersetshire lost Fix wickets for 79 before lunch. Afterwards Mr. W oods and Mr. Fowler put a better appearance on the game, but Sussex won with the greatest ease. S omerset . First innings. L. C. H. Palairet, b Bland 45 W .

HAMPSHIRE. Played at Birmingham on June 7, 8 and 9. Drawn. W ith the wealest of weak teams. Hampshire gave an unexpectedly good account of themselves in this match. 'Jhey batted first on a wet wicket, and did net distinguish ih*mselves, losing six wickets for 108 in the courne of two h'>ur» and forty minutes, the only time available for play on Thuisday. W ebb played a fine defensive innings, which prevented a cjilapse. The game underwent a most unloox ed for change on Fridav morning, for, taking advantage of several mistakes in the field, the Hampshire tail played up with astonuhing success. W ebb still continued to play admirable cricket, and, well backed up as he was, got within six runs of his hundred before he was out, after batting for four hours. Baldwin played a vigorous innings, and Budden followed his example. Ih e result was that the Hampshire total was very good indeed for the wicket. The Warwickshire batting was di-ap ointir g. and but fur the steady resistance cf W . G. Quaife the team would have fared very badly. Even as it was Warwickshire were ICO runs behind with only two wickets in hand when stumps were drawp. But. just as in the Hampshire innings, the tuil played up nobly, and the last two wickets added 99 runs to the total. Quaife carried his bat for 71. 'Jhere were more surprites in store on Saturday, for after Mr. Steele was out with the total at 5, Mr. Robson and Lieut. Sprot collared the bowling and put on 180 runs in partnership. The former plajed the iniangs of his life, and the latter batted admirably in every way. When each of them had made a hundred the innings was de clared, much too late to hope for a victory, and Warwickshire played out time with ease. H ampshire . First innings. Second innings. C.
