At Gravesend, July 28, 29, and 33 before over 3,000- Cranfield re-appeared in the visiting team, who won the toss. D. W . Carr appeared for Kent the first time this year, and so well did he and Felder perform on the Western batsmen, halving, the ten wickets, that only Jessop made much resistance. His sparkling 87 out of 137 from the bat took him less than an hour and included three 6 ’s and nine 4’s. Off successive overs he scored 13 and 16, and he only had one life. Four of the side failed to score. On Kent going in, Hardinge and Humphreys sent up the 100 without loss in 80 minutes, and the latter had the satisfaction of completing his 1,000 runs. Dillon hit up 33 out of 44 in 3o minutes. On Tuesday, Dr. W . G. Grace arrived to see his own county beaten. In arrears of 105, they for the most part failed again against Carr and Fielder. Huish “ kept” superbly, stumping three men and catching one. Sewell, however, hit splendidly, reaching his 50 out of 68 in 40 minutes. He was missed in the long field when .44, and he hit three 6 ’s and seven 4’s. But at lunch the end was in sight, Gloucester being only 50 on with one man to go. The tenth wicket added 40 in 25 minutes, and Kent were set only 72 to win. They won by 8 wickets. G loucest First Innings. C. S.

At Hull, July 28, 29 and 30. Being Surrey’s first visit to the third port since 1879. Winning the toss turned out a doubtful advantage, for the feeblest of resistance was for the most part offered to Booth and Drake. Hobbs was the shining exception, his 64 repre­ senting more than half the total from the bat. He was missed at 30 and 60, both times by Birtles, but apart from this he batted finely. After lunch, Drake bowled 13 overs for 17 runs and four wickets. Hitch and Rushby bowled so splendidly when on Tykes went in— it will be seen that they hit the wickets nine times— that the home team only led by a few ; even so, four chances were mi'-sed. Surrey made a bad start on Tuesday, three being out for 30. Hayes and Harrison retrieved the situation by adding 114, the former making 80 in 150 minutes, while Harrison batted nearly 3 hours for 56, Bird drove finely, making 53 out of 71 in 40 minutes, two 6 ’s, six 4’s included. Set to get 240, Yorkshire lost 5 for 58. Drake and Bii ties, each missed, added 77 unparted befor close of play ; but next morning, when Yorkshire needed 105, with five to go, no one but Sir Archibald White made any resistance, and, despite more lax fielding, they were beaten by 57 runs. Drake batted 170 minutes in all for his 64.
