In this match, which, owing to the bad weather on Thursday, was begun on Friday, W . Attewell, the famous old Notts bowler, nude his first appearance in first-class cricket this seas n on the side of the M.C.C. T e Rev. E. Pereira, who played for Warwickshire some time ago. was also one of the M.C.C. team. The feature of the match was the batting of W.G. in the second innings. He had no very great bowlers against him, it is true, but the wicket was not perfect owing to the wet, and only a very fine batsman could have made runs as he did. He made his runs in tw »hours and three-quarters, and at times he hit with an astonishing vigour. When his side had made 183 for five wickets he declared, leaving the M.C.C. to make 187 in two hm rs and three-quarters on a queer wicktt. There did not seem much chance that the runs would be made, but a shower at a most con­ venient time for the M.C.C. brought about a great change in the conditions u^der which the game was being played, and with a wet ball the London County bowlers could do very little. It was a near thing, for when only three-quarters of an hour remained for play the M.C.C. still required 63 runs, and as it was the game would have been drawn under ordinary circumstances, for the runs had not been made when time was up. But the game was in such an interest­ ing position, for the County were just as likely to get the remaining two wickets as the Club to get the run;*, that the two captains agreed to finish the game.

K EN T . Played at Canterbury on Aug. 23, 24 and 25. Kent won by 231 runs. The weather at Canterbury on Thursday was bad, but it cleared up sufficient1 y to allow Kent to com­ plete an innings of 232. For this they had chiefly to thank Mr. Burnup and Mr Stewart, the latter playing a very determined game, and scoring 77 in an hour and ten minutes. The Worcestershire men would have fared badly on Friday but for the fine batting of Mr. H. K. Foster, who alone was able to get well set; he played beautiful cricket, and made m iny excellent hits. Kent had a lead of 81, and proceeded to increase it with some rapidity. Alec Hearne, as usual, played a very careful game, and kept up his wicket for n-arly two hours while his partners took charge of the bowling. The feature of the day’s cricket was the partnership between Mr. Dillon and Mason, which produced 116 runs in an hour and five minutes, during which the Worcesters ire bowling was completely mattered. Mr. Dillon has ‘ been a decided acquisition to the Kent eleven When stumps were drawn. Mr. Mason was still unconquered, with 67 to his credit, and Kent had then a lead of 3*1 runs with five wickets still in hand. In three-quarters of an hour the remaining five Kent wickets fell for an additional 44 runs, and then Worces­ tershire had to play an almost hopelessly uphill game. The two F.stere and Arnold m de a plucky fight, but the tail collapsed. K e n t . First innings. C. J.

SU SSEX v. Y O RK SH IR E . HARRY BUTT’ S BENEFIT MATCH. Played at Brighton on August 23, 24 and 25. Drawn. Not so unfortunate as Mead, who was enjoying (?) a benefit at Leyton, Butt could look upon the weather with some approach to satisfaction, for although it was not possible to begin the match before three o’ cl jck, some five or six thousand people paid for ad­ mission. There had been several showers during the early morning, and when Ranjitsinhji won the toss he was evidently in doubt as to what to do with his good fortune. W ith most of his team he inspected the
