Lancashire won by ten wickets. For once the Sussex men have entirely failed to rise to the occasion. For alas! of their two great batsmen one failed in both ionings, while the other was run out in the first when he w a s poing ho well that he w a s capable of winning the match off bis own bat, and he too failed—or almost failed (which, as far as Sussex was concerned, is almost the same thing) in the second innings. But it was the run out which did the mischief ; it was one of those accidents of the game which change the fortunes of sides. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred the run would have just been made, but in this case Mr. Hartley happened to throw down the wicket. Ranjitsinhji had then made 66, not quite as rapidly as usual of late on the slow wickets, but by beautiful cricket. At the end of the first day’s play there was nothing to choose between the two teams, for Lancashire haa made 123 for nine wickets against 147. On Tuesday, the innings was concluded tor eight more ruos, and Sussex had a lead of 16 runs. Thus everything pointed to a close finish But Mr. Fry was stumped off Briggs, and Ranjitsinhji only stayed just long enough to frighten Lancashire a little, and with the exception of Relf the others collapsed before Mold. Lancashire had only to make 90 runs, and Mr. Mac- Laren and W ard proved equal to the task o f knocking them off. S ussex . First innings. C. B.

KENT. Played at Clifton on August 13, 14, and 15. Gloucestershire won by 111 runs. Although Mr. Jessop, who has suddenly gone completely out of form, made a duck’s egg, most of the other members of his team so greatly distin­ guished themselves that the total of the first innings was a large one, as things go at present after the heavy raios. There were nome great contrasts iu the course of the ionings. The first two batsmen, Mr. Rice and Wrathall, put on 101 in an hour and a half, and in two hours and a half 141 runs had been made for two wickets. The third wicket added 32, and then Alec Hearne took three wickets with successive balls, his victims being Mr. Champaio, Mr. Jes*op, and Mr. Richard-on. After this Board made a useful stand with Mr. Townsend, who kept up his end with ease, and eventually carried his bat for a very fine innings of 109, made in three hours. Kent had about half an hour’s batting, and I st three wi kets for 21. Mr. Mason and Mr. Blaker played splendid cricket on Tuesday morning, b it they were not backed up, and the innings ended 179 behind. Gloucestershire went in again, and against the bowling of Mr. Bradlev fared verv badly indeed, the only two bats­ men who were able to make a stand being Mr. Town­ send and Mr. Champain. But with the very useful lead on the first innings Gloucestershire were able to put Kent in to make 282 runs. By the end of the day Kent were in a nearly hopel ss position for, with six wickets down, they had only made 126 runs. Mr. Burnup and Mr. Day both played good cricket, the former, however, takiog a long time -a n hour and a half—over his runs. Mr. Day was not out 45 when stnmps were drawn, and yesterday he increased this total to 61; like Mr. Burnup, he scored at far less than his usual rate. G loucestershire . First innings. R. W .

The wicket was much harder on Mondav than might have been anticipated after so much rain, but it was not by any means altogether in favour of the batsmen. Nevertheless, a very fine beginning was made by Mr. Jephson and Holland, the former wisely keeping very quiet, seeing that his partner was quite able to take charge of the bowling. The partnership produced 1 0 in an hour and a-half, of which Hollan 1 claimed 73. As a rule, Holland seems afraid to let himself go, and when he does hit out, is apt to do so in an hesitating manner, but on this occasion he seemed to have forgotten what it is to te nervous. After the partnership was broken, there was nothing remarkable in the batting, but Mr. Jephson still continued to play steady cricket, and Hayward batted well. Hamp­ shire lost two wickets for 60 before stumps were drawn, Webb being not out 22, and Mr. Sprot not out 17. The batting broke down on Tuesday morning, and Surrey had a lead of 119 runs. Hayes was in splendid form in the Surrey second innings, playing resolute cricket, and making more than his share of the runs. No one, however, backed him up, except Mr. Crawford, who played very fine cricket in his 69—at a time when he badly wanted a good score to his credit. The two men came together with the score at 28 for one wicket, Holland having begun the innings with Mr. Crawford, They were in partner­ ship for only three-quarters of an hour, but they hit so brilliantly that 93 runs were put on during that time. Thus when Mr. Crawford was out, after batting for t-ixty-four minutes for 69, the total was 121 for two wickets. Hayes continued to play most attractive cricket, his driving being the feature of his innings, and although he could get no one to stay with him for long, he managed to get within sight of his second hundred ; his 175 runs were made out of 286 in two hours and twenty minutes. Hampshire had to make 435, and although there was hardly the remotest chance that they would accomplish their task, they made 69 without loss before stumps were drawn (Mr. Newton 33 and W ebb 32). Yesterday, however, the end came sooner than was anticipated. S urrey . First innings. Second innings. D .L . A.
