F or this important match Middlesex were without Bosanquet, Hunt, Payne and G. W. Beldam, whilst Kent, apart from the absence of Dillon, were at full strength. So great an attraction did the game prove that over 12,000 spectators were present on the opening day, during which seventeen wickets fell for 272 inns. Throughout the day the ball beat the bat, and only Seymour succeeded in scoring over 25. Middlesex lost Warner at 27, and Douglas, who batted very steadily, at 64. Tarrant played a bright game, being in for less than half-an-hour for 25, 22 of which were obtained off Fielder. Trott took forty minutes to make 7, quite forsaking his usual game, and, with Wells failing, six wickets were down by lunch for 98. After the interval Harrison batted nicely for 20, and Napier, who was missed when 2, scored a dozen, the total being taken to 143 ere the last wicket fell. The Kent bowling was very good throughout and was never mastered, and their fielding also was of a high standard. Burnup, when he had made only 7, was out to a smart catch at the wicket at 12, but Seymour then appeared and played a capital game. W ith Woolley lie put on 45 for the second wicket, and with Hutchings 40 for the third. He made his 53 out of 85 in seventy minutes, and gave by far the best display of the day. After his departure wickets fell rapidly, and Kent, who appeared certain to obtain a good lead on the first innings, wound up with little the best of the argument. Mason was caught in the slips at 98 and Hutchings at the wicket at 109, whilst shortly after­ wards both Humphreys and Blythe were bowled by Wells, Kent at the end of the day being 14 runs behind with three wickets in hand. On Tuesday morning, thanks almost to a lucky but plucky innings by Blaker, Kent managed to obtain a lead of 123 on the first innings. W ith Marsham lie put on 43 for the eighth wicket, with Huish 46 for the ninth, and with Fielder 48 for the last. He scored his 86 in a hundred and fifteen minutes, hitting well all round the wicket, and making a 5 and ten 4’s. He was missed four times, but his display was a most useful one. W ells took three wickets for 61, and bowled with fine judgm ent. Warner and Douglas gave Middlesex a capital start when they commenced their up-hill game, making 77 for the first wicket in eighty-five minutes before Douglas was disposed of for a sound innings of 42, Tarrant followed in but, after scoring a single, received so severe a blow in the face from a ball delivered by Fielder that he retired for a time. Harrison then joined Warner, but, after scoring 4, was second out at 83. W hen Tarrant came in again the cricket became very slow, twenty minutes at one period failing to produce a run. The 100 took one hundred and thirty-five minutes to reach. At 122 Warner was brilliantly thrown out by Hutchings from third man, after batting for two hours and three-quarters for a most valuable and sound innings of 66. He m ight have been caught when 65, but made no other mistake. After his departure the side collapsed, six more wickets falling for 47 by the time stumps were drawn, when Middlesex, whose total of 169 for nine wickets took four hours to make, were 46 runs on and had only one wicket in hand. Tarrant showed great patience, taking an hour and forty minutes to score 16. Yesterday the innings quickly closed for 181, leaving Kent only 59 to get to win. Blythe, it will be seen, bowled 243 balls for 66 runs and seven wickets—a capital performance against such a side of run-getters. The visitors lost W oolley at 16, and Burnup and Seymour with only 27 scored, but Hutchings, who made 33 of the next 34, quickly put the result beyond doubt, Kent winning at half-past twelve by seven wickets.

DERBYSH IRE . Played at the Oval on August 27, 28 and 29. Surrey won by ten wickets. Witli’Ashcroft and Ollivierre away Derbyshire were severely handicapped, and at 0119 time it appeared probable that the side would be out for a very small score, the first four wickets going down for 22 in forty minutes. The side was always afterwards struggling for runs, and, in the circumstances, their total of 181 runs was by no means a bad perform­ ance. Morton played a splendid innings for his side. He went in when three wickets had fallen for 19, and was last man out, scoring 77 out of 162 in one hundred and sixty-five minutes by faultless cricket. Before lunch he took an hour-and-a-quarter to scon? 18, playing very carefully. W ith Warren he added 27 and with Bracey, a left-handed batsman, 75 for the sixth in sixty-live minutes. He hit two 5’s and ten 4’s in his valuable innings. Kirk, an amateur left-handed bowler of above medium pace, belonging to the Spencer O.O., took four wickets for 42—the best analysis on the side. Surrey lost Hobbs at 8, but Hayward and Hayes, by careful cricket, added 63 without being separated ere stumps were drawn. During the day eleven wickets fell for only 252 runs. On the following morning it was found that, owing to a quinsy, Bestwick would be unable to take any further part in the m atch: as Hallam also was un­ well, Derbyshire had two substitutes in the field. Hayes reached his 50 outof 87 in ninety minutes, and was then soon afterwards caught, the second wicket having altogether added 93 runs in ninty-five min­ utes. W ithout any addition being made to the score Baker was run out, and 9 later Holland was stumped. Hayward, who had the satisfaction of exceeding his previous largest aggregate (3,170) for a season, was the next to leave, being bowled at 136 for a faultless 61 which contained six 4’s. When Lord Dalmeny and Crawford came together some free hitting was seen, the two putting on 134 for the sixth wicket in seventy minutes. Dalmeny drove with great power and hit fourteen 4’s, one of his hits off P uidy landing the ball on the Pavilion roof: he scored 86 outof 134 in 70 minutes, and gave only one chance—when 19. Crawford,who furnished Warren with hishundredth wicket of the season, mado his 74 in a hundred and twenty-five minutes. He was twice missed—when 19. and again when 57, but played most attractive cricket. Kirk and Rushby reached double figures, and Surrey led by 148 on the first innings. Warren took six wickets for 140, but bowled better than the figures would lead one to suppose. W hen Derby­ shire went in the second time, Hayes, ow ing to an injured knee, was unable to field. With only 6 runs scored W right was bowled, but Buckston and Morton played well and prevented a complete collapse from taking place. When stumps were drawn Derbyshire had lost five wickets for 143, Morton being not out 41. Yesterday, when 21 had been added, Morton was caught for a faultless innings of 54 made in 145 minutes. He hit nine 4’s and, with Warren, put on 47 for the sixth wicket. The last-named and Purdy added 36 for the seventh, and Warren, who scored 51 in 65 minutes and hit six 4’s, was caught at 208. The innings closed for 218, and Surrey obtained the necessary 71 without loss. Lord Dalmeny, Strudwick and Hayes were all absent on account of injuries, and Spring, by arrangement, kept wicket.
