Kent v. Northamptonshire. At Hover, August 25, 26, and 27. Missed 111 the first over, John Denton hit up 41 of the first 55 in 45 minutes. His brother, who was in 80 minutes for 22. reached his 1.000 runs for the first time. Hut as soon as Cari and Blythe replaced Day and Fielder, wickets fell rapidly, Ihe one stand of consequence being that of Smith and Woolley—58 for the fifth wicket. Three of Carr’s 6 victims were lbw. Hardinge and Humphreys gave Kent a fine start, hitting up 124, of which the first 100 came in 80 minutes. Only one more wicket fell before the close, when Hardinge was 90* and the total 158 for 2. Remarkable cricket was seen on Tuesday. The last 8 wickets actually added but 82, Thompson, who had 27 hit from him the day before without a wicket, taking 5 for 45. Hardinge (107 in nearly three hours fourteen 4’s) completed his fourth successive hundred, but had lives at 90 and 97. Hubble scored 23 out of 33. A damaged finger obliged Woolley to bat late, and he could not bowl. Northants, only 33 behind, lost William Denton and Haywood for 21. Sydney Smith and John Denton then put on 98 in 65 minutes, and the former and Thompson 116 for the fourth wicket in 90 minutes. The amateur’s chanceless 108 in under 2^ hours included a 6 and thirteen 4’s, and Thompson’s 67 was admirable although he started shakily. At one time with over 200 up for 3 Northants looked like taking a long lead. But the last six w’ent for 50, leaving Kent 262 to get on Wednesday. They got the runs with unexpected ease. Humphreys and Seymour put on 105 in 75 minutes for the second wicket, and after lunch 40 in 20 minutes were hit by Day and Seymour. The latter’s fine 114* in three hours included twelve 4’s.
