A u g . 8, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 335 T H E C A N T E R B U R Y W E E K . K E N T v. E S S E X . Played at Canterbury on August 5, 6 and 7. Drawn. Although the batting of the Essex team this seat:on has not always been as attractive as could have been wished, it left nothing to be desired on hank Holiday, when Epsex were at the wickets all day for the fine score of 432 for nine wickets. This is the first time that the Essex men have had a place in the Week. From the beginning of the match the play was attractive, each of the first two wickets producing 76 runs, the first in fifty minutes, the second in thirty-five minutes. Mr Fane had the chief share in each of them, his hitting on the off­ side being brilliant in the extreme, more particularly ouriup the second partnership. The rate of scoring fell off while Mr. Perrin and Mr McGahey were together; nevertheless, the third wicket partnership put up 56 in seventy-five minutes, fo r the fourth wicket there was another partnership of 76 It was broken bj' the dismissal of Mr. Perrin, who. in his very best form, had scored 104 in two hours and fifty minutes. Every man on the side scored double figures. The innings closed for 432, and then Mr. Buriiup and Mr. Dillon began very well for Kent, but at lunch time on Tuesday three wickets were down for 83. The fourth wicket fell at 115 aud then Mr. Mason and Alec Hearne made a much-needea stand, adding 103 runs in an hour and a half, and all the tail did well, so that Essex had not such a big lead aa seemed likely. Mr. Mason’s inniogs was worthy of a 1 praise. As the Kent innings was not completed until the close of the second day, it was long odds that the match wou d end in a draw, and there was never much chance yesterday that any other result would be arrived at.

WARWICKSHIRE v. WORCESTER­ SHIRE. Played at Edgbaston on August 5, 6, and 7. Warwickshire won by an innings and 22 runs. More than eleven thousand people paid for admis­ sion at Edgbaston on the Bank Holiday, and had the pleasure of seeing their own team batting all day for a soore of 377 for eight wickets. The first big stand was made by Kinneir and Mr. Byrne, who put on 164 for the second wicket in two hours and twenty minutes, the f >rmer playiog very attractive cricket. For the rest of the day W. G. Quaife was slowly making his way towards the hundred, and when stumps were drawn he was within 19 runs of accomplishing the feat, and was still not out. Charles­ worth scored 61 in an hour. On Tuesdav morniog Quaife accomplished his object just before the inniDgs closed ; he had been at the w ckets for three hours and fifty minutes for his 104, which was a very fine and very useful innings Worcestershire, on the whole, fared badly, although Mr. R. E. Foster played a great game In the follow-on Mr. Foster was again seen at his best, and he made a heroic effort to save the game. Arnold als> played a very fine inniD gs, but tbe rest of the team were not in fortune’s way. W a r w ic k sh ir e . First inniDgs. Devey, c H.

Leicestershire won by an innings and 45 runs. Although there is a theory that people will not go to see first-class cricket, except for a match in the County Championship, some ten thousand people turned up on the Leicester ground on the Bank Holiday. The chitf feature of ihe day’s cricket was the fine batting of King, who made his 135 in three hours and twenty-four minutes, only giving one desperately hard chance in the course of his innings. Mr. Wood played a valuable inniogs, helpiDg King to put on 95 runs in an hour and a half for the third wicket. At the end of the day Mr. Macdonald kept up his wicket while Mr. Joyce hit, and when stumps were drawn the total was S22 for six wickets. The score had been taken to 356 for seven wickets on Tuesday morning when rain stopped play for about an hour. Mr. Macdonald eventually carried his bat after a stay at the wickets of four hours and a-half. At the end of the second day London County had scored 111 for the loss of three wickets, Sewell and W. G. having batted very well indeed. Yesterday Mr. W. Smith and Mr. L. Walker distinguished themselves, but could not prevent the innings defeat. L eicestersh ire . C. E. de Trafford, cW.
