Although for some days before this match Brighton had to a great ex'ent escaped the rain, the wicket was very alow, more particularly in the morning. Sussex began badly enough by losing Vine wit*> the total at 6 and Killick at 13, but Fry and Ranjitsinhji added 50 for the third wicket, and although Braun only made 7, Newham was in excellent foim. He stayed with Fry for a little more than an hour aud a half, and never looked like getting out; his partner­ ship with Fry produced 122runs. Meanwhile t ry bad been playing a strong but steady game, scoring his fir«it 60 in two hours and twenty minutes, his hundred in three hours and a quarter, and when he was at last dif-pored of. he had been latticg for four hours for 138, an innings which was worthy of himself When stumps were drawn the total was 28J for nine w ckets, from which it will be eesn that the average rate of scoring was by no mpans con­ siderable. On Tuesday morning the inoings was promptly Irought to a conclusion, and Kent then proceeded to give a tine account of themselves, begin­ ning well with Burnup and Alec Hearne, who put up 65 for the first wicket in an hour and a half. Sey­ mour joined Burnup, and both men played excellent cricket. At lunch time the former had made 23, and Burnup 49, with the total at 1' 6, and it was not until the partnership had been responsible for 107 runs that Burnup was ditmissed for a very useful and particu­ larly good 80, which he had put together in about three hours. For a time after this the bowlers met with success, but later Hardinge and Hutchings played well, and gradually the Sussex total was approached. The scorir.g had. on the whole, been as slow as that on the previous day, and when stumps were drawn the total was exactly the same as that of the Sussex innings, viz , 283, but only nine wickets were down. Yesterday the last two m^n added four runs. Sussex in their second inniDg* began well with Fiy and Vine, ihe latter makiog 25 whi e his partner made teo. But Fry presently b gan to score m re quickly, and had scored abcut ha f the runs when Vine was out at 74—at 70 each man hud made 31. Killick made 14 in about three quarttr* of an hour, and then a fine partnership ensued between Fry and ftanjithinhji. who both obtain* d a complete mastery over the bowling. Ranjitsinbji was seen at his very best, and only took three quaittrs of an hour to reach his tO. Sussex were now safe from defeat, and the only question was whea ihe declaration would made. 1 his came about immediately after Fry, for the stcond time in the match, had made a hundred. Be has accomp ished this feat three times duricg his career. Kent were left to make 230, and lost wickets so quickly that it looked as if they might possibly be teaten, but by steady play they s*ved themselves from this. S u ssex . First innings.

Played at Scarborough on August 31, September 1 and 2. Players won by an innings and 8 runs. With Fry, Ranjitsinhji, and L. C. H. Palairet en­ gage! iu county matches, and other men, Maclaren and Jessop for example, not available,the Gentlemen’s team could by no mean* be considered representative. On the other hand the Players although not at thtir strongest had a powerful team. On the first day’s play the Gentlemen h-.d much the worst of the game, for although they scored 200, which ia these days is a formidable total, the Players put up 98 for the loss of only two wickets. The Gentlemen lost their first three wickets for 16 runs, W. L. Foster being in for half an hour for his three runs, but F. S. Jacksonand P. F. Warner then played fine cricket with the result that during their partnership they put on 51 runs in an hour. Por his 27 Jackson was ba ting for an hrnr and ten minutes. Warner stij continued to play a beautiful but exceedingly patient game, and he survived until he had made 79 in thiee hours. It must be admitted that the cricket played by the Gentl-men as a whole was not of the attractive kind which is usually associated with Gentlemen’s teams. But if the spectators had suffered for the greater part of the day, they were rewarded by seeing tome very lively cricket when the Players went in for an hjur and ten minutes. Tunnicliffe played a par'icu arly pleasiog game, and made his 39 in three-quarters of an hour, his score being made up of eleven singles and seven 4’s. The Players weie seen to great advantage on Tuesday, the only man who failed being Thompson. Tyldesley was in splendid form, and made 79 in an hour and three-quarters, his partnership with J. Gunn yielding 81 in less than an hour. Hirst again played admirable cricket, and later in the inniDgs Rhodes set about the ta'-k of making the 76 runs which he required to com­ plete his thousand for the season, and met with such success that before he was out he had the satisfaction of accomplishing the feat. The Gentlemen had to go in against abalance *f 241, and in the three-quarters of an hour remaining for play scored 68for threewickets. Yesterday, whatever chances they may have had of making a good fight were spoilt by the rain, which delayed play until a few minutes past one o’clock. Nearly every man on the aide made a useful score, and the tail played up so well that it was quite on the cards that the g»me would be drawn. But the bowlers always had slightly the best of the situation. G bntlimbn . First innings. Second innings. W.L.Fos er, c Trott,b Hirst 3 b Rhodes ..........20 R. H.
