At Southampton, May 6 and 7. Hampshire lacked their captain, E. M. Sprot, the Hon. L. H. Tennyson, detained by military duties, Major J. G. Greig, who returned from India the other day, and A. C. Johnston. They played two new men in Lieut. G. C. Harrison (R.N.), who has appeared for Devon, and Livesey, formerly of the Battersea C.C. Except for the absence of W. N. Riley, the visitors were prac­ tically at full strength. They did not maintain the promise shown in their opening match, v. Essex', however, and never looked like winning. The bad weather delayed the start ; but on the first day Leicestershire were dismissed for 134, and Hants gained a lead of 33 with 6 wickets still to go. Shipman’s 36 in 50 minutes was quite the best innings for his side. Brown hit up 64 in 65 minutes (7 fours), and he and Bowell added 60 together ; and after they were parted Mead and Harrison made a stand which extended into the second day, and added in all 88. Mead, who nearly always scores largely v. Leicestershire, made his faultless 76 in two hours, 11 fours included. The visitors collapsed utterly before Jaques and Kennedy in their second innings, Wright, who played all through the venture, being the only man to offer any resistance at all. Both bowlers were in fine form ; but neither this nor the presumably not quite perfect wicket fully excused so poor a display. The catch made by the substitute (Evans, fielding for Stone, down with a chill), dismissing King, was a particularly good one. Hants won by an innings and 105 runs. L e ic e s t e r s h ir e .

M.C.C. v. KENT. At Lord’s, May 9 and 11. The big club's team was stronger in bowling than batting, but not more than average strength in bowling. Watson (Norfolk), Williams (Cheshire), and Clarke (formerly of Wood- brook) all played. Jack Hearne was the only man who showed any capacity to punish the Kent bowling— which was very good, especially Fairservice’s— and the veteran had a slice or two of luck. Kent had lost two of their best with only 9 on the board ; but Woolley punished the attack from the very outset, and he and Hubble added 140 for the fourth wicket in only a trifle over an hour. The lengthy left-hander’s 94 were made in about 75 minutes ; and, with a shortish boundary on the north side, he hit 3 sixes, a five, and 9 fours. He scored chiefly by on-drives, and square-leg hits. Hubble only took 85 minutes to make his 75, hitting one six and 10 fours. After their departure only Troughton, who played sterling cricket in a bad light and bitter cold, did anything. On Monday M.C.C. failed to make a sign, save for Haig, who battled pluckily, though never at ease. Woolley was most effec­ tive, getting a lot of work on, especially after changing over to the Nursery end. Kent won a rather featureless match by an innings and 19 runs. M.C.C. First Innings. F. R.

TH E M.C.C. ANNUAL MEETING . A t Lord’s on May 6, Lord Hawke was elected President for the year and the Earl of Dalkeith, the Hon. F. S. Jackson, and Messrs. John Slater and H. D. G. Leveson-Gower replaced the Earl of Chesterfield, the Duke of Rutland, and Messrs. P. J. de Paravicini and W. H. Patterson, the retiring members of the committee. Mr. Patterson was elected an auditor in the place of the late Major-General F. C. Trevor. An alteration in the laws which allow of a three-day match not started through bad weather being treated as a two-day or one-day game, according to the day of the start, as regards the application of the closure, was passed.
