Played at Northampton on August 23, 24 and 25. Surrey won by eight wickets. Except that Baker and Ducat took the places of Lord Dalmeny and Knox, the Surrey tepa was the same as played against Yorkshire earlier in the week. The home side opened in wretched fashion, Hawtin and Cox being sent back at 7, and Pretty at 12, three wickets going down in half-an-hour. Pool and Thompson then played splendidly, adding 131 together for the fourth wicket in an hour and three- quarters. Pool, who reached 50 out of 83 in 75 minutes, scored 94 out of 136 in 110 minutes without a mistake of any kind. He hit well all round the wicket, and obtained ten 4’s. East afterwards helped Thompson to add 54 for the fifth wicket in 50 minutes, soon after which the latter, who was over­ careful, was caught at the wicket for 70 made out of 211 in 200 minutes. He hit nine 4’s, and benefited his side largely. Vials and Wells added 41 without being separated for the ninth wicket at the end of the day, when the score was 289 for eight. On Friday only 8 runs were added ere the innings closed. Crawford bowled splendidly, his analysis of five for 55 being very fine in an innings of 296. Hay­ ward and Hobbs gave the visitors a capital start, for the score was taken to 127 (in an hour and three- quarters) before the former was caught for a faultless effort of 60. H obbs, who ought to have been stumped when 7, scored 77 out of 154 in 130 minutes, and hit eleven 4’s ; his off-driving was the best feature of his display. Holland and Baker added 64 in an hour, the former who was twice missed, making 56 out of 92 in 80 m inutes: he drove well and hit ten 4’s. The innings closed for 312,and, ere play ceased for the day, the home side scored 16 without loss. On the third m orning Smith was run out with only three runs added, whilst Kings- ston, who made some good hits, was caught at the wicket at 56. Both Pretty and Cox were sent back at 60, the latter at one period of his innings making only two singles in 45 minutes. Pool and Thom p­ son put on 31 for the fifth wicket, but the innings closed for 115, Rushby taking five wickets in 32 balls for only seven runs. Surrey were set 100 to win, and these were obtained for the loss of two wickets. Hay­ ward made 69 for the first wicket in forty minutes with Hobbs, and 26 for the second with Hayes. W hen Surrey |had won by eight wickets, Hayward, who was missed at the wicket when nine, was left to cany out his bat for 49. Score and analysis N o r t h a m pt o n sh ir e . First innings.

Played at Canterbury on August 23, 24: and 25. Kent won by seven wickets. The opening day’s play brought forth a splendid effort on the part of Bowley, who played a very great innings when everything was going against his side. Worcestershire lost Pearson, Foster, Arnold and Burns for 12 runs in 35 minutes, after which Bowley, who had gone in first, found three very useful partners. Cuffe helped him to add 41 for the fifth wicket in 40 minutes, Hunt 89 for the sixth in 85, and W ilson 50 for the eighth in 45. Bowley, who reached 50 out of 94 in 130 minutes, made 117 out of 211 in 225 minutes by faultless cricket. He hit seventeen 4’s, and hit superbly in front of the wicket. During the innings Fielder took his 150th wicket for Kent, he being the only player who has ever taken so many for the county in a season. Kent lost W oolley at 28 and Seymour at 66, but, by the end of the day, the total had been taken to 73 without further loss, Burnup being not out 32. On Friday m orning the fortunes of Kent improved considerably, Burnup helping Marsham to add 68 for the third wicket in 55 minutes, and Hutchings 110 for the fourth in 65. Burnup, who hit fourteen 4’s and was missed when 26, scored 101 out of 244 in 175 minntes, and gave only one chance—when 26. Hutchings, after being missed with only a single to his credit, survived to score 69 out of 152 in an hour and a-half. He drove particularly well, and hit thirteen 4’s. Mason, who made 59 in 70 minutes, and hit six 4’s, put on 62 for the sixth wicket in 35 minutes with Humphreys, and Kent, when the innings terminated, claimed a lead of 165. In the second innings of Worcestershire Foster batied for two hours and hit nine 4’s, but was not seen at his best. At the end of the day the visitors, with six wickets in hand, were still 15 behind. Early the following morning Canterbury was visited by a gale of such severity that several of the tents were blown down and one of the screens was dispensed with. Only six runs were added ere Cuffe was l.b.w., whilst at 172 Hunt also was sent back, Worcestershire then being 7 runs on with four wickets to fall. Burrows played a most useful innings of 46, added 45 for the seventh wicket with Burns and 51 for the eighth with W ilson. Still, Kent were set only 113 to win, a number which was obtained for the loss of three wickets. Burnup was out in tbe first over, Woolley at 40, and Hutchings, who hit 53 out of 69 in 40 minutes, at 109. The last-named obtained his 53 in fourteen hits by means of a 6, eleven 4’s, a 2, and a single, eight of his 4’s being consecutive scoring strokes. Score and analysis W o rceste rsh ire .

On the opening day sixteen wickets fell for 286 runs, Yorkshire scoring 122 for six in response to Gloucestershire’s total of 164. The home side lost Wrathall at 4, Barnett at 8, Townsend at 23, Sewell at 49, and Jessop and Thomas at 54, the first six wickets going down in 70 minutes. A t this point it seemed probable that the side would all be out for less than 100, but Champain, who hit six 4’s, and added 61 for the seventh wicket with Board in 45 minutes, played a very good innings of 42, after which Roberts and Dennett put on 40 for the last wicket in three-quarters of an hour. After lasting three hours the innings closed for 164, Ringrose doing well to secure half the wickets for 62. York­ shire lost Rhodes at 9, and, although Tunnicliffe and Denton added 40 for the second wicket in 25 minutes, half the side were out for 73. Taylor and Smith, who was at his best, then put on 39 for the sixth wicket in half-an-hour, the score, when play ceased for the day, being 122 for six, Smith 27 not out. On Friday Smith, after batting for 65 minutes, was caught at cover-point at 135. Myers was caught at the wicket at 150, and at 159 Hunter and Ring­ rose were out to consecutive balls from Dennett, who bowled splendidly and took eight wickets for 86 in the innings. Gloucestershire could claim a lead of 5 runs on the first innings, and, when they went in the second time, Barnett and W rathall scored 42 together for the first wicket in 40 minutes. Sewell and Townsend, who was in 80 minutes for 25, added 38 for the third wicket, and Board and Jessop 52 for the sixth in 35, the last-named claim ing 34 of the number. Board played a really great game for his side. He went in when three wickets were down for 81, and at the end of the day, when the score was 218 for eight, carried out his bat for 54. He gave a very difficult chance when 15 to Rhodes at short-leg, but made no other mistake. On Saturday, when the game was resumed on a soft wicket, the two out­ standing wickets fell for 10 runs, leaving the visitors 234 to get to win. Board scored his 57 out of 143 in 175 minutes, and hit five 4’s. Hirst did well to take half the wickets for 74 runs. Yorkshire lost Tunnicliffe at 19 and Denton at 28, after which Rhodes (who made five 4’s during the hour and a- quarter he was in) and Taylor added 59 for the third wicket in 55 minutes. Hirst was missed by Sewell when he had made 5, but did not profit much by the mistake, being fourth out at 112 for a dozen. Taylor left at 119 for a patient 41, half the side then being disposed of. Smith and Rudston then came to­ gether, and, playing careful and watchful cricket put on 69 for the sixth wicket in 40 minutes—an excellent performance. Rudston was sixth out at
