A day of sudden changes— Kent 177 for 2 before lunch-—6 more wickets down for 107 between that and tea— the last two falling for a single after the “ cup that, etc.”—or other refreshment. A. P. Day and Hatfeild came in, and Fairservice had to stand down; Essex played seven amateurs, and left out Mead. Hardinge and Seymour added 76 for the second Kent wicket, and the former and Woolley 115 for the third, each partnership lasting about an hour. Hardinge hit a dozen 4’s, Woolley nine. Day was rather slow, but Hatfeild lashed out well, hitting one mighty 6 into the crowd. When Essex batted three of their best wickets fell for 16, Da}', swinging away, accounting for all three, two of them through fine catches' in the slips by Seymour. Fane was also out before time, when Perrin and Mclver were in pos­ session, with the total 72 for 4. There were over 4,000 spectators on Tuesday. The pitch seemed to give the attack some slight help, and when Essex had 8 out for 112 they looked in danger of being obliged to follow on. But Tremlin stayed a little while, Gillingham meantime driving hard, and this peril was averted. In a majority of 124, Kent should have lost Humphreys before he had scored; but Douglas failed to hold a catch in the slips, and the lucky batsman and Hardinge put up 105 in 80 minutes before they were parted. From 105 up with no wicket down there was a startling change— 108 for 3—Woolley quickly following the first wicket pair into retirement. Hubble and Seymour then added 131 in 80 minutes; but the reserve stumper quite out­ paced his usually brilliant partner. Taking 20 minutes to play himself in, he afterwards drove with tremendous power, making as many as twenty-one 4’s in his stay of 105 minutes for 97*. Dillon declared at 279 for 4, in order to get Essex in before time, and Russell and Mclver wiped up 32 off the massive 404 needed for victory. On the third morning 70 went up before the first Essex wicket fell, and w'ith Freeman as partner Mclver continued to play well. So much did he slow down in the later part of his innings, however, that his last ten scoring strokes were all singles. After his de­ parture Freeman and Perrin, and later Perrin and Fane, played well together, and only three wickets had fallen when 200 went up. At this stage Fielder, bowling well with apparently some little help from the wicket, became deadly. He took all the remaining wickets, giving him 8 for the innings, and Kent won by 126 runs. Essex fought hard, and deserve credit. They must win before lon g! First Innings.

Cambridge University. At Hove, June 16, 17, and 18. Sussex played rather an experimental team, and the Light Blues were without Lagden. They started in very poor style, Roberts getting 3 of the first 4 at a cost of only 14—with a “ foolish sort of ball,” said one critic-—or was made to say it by some sapient comp. Five wickets were down for 51, and Calthorpe played the only innings of any note. He lasted 80 minutes, hit with vim allied to discretion, and had eight 4’s. Before time Sussex, thanks to the brothers Relf, and to two youngsters, Charlwood and Bowley, who had added 64. un­ parted at call of time, established a lead of 21 with four wickets still to go. The tail very materially increased the score on Tuesday, though Chaplin, who played a big part, is certainly not a tail-ender. Charlwood was soon out, he and Bowley having added 74 ; then Bowley and his captain added 64. The young pro.’s 74 is by far his best for Sussex to date. He was only in 90 minutes, and hit nine 4’s. The last wicket put on 49 in 20 minutes, and Chaplin’s 66* included ten 4’s. Throughout the Cambridge fielding was good. The Light Blues lost Davies early; then a stand between Morrison and Saville was followed by a slump, Fender taking 4 wickets in 6 overs. Franklin and Kidd, coming together at this critical juncture, played great cricket, and added 131 in 90 minutes. Kidd reached his century in 135 minutes, and at drawing of stumps was still in possession with 135 to his credit, Cambridge being 181 on with 8 down. The innings soon closed on Wednesday morning, only 20 being added. Fender’s bowling was un­ usually effective; but as a rule the chances given him are not too big. Kidd played a great innings. He gave a chance at 89, it is true; but his fine play pulled his side out of the mire. One 6 and sixteen 4’s were included, and he made fine shots all round. Sussex went in to get 202, and lost Wilson and the brothers Relf cheaply. Three wickets were thus down for 54; but Vine and Fender got fairly on top of the bowling, and hit off the remaining runs. Fender’s was the lion’s share; he made 104 of the 148 put on, and hit in magnificent style (fifteen 4’s included) for his second century for Sussex. The county thus won by 7 wickets.
