KENT. Played at Cheltenham on August 13, 14 and 15. Kent won by ten wickets. On the opening day Gloucestershire lost their first four wickets for 58 in sixty-five minutes, and so did well to score 220 ere the innings closed. The honours were carried off by Thomas, who, hitting well all round the wicket, scored 61 out of 124 in an hour and a-half without a mistake of any kind. He hit nine 4’s, and, with Champain, added 61 for the sixth wicket in forty-five minutes. Huggins, who hit six 4’s in his 33 not out, afterwards helped Brownlee to put on 35 for the eighth wicket in twenty minutes, the innings eventually closing for 220, made in one hundred and ninety minutes. Kent lost Burnup for a single, and, although Dillon and Seymour added 40 for the second wicket in half-an-hour, the total when play ceased for the day was only 74 for three wickets, Hutchings being sent back by a brilliant catch ere he had made a run. Tuesday’s play was delayed at the start by rain for an hour. Dillon and Mason remained together until the fourth wicket had put on 52, when the former, who hit five 4’s, was sent back for a most useful innings of 49 made out of 93 in one hundred minutes. Mason found another f ood partner in Humphreys, with whom he added 9 for the fifth wicket in half-an-hour ere being caught, after batting for an hour and three-quarters for 52, an innings which contained six 4’s. Mason was twice badly missed—by Jessop when 27. and immediately afterwards by Townsend. When Humphreys was finely stumped six wickets were down for 159, and, with Marsham and Huish soon out, the end appeared to be well in sight. Blaker and Blythe, however, hit out well, and, favoured by the field, put on 68 for the ninth wicket in fifty minutes. Blaker, who hit seven 4’s, was last man out for a capital 68 made out of 113 in an hour and three-quarters It was owing chiefly to him that Kent were able to claim a lead of 25 on the first innings. In the last fifty minutes of the day the home side lost Barnett. Wrathall and Townsend for 42, being then only 17 runs on with seven wickets in hand. Yesterday Jessop quickly hit up 26, included in which were five 4’s, after which Board and Thomas added 48 in half-an-hour for the fifth wicket. Board, although let off when 42, gave a good display, and played the best cricket of the side. W ith the last five wickets falling for 31, the innings closed for 156, Kent being left 132 to win. W ith the knowledge that the wicket was far from favouring run-getting, considerable uncertainty was felt at to what m ight happen, but, so well did Burnup and Dillon play that the visitors succeeded in obtaining the necessary runs without loss, winning in great style by ten wickets.

Played at Brighton on August 13, 14 and 15. Drawn. Some extraordinarily Blow cricket was seen at the commencement of this match, the first twenty minutes’ play producing only a wide and a single to Vine off eight overs. The first wicket stand realised 73 in two hours. Killick quickly obtained 14, but, against the bow ling of Gregson, the next few wickets fell quickly, the score, when play ceased for the day, being 173 for seven wickets, made in two hundred and thirty minutes. A. E. Relf carried out his bat for 27, for which he was at the wickets an hour and-a-lialf. On Tuesday 31 were put on for the last three wickets, the innings terminating for 204, made in four hours and-a-half. A. E. Relf scored 38 out of 98 in two hours, and with Butt added 23 for the last wicket. The visitors quickly lost Spooner and Makepeace, but Poidevin and Tyldesley atoned somewhat by putting on 68 for the third wicket in an hour. Tyldesley hit four 4’s in his 42, but was not seen at his best. When the sixth wicket fell the total was only 118, but, Findlay then joining Sharp, so fine a resistance was made that the seventh wicket put on 147 in ninety-five minutes. Sharp scored 117 out of 227 in one hundred and fifty minutes, his best strokes being on-drives and square cuts. He hit eleven 4’s, and was twice missed—when 51 and 59. Hornby, who made his 57 in forty minutes, and hit ten 4’s, helped him to add 52 for the eighth wicket in half-an-hour. When the innings closed for 342. stumps were drawn for the day. It will be seen that, whereas the first six wickets fell for 118, the last four added 224, the wicket improving as the day wore on. In unsettled weather Sussex yesterday lost Robert Relf with only 23 scored and, Vine, A. E. Relf, and Simms being all quickly disposed of. a collapse appeared by no means unlikely. A t this critical stage, however, Killick and Cox came together, and, by plucky cricket put on 100 in as many minutes before the latter was out to a fine catch. Killick played a capital innings and, with ?mith also doing well, the chances of a victory for Lancashire became more and more remote. Smith made some fine hits, and had the personal satisfaction of running into three figures before rain caused the match to be given up. When stumps were drawn Sussex, with three wickets in hand, were 179 runs on. Score and analysis:— S ussex . First innings. Second innings.
