Kent won b y ten wickets. Unfortunately for Kent, Dillon was unable to play, his place being taken by Hardinge. On the opening day as many as eighteen wickets fell for 421 runs, the home side, when the day’s play concluded, being 65 ahead with two wickets to fall. The Somerset batting was verv unequal, Martyn, who scored 80, being the only man to exceed 20. He made many fine drives, and obtained his runs out of 129 in one hundred minutes. Thanks chiefly to him the 100 went up in seventy-five minutes with only two wickets down, but at lunch-time five were down for 149, Fielder sending back Woods and Hardy with successive balls. The innings closed for 178. In reply Kent lost Seymour and Day for 30, but Hearne succeeded in staving, and played a very good game for his side. He made 50 out of 119 in ninety minutes, and with Hubble added 41 for the fourth wicket. Marsham and Hardinge then put on 32 for the seventh wicket, and the latter and Huish 31 for the eighth. At the end of the day Fairservice and Huish added 61 without being separated in thirty-five minutes. On Tuesday the pair continued together until the stand had realised 94 in fifty-five minutes. Huish made a great effort to reach three figures, and failed by 7 runs only, his 93, obtained in 90 minutes, being the highest score he has ever made in first- class cricket. His chief strokes were a five and fourteen 4’s. Somerset, 144 behind, opened their second innings well, Martyn and Johnson scoring 69 for the opening partnership in half-an-hour. The wicket-keeper, who claimed all the first 25 runs made from the bat, hit two balls out of the ground, a third having to be requisitioned. He arid Phillips were sent back by consecutive balls from Woolley, who took six wickets for 39 during the innings. Kent made light of the task set them, and won easily by ten wickets.

On a wicket which had obviously been over­ watered, and which improved as the day went on, Essex were all disposed of for 180, made in three hours and a quarter. Douglas and Carpenter put on 33 for the first partnership, but at lunch time six wickets were down for 109, and, later, eight for 133. Turner again played a sound and most valuable innings, scoring 66 out of 108 in one hundred and twenty-five minutes without making amistake. He drove in fine style, and hit seven 4’s. His partner­ ship with Russell for the ninth wicket realised 42. Lancashire lost Spooner at 12, but Tyldesley and MacLaren put on 42 for the second wicket, and the former and Sharp 56 for the fourth in half-an-hour. Tyldesley reached 53 out of 95 in seventy minutes, and, when stumps were drawn, had made 83 not out without a chance of any kind. On Tuesday Lancashire, who were only 5 behind, and had six wickets to fall, lost Tyldesley from the first ball sent down. He had batted for one hundred and fifteen minutes without giving a chance, and hit thirteen 4’s. The concluding portion of the innings was noticeable for a partnership of 80 for the eighth wicket in seventy minutes by Outtell and Findley. The professional reached 50 in 70minutes, and was in for an hour and a quarter for his 68; he gave two chances. The innings closed for 321. Essex, 111 behind, lost Douglas and Carpenter for 4, but, fortu­ nately for the side, Perrin was at his best. With McGahey he added 75 for the third wicket in 45 minutes, and with Turner 51 for the fourth in a similar period. He hit eleven 4’s, and scored his 73 out of 126 in 95 minutes. The finest batting of the day, however,was shown by Turner,who hit thirteen 4’s in his 80, made out of 171 in one hundred and ten minutes. Reeves continued the good work with such energy that whilst he and Turner were together 81 were put on in thirty-five minutes, Reeves, who claimed 54 of the number, hitting ten 4’s. The last four wickets fell for 14 runs, and Lancashire were set only 124 to win. Owing to an injury, Cuttell was unable to bowl in the second innings of Essex-a severe loss to his side. Yesterday the visitors made a great effort to pull off the match, MacLaren being out second ball, Spooner at 31, and Poidevin at 44. Tyldesley, Sharp, Hornby and Cuttell, however, all made useful sc u-es, and Lancashire eventually won by four wickels. Buckenham made a very great effort for his side, and bowled with admirable judgment. Score and analysis:— E ssex . First innings.

NOTTINGHAMSH IRE. Played at Lord’s on June 11, 12 and 13. Notts won by 52 runs. With Bosanquet, MacGregor, Hunt and Hearne all away, Middlesex had far from their best side for this important match, whilst Wass was still an absentee from the Nottinghamshire team. For the opening day scoring did not rule so high as was anticipated, twenty wickets going down for 322, the visitors leading by 68 runs with all their wickets in hand when play concluded. Although Jones and Iremonger made 62 for the first wicket in forty minutes, four men were out by the time the score had reached 73, whilst, when Trott had sent back Payton and Turner with consecutive balls, six wickets were down for 77. Hardstaff and Day then put on 56 for the seventh wicket in forty-five minutes, the former, who drove and glanced to leg in capital style, batting ninety-five minxites for his score of 62. Thanks to a partnership of 35 for the last wicket, the total reached 178. Trott bowled in fine form throughout, taking seven wickets for 73. Middlesex made a poor start, Warner, G. W. Beldam, Tarrant and Bashford being all out for 85. Ernest Beldam scored 45, but he never appeared really comfortable. No other player reached 20, Notts gaining a lead of 51 on the first innings- an advant­ age which they succeeded in slightly increasing ere play ceased by scoring 17 without loss in their second innings. On the next morning only 10 runs were added ere G. Gunn was dismissed, but, Jones and Iremonger then coming together, a long stand was lT^de for the second wicket. Jones reached 50 out of 100 in seventy minutes, aud had made 89 out of 141 in one hundred and five minutes by very bright cricket ere being sent back by a very good catch on the part of Bashford. Hehit fourteen 4’s, and helped to put on 141 for the second wicket in eighty minutes. Iremonger, who cut and drove well, made his highest score of the season, obtaining 85 cut of 187 in one hundred and ten minutes. He hit nine 4’s, and gave'a chance when he had made 54. Nearly everybody on the side made runs, with the result that the innings realised 347, made in two hundred and fifty minutes, Middlesex being set 399 to win. Ernest Beldam, who opened the innings with Warner, was in twenty minutes for a single, being dismissed at 15, but G. W. Beldam and Warner succeeded in playing out time without being separated, adding 92 runs for the second wicket. The last-named, who was missed when 15. reached 50 out of 84 in ninety minutes, whilst his partner, who should have been out for 23, had reached 41 when play ceased. Yesterday, G. W. Beldam was stumped when 104 had been added for the second wicket, whilst at 142 Warner was sent back for 73, made in 155 minutes. The last-named hit ten 4’s. Tarrant and Foley put on 45, but the best stand was for the fifth wicket, .by Trott and Tarrant, which realised 104, of which the former, who hit eight 4’s, claimed 81, made in ninety-five minutes. Tarrant played a very patient innings, scoring only 45 in 235minutes out of 202 made whilst in. The home side made a very fine fight, but Notts managed to pull through by 52.
