Nottinghamshire At Hove, June 26, 27, and 28. Notts played Whysall for Horsley, and Sussex had A. H. Lang for H. L. Wilson. The visitors made a wretched start.—George Gunn out at 1, Hardstaff, finely caught by Cox in the slips, at 3, John Gunn at 25. Lee batted 70 minutes for 28; Payton and Iremonger added 75 at a decent p ace; Alletson, emulating Bonnor at his worst, pottered about ever so long for 15; Whysall showed good form in making 26; but altogether it was a poor show on a good wicket. The colt Roberts, who took the first four wickets, m ight have been given another chance later. He should be worth persevering with, anyway. Before time Sussex had 89 up for 1, but Cartwright and .Vine (whose partnership was responsible for all of these) were very slow (105 minutes), and failed to please the crowd — the best seen at Hove this season to date. Wass ricked hi9 side after bowling a few overs, and had to go off the field. On the second day Sussex fared badly for a time, j Vine and Robert Relf added 58; but Fender, Lang (run out while backing up, the ball goin g into the wicket off J the bowler’s hand), Cox, and Vincett failed, and the ninth [ wicket fell at 200. Then came a surprise. Chaplin, batting well, w as joined by Roberts, and the colt revealed qualities as a batsman hitherto unsuspected by the public. Three great on drives for 6 off John Gunn did he m ake; once or twice he cut quite nicely; and he has a very fair notion of defence. A9 many as 85 were added for the last w icket; and the small crowd (under 1,000) roared applause when the colt and his captain (who had batted in really good style for 90 minutes) came off. Notts put themselves into a pretty good position before close of play. They were 18 up— 94 for the w icket—when Fender got George Gunn l.b.w., and after Hardstaff had gone cheaply Lee and the elder Gunn added 65 unparted. Just before the end Lee was missed in the slips. That mistake of Robert R elf’s may Well have been the turning-point of the game. Continuing next morning, the two batsmen started very slowly, and Lee had been in hours when he reached three figures— for the first time in county cricket. The pace never grew rapid. The pair stayed together till lunch, Gunn reaching his 100 in 3, hours. With 9 added after the interval Gunn was stumped off Chaplin. The third wicket had added 231 in 190 minutes, the length of Gunn’s stay. Ten 4’s were his chief strokes, and he gave no chance. I^ee was out soon J afterwards. He had batted 320 minutes for his 180—a really j fine innings, in spite of two chances— and had hit thirty-one [ 4 's. This stockily-built youngster should go far. Iremonger scored all the runs made during his brief partnership with Payton. At 435 for 6 the closure w as applied, and Sussex had something short of 3 hours in which to get 300. Lang and Albert Relf were out almost at once, and Robert Relf left at 27. But then Fender, hitting splendidly (he made 83 in 70 minutes, with two 6’s and ten 4 ’s included), and Vine, dogged as ever, added 120; and any risk of defeat was eliminated by another stand between Vine and Cartwright.

Umpires : )Vebb and White. Hampshire v. Kent. At Portsmouth, June 26, 27, and 28. The United Services’ ground is reckoned a batsman’s Paradise, but scoring 011 the first day w as quite ordinary in character. Stone strained a thigh early and had to retire. Brown was the most prominent figure of the day. He hit eleven 4’s in his 71, made in about 2 hours by varied strokes. Mead and he put on 78 in an hour; but that was the only stand exceeding 50.. Hants had 200 up for 4, but did little there­ after. At cali of time Kent had scored 38 for 1. Friday was a batsman’s day. There had been fully 2J hours’ play before Hardinge and Seymour were parted, having added 223 in 3 hours. Thereafter Woolley joined Hardinge, and another partnership, lasting 2 hours, resulted in the addition of 167 runs. Hardinge gave one chance, at 140; neither of the other two offered one. The three innings may be summarised thus : Hardinge, 168 runs in 310 minutes; eighteen 4’s, two 3’s, sixteen 2’s, 58 singles; Seymour, 124 runs in 180 minutes; seventeen 4’s, four 3's, four 2’s, 36 singles; Woolley, 105 runs in 140 minutes; thirteen 4’s, one 3, twelve 2's, 26 singles. Cutting was a marked feature of both Seymour’s and Woolley’s play; and this season has witnessed a distinct revival of that most forceful of strokes, the cut. Woolley completed his thousand runs during his stay. Dillon was the only one of the rest to do an yth in g; but perhaps the others were not taking matters very seriously; though it may be remarked that the Hampshire fielding reached a very high level, and that Jaques bowled unweariedly and wonderfully well. The total at time was 509 for 9. The innings finished for 527 on Saturday, and Hants never looked like saving the game. Brown and Jephson (49 for the
