Played at Leyton on June 12, 13 and 14. Kent won by nine wickets. Although there was no rain after ten o’clock in the morning on Whit Monday, at Leyton—that is to say until the afternoon—the wicket was so wet that no play was possible, and at half-past two it was decided to wait until Tuesday morning. On Tuesday, the game began punctually, Essex having the for­ tune to win the toss. Rungetting was very difficult at first, but Carpenter quickly made 21 out of the first 22 runs on the board. Fane and Reeves were soon out, the latter being finely caught high up with the left hand of A. P. Day. Perrin was unable to break through his run of bad luck, and McGahey did not get well settled. The playing was not very interesting until Gillingham arrived on the scene, and, by vigorous hitting, altered the appearance of the game considerably. One of his drives went over the players’ room, and another into the pavilion; he made his 39 in forty minutes. The tail were unable to do anything with Blythe, who bowled finely all through the innings. At lunch time Kent had made 26 without loss, and afterwards Alec Hearne, Humphreys, and Seymour all distinguished them­ selves. A. P. Day also played a very good innings, and with four wickets down for 181 Kent seemed in a splendid position ; but the tail fared badly against Tremlin, who bowled exceedingly well. Neverthe­ less, Kent had a lead of 145, and as they dismissed three of their opponents for 29 before stumps Avere drawn they seemed to have the match in hand. Yesterday Essex lost four more wickets in a few minutes,"but Gillingham and Douglas then made a most plucky stand, which produced 88 runs, and nearly saved the innings defeat. Another fine stand by Reeves and Gillingham who added 72 runs in three-quarters of an hour, still further postponed the inevitable defeat. But these brilliant efforts came too late and Kent won easily. E ssex . First innings. F. L. Fane, c and b Blythe 7 Carpenter, b B lythe......... 21 Reeves, c A. Day, b Hearne 3 C.

Owing to rain on the morning of Whit Monday, it was not possible to begin play in this match until one o’clock, and at twenty minutes to six rain again fell and play was abandoned for the dav. The wicket was slow and easy, and the bowlers were handicapped by a wet ball, but the Sussex batsmen could not get the ball away. Even C. B. Fry was very slow to get to work. At lunch time, after an hour’s play, the Sussex score was 44 for no wicket, but Fry and Vine scored faster afterwards, and had brought the total to 138 after a couple of hours’ batting, when Vine was caught and bowled from a hard return by G. I,. Jessop. Vine’s share of the runs Avas 43. After this the bowlers at once gained the upper hand and wickets fell rapidly. Fry Avas fourth out, Ibw, Aviththe total at 157of which he claimed 98; he was batting for two hours and a half, and played fine cricket. With the total at 173 for seAren wickets rain stopped play. On Tuesday, Leach and Cox added 42 for the eighth Avicket, and then Dennett in a single over dismissed Cox, Butt and Tate. Gloucestershire, on a Avicket which Avas becoming difficult, Avere unable to do much Avith Killick and Cox, although 'Jessop and Board for a time seemed likely to make a good score, and when the innings ended Sussex had a lead of 81. A most disastrous beginning Avas made by Sussex when they went in again. With the total at"four, Fry was caught at mid-on; Killick was IbAv before another run had been made; and at five, Goldie hit his wicket. But Vine and Relf came to the rescue of their side, and realising that, under the circum­ stances, boldness Avas likely to be more successful than caution, both men hit whenever the least opportunity presented itself. They both came off, and Vine had the someAvhat unusual experience of taking only about an hourand a-quarter to make his fifty, while Relf made 62 in an hour and a-half. Later in the day Cox and Leach made a most useful stand, and Avhen stumps were draAvn the total was 174 for eight wickets, Sussex thus being 255 runs on. Gloucestershire had to make 277 to win, but the only man Avho could Avithstand the Sussex bowlers for long Avas W. S. A. Brown, who kept up an end for an hour and a-half. S ussex . First innings. C.

Played at Worcester on June 12, 13 and 14. Abandoned. Although the wicket was good at Worcester on Whit Monday, the scoring Avas slow throughout the day, and only 294 runs were made. Quaife and Fish- Avick put up 81 for the fourth Avicket, and Santall and Loveitt 44 for the eighth. When Worcestershire went in Bowley and Pearson scored 86 without being separated, the fonner making 56 and the latter 28. The wicket Avas in excellent order on the next morning, and the first two Worcestershire men took the score to 127 before Pearson played on. H. K. Foster and Cuffe gave efficient help to BoAvley, Avho made 101 in three hours and a-half, but with the exception of Arnold the rest of the team did little. Although Worcestershire had a lead of 136 on the first innings, Wanvickshire had to go in against a balance of 136, and lost two wickets for84. Yester­ day they played for a draAv, and had practically accomplished their object when rain at half-past three caused the match to be abandoned. W arwickshire . First innings. J, F.

The cricket Avas of the greatest interest throughout the day. Lancashire ran up a total of 399 and then sent
