Drawn. For the fifteenth time in succession Kent lost the toss. For the visitors neither Bosanquet, Hunt nor MacGregor played, but W. P. Harrison, who played in the match for Kent the previous year, now made his first appearance for Middlesex. Warner, who was twice missed, helped Tarrant to score 49 for the first wicket in 40 minutes, whilst Payne, who fol­ lowed, played a lucky but useful innings of 40, which contained six 4’s and was made out of 56 in ten minutes under the hour. When three wickets had fallen Huish strained himself and Hubble kept wicket in his stead. Trott, who was missed when 29, made some superb hits, and reached 50 in 35 minutes; altogether he scored 73 out of 92 in 50 minutes, and hit a six and eleven 4’s. The highest score of the innings, however, was made by the old Rugbeian, Harrison, whe scored 93 out of 241 in 175 minutes, hitting eight 4’s and making some capital strokes on the off-side. With Trott he put on 80 for the sixth wicket in 55 minutes, with Hearne 61 for the seventh in 45, and with Mignon 49 for the tenth in half-an-hour. In response to a total of 366, Kent made 23 for the loss of Marsham’s wicket before stumps were drawn. On the following day Mignon bowled so well that when the sixth wicket fell the total was only 117. At this critical time, when Kent, with but four wickets to fall, were 219 behind, K. L. Hutchings went in and played a splendid game. Blaker, who was missed before scoring, hit nine 4’s in his 55, and helped him put on 64 for the seventh wicket. Hutchings might have been caught when 20, but made no other mistake. Huish, who batted in evident pain, was in nearly two hours for 17, an innings the value of which was far greater than one would imagine from a perusal of the score. He played a steady game whilst his partner hit out, the ninth wicket adding no less than 105. Hutchings made his 125 in 130 minutes, and hit a 6 and seven­ teen 4’s Thanks almost entirely to him, the lead of Middlesex on the first innings was restricted to 20. On going in again tho visitors lost Tarrant from the first ball sent down and Beldam at 42. Payne and Warner then succeeded in remaining together until time, when Middlesex, with eight wickets in hand, were 144 ahead. On Saturday the partnership for the third wicket lasted until it had realised 182. Payne, who was missed when 47 and 51, batted two hours and three-quarters for 81, whilst Warner, who played a rather lucky innings of 122 out of 224 in three hours, was missed when 88 and hit fourteen 4’s. Humphreys afterwards bowled so irresistibly that the last eight wickets fell for 47, liis analysis for the whole innings being 7 for 33. Kent were left 225 minutes in which to get 292 to win, and lost Humphreys at 6, Hubble at 41 and Woolley at 44. Seymour and Mason then added 69 for the fourth wicket, but six were down for 134, and a victory for Middlesex appeared a probability. Hutchings, however, played another brilliant innings and almost succeeded in obtaining two separate hun­ dreds in the match. His stand with Marsham for the seventh wicket realised 80, the last-named claiming but 14 of the number. Hutchings took 140 minutes to obtain his runs, and, apart from a chance when 19, made no mistake. Huish went in, last man, twelve minutes before time, and succeeded in keeping up his wicket. When stumps were drawn Kent, with a wicket to fall required 39 to win. There were as many as 93 extras in the match, 69 of them being byes. Score and analysis M id d lesex. First innings. P. F.

YORKSH IRE . Played at Nottingham on June 21, 22 and 23. TWO SEPARATE 1 0 0 ’ 8 BY DENTON. Drawn. For the first time since meeting with his accident in the Surrey match at Trent Bridge on Whit- Monday Wass assisted Notts, Taylorstanding down. Yorkshire lost Rothery at 23, but Rhodes and Denton made full amends for this early disaster by an excellent partnership for the second wicket The 100 was reached in 85 minutes, and it was not until the pair had added 170 together in 150 minutes that Rhodes was bowlod for a good innibgs of 83 made out of 193 obtained whilst in. Denton, who made some fine cuts and hit well to leg, batted three hours for his 107, hitting sixteen 4’s. He reached 50 out of 81 in 65 minutes by means of ten 4’s and ten singles, and, apart from giving chances when 92 and 103, made no mistake. The remainder of the day’s play was noteworthy for some fine bowling by John Gunn, who brought such a change over the game that, although the score was 193 when the second wicket fell, the innings closed for 266. The left­ hander took eight wickets for 93, at one time obtaining five for 25. When the home side had scored eight runs without loss play oeased for the day. On Friday Jones and John Gunn wore seen at their best. The former, who hit well all round the wicket and made no mistake, batted 125 minutes for his 78, whilst the latter, who was badly missed by Denton when 26, was in two hours and forty minutes for 80. Jones hit ten 4’s and J. Gunn a 5 and six 4’s, their partnership for the fifth wicket realising 139 in 125 minutes. Both were sent back by Rhodes, whose analysis for the innings was six for 95. Possessed of a lead of 13 on the first innings, Yorkshire increased this advantage to 52 by the time stumps were drawn,and had still eight wickets to fall. On Saturday Denton, for the second time in the match, made a hundred, he being the first York- shireman to accomplish that at-one-time rare per­ formance in important cricket. He reached 50 out of 87 in 110 minutes, and, altogether, batted for four hours and a-half for 109 not out, hitting a 5 and ten 4’s. He might have been caught when 68, but made no othermistake. Priortolast weekhe hadnevermade a 100 against Nottinghamshire bowling. Hirstmade 76 out of 109 in 100minutes, but was missed when he had made a single, and again when 13. Off an over from Wass he scored 19, and, with Denton, added 109 for the fourth wicket in an hour and 40 minutes. When 256 had been made for six wickets the innings was declared closed, the home side being left 130 minutes in which to obtain 270 to win. Jones was sent back with only a single scored, but, although the third wicket fell at 77, there never appeared any First innings. Rhodes, b J.
