Every batsman in the first innings of Essex obtained double figures, the lowest score being 11 by Mead (W.) A curious incident occurred during the innings. Bussell (T. M.) drove a ball to B. N. B. Blaker at extra mid-off, which the fieldsman took close to and, as it transpired, off the ground. He did not throw up the ball, but the batsman himself appealed to one of the umpires—Smith (A. F.)—who said “ out.” Bussell had started to retire when J. B. Mason, the Kent captain, learning that Blaker had not caught it, told him to resume batting. The batsman, however, failed to profit thereby. In the first innings of Kent, Bussell (T. M.) stumped four and caught two. Gloucestershire v. Sussex, at Bristol, August 5th and 6 th, In the second innings of Gloucestershire, B. W . Bice (10) and G. L.
