TWO SFPARATE HUNDREDS BY KENNY. Victoria won by 352 runs. Neither side was at full strength in this match, neither Hayes nor Redgrave playing owing to the Queensland Cricket Association appointing the ciptain—a duty which had previously fallen to th) lot of the players. After Victoria had lost five wi rkets for 66 runs, Kenny and Kortlang added 202 together for the sixth, the former, who hit twenty- five 4’s, making 104 of the number. In their second innings the visitors had eight wickets down for 102 , and again a fine stand was made, Kenny and Kyle putting on 112 for the ninth. Kenny made 100 out of 173, but was missed when 40. The Queensland batting was disappointing, their second innings being all over in 80 minutes. Score and analysis :— V ictoria. First Innings. Second Innings. F.

Dr. William Grafton Curgenven, MD., who was born at Plymouth on November 30th, 18 1, died at Farehnm, in Hampshire, on the 18th inst., after a long illness. Most of his cu d e t was learnt in Devonshire, and it was for the Gentlemen of Devon that he made his first appearance at Lord’s—against M.C.C. in June, 1864. He theu played an innings of 23. among the bowlers opposed to him being Mr. H. Arkwright, and Devon, scoring 163, won l y an innings and 46 runs. Removing to Derby he seived for many years on the Committee of the County Club, and, except in 1877, played every year for Derbyshire from 1872 until 1878 inclusive. In 1872 and two following years he headed the County’s averages. He was described as “ A brilliant bat, hitting well all round, and on a lively wicket a fast run-better ; a good field at long- leg and cover point.” In 1873 he scored 39 of a total of 70 against Lancashire at Manchester, and in the following year made 34 and 74 in the match with Yorkshire on the Derby ground, while in 1875 he obtained 71 against Kent, also at Derby. Two of his sons have played for Derbyshire during recent years. M r. G. W. D avies. Mr. George William Davies, of Kingswins- ford, who died on the 23rd inst. in his sixty- fifth year, appeared occasionally for the Gentlemen of Worcestershire. M r. J. G a rd n e r. Mr. James Gardner, of Saxon Hall, near Newmarket, died on the 1st inst. in his sixty- first year. A steady batsman and a useful slow bowler, he played occasionally for Suffolk and Leicestershire. He was fond of many sports, and had been Master of the Ntwmarkitand Thurlow Foxhounds and of the Newmarket Draghounds. Several times eleven members of the family formed a side in the cricket field. M r. J. H a rrin g to n . Mr. J. Harrington, proprietor of the hotel at the Sussex County Ground, Hove, died on Friday last after a short illness. M r . F. D. L on ge. Mr. Francis Davy Longe died at 19, Henley Road, Ipswich, on February 20th. He was born at Coddenham on September 25th. 1831, and was buried there. He was in the Hairow Eleven in 1817 aud two following years, and played each season against both Eton and Winchester: against the formtr he scored 98 runs with an average of 16*33, and against the latter 78 with one of 19 50. Of the six Public School matches in which hs took part at Lord’s Harrow won five, their only reverse being in 1847 at the hands of Eton, wrho won by nine wickets. Proceeding to Oxford, Mr. Longe played against Cambridge in 1851 and 1852, scoring 46 and 0 in the former year and 17 in the latter. While at the University he was described as “ A magnificent hitter who, by taking pains, might early become one of the first players of the day.” In 1858 he was called to the Bar, and was attached to the Eastern Circuit. He afterwards became private secietary to the late Lord Goschen, who appointed him a geueral inspector of the Local Government Board—an appoint­ ment he held for nearly thirty years. M r. A. T. Lyons. Mr. Aidan T. Lyous, the best all-round man in the Eastern Province, died in hospital at Queenstown on February 12th, after a long illness, in his thirty second year. He was a good batsman, a fast-medium right- hand bowler, and a sound captain. It was in 1898-9 that he first came to the notice of English cricketers, by taking four wickets for 40 runs for XV. of Port Elizabeth against Lord Hawke's Team. Four years later—there was no “ big” cricket duiing the interval—he played in the Currie Cup Tournament at Port Elizabeth, and, by taking thirteen wickets for 76 runs, had much to do with Eastern Province's easy victory over Griqualand West. In 1901-5, when the Tournament was on the knock-out principle, Eastern Piovince played only one game, being beaten by Western Province. In that match Lyons’ 37 was the highest individual score in the first innings of his side. A year later he made 3 and 31 not out (highest score) and took seven wickets for 66 for XV. of Port Elizabeth v. the M.C.C. team, and obtained 2 and 37 (highest score) for XI. of Eastern Province against the same side. Iu 1906-7 he was, next to Vogler, the best man in the Eastern Province team in the Currie Cap Tournament iu the Transvaal, and in the two matches won by his side he scored 40 and took three wickets for 1 1 runs (in the first innings) v. Griqualand West, and made 44 and took five for 44 (in the match, he and Vopler bowling uuchanged) v. Orange River Colony. In 1908-9 he was distinctly the best all-round performer in the moderate E.P. side sent to Cape Town for the Currie Cup contest. He took six wickets for 101 v. Transvaal, scored 34 not out acd 41 not out (the highest score in each innings) and took three wickets f>r 68 runs v.Western Province, and made 11 and 14 and obtained four wickets for 75 v. Border.
