Fielder and Fairservice super­ seded Carr and Jennings in the Kent team, and Sussex had H. L. Wilson, Woodroffe, and H. S. Malik, the Indian cricketer-golfer, who lives at Eastbourne, for A. K. Wilson, young Relf, and Roberts. The gate was much smaller than last year ; but that, of course, was easily accounted for. Vine and Wilson put up 59 for the first wicket, the pro. scoring quite freely. Jupp stayed with Vine till some time after lunch, the second wicket adding 142 in all in just as many minutes, play having become decidedly slower since the interval. Bowley helped Vine to add 78 in 70 minutes ; and then the Willingdon man, having completed ic o d a minute or two earlier, had to leave for 140. He had batted nearly 4^ hours, and the two chances he gave were such particularly hot ones that they did not greatly discount his innings. One of his drives was into the covered stand at the south end, and the ball hit, though happily without doing any damage, a lady therein. At call of time Sussex were 32 7 for 4. The last six wickets fell for an addition of 57 on Tuesday, Relf and Cox alone doing much. Just before lunch Kent lost Humphreys for 23 ; but in an hour afterwards Hardinge and Seymour added 102. The foot­ baller played strong forcing cricket for his 87 (one six, 12 fours). Woolley and Day added 83 in 70 minutes, and Troughton and Blythe hit well, with the result that Kent reached 291, the follow-on having been averted with 4 wickets standing. On Wednesday there was no play before lunch. Afterwards Sussex hit up 78 for 8, and declared, sending Kent in to get 172 to win. In spite of good innings by Seymour and Day, this proved too big a task, and Sussex won bv ^4 runs. Cox was the thorn in the Champion’s side, had he not rtatled out the Hast men the rain which fell shortly afterwards would have brought about a draw. S u s s e x . First Innings. Second Innings.

The visitors lacked Robert­ son ; among the absentees from the home side were Fry, Greig, John­ ston, and Sprot. Jaques came back, and H. C. McDonell played for the first time this season. The pitch was soft, but never became really treacherous. Remnant batted a couple of hours for his capital 65, and aided in stands of 46 and 71 with Arnold and Mead respec­ tively. Bowell and Brown also made useful scores. B y taking 5 wickets J. W. Hearne brought his total for the season to 100. Middlesex started badly, losing Littlejohn and Heame with only 4 scored ; but Tarrant stayed with Haig while 55 w'ere added, and Warner while 66 wrere put on. The old Etonian, who played most good and resolute cricket, was 67* at the close, wrhen the total was 128 for 4. There was a foolish (though happily not very widespread) demonstration against Warner for daring to criticise Jaques’s bowling in the W estm inster Gazette. On Tuesday Haigh left immediately, and it was almost entirely due to a capital innings by Hendren, who has not been in luck this season that the visitors gained a lead of a run on the first innings. Kennedy again bow'led well. After Remnant and Newman had been sent back with only 15 scored in Hampshire’s second, Arnold and Mead added 54 in 40 minutes, and with Mead and Melle together 68 more were put on before close of play. On Wednesday rain came on just before lunch, and the game had to be abandoned, Mead being then only three short of his hundred. Tarrant took his hundredth wicket of the season. Middlesex secured first innings’ points. H a m p s h ir e . First Innings. Second Innings. Newrman (J.), b Tarrant .. .. 7 c Haig, b Tarrant .. 9 Remnant, c Hearne (J.

Capt. Cliff’s XI on July 31, and Freeman (Essex) scored 118 for the scratch side. Capt. Cliff’s X I won by 6 wickets. G. A . F a u l k n e r was top scorer for Notts Commercials v. Grantham on Saturday w’ith 69, E. Briggs making 67. The innings was declared at 194 for 8. Grantham scored 69 for 2, and drew. SURR E Y v. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. At the Oval, August 3, 4, and 5. M. C. Bird came in to take over the Surrey captaincy, and Platt was preferred to Abel. Notts lacked Wass and Dr. Gauld, and brought in Whysall and Riley, the latter now engaged by the Oldfields (Uttoxeter) C.C. It was his first match for the county this season. Surrey made a good start, sending up 59 in 40 minutes before Hayward was out. At 93 Harrison left, and for a time play was slow. After lunch the score moved up at a brisker pace. The third wicket had added 202 when Knight played a ball on to his leg, whence it dribbled into the stumps, with just barely way enough on to disturb the bails. The Oxford man batted just under 2$ hours for his 67 without a chance, and hit 7 fours. Hobbs went to 200 out of 321, but was out at 375, after he and Ducat had added 80. He batted 260 minutes for his great 226, his best to date, gave no chance, and hit 26 fours, 2 threes, and 25 twos. His driving was magnificent. Bird and Ducat added 90 in 55 minutes, and at the close Surrey were 472 for 5— Ducat, wrho had reached his iooo in the course of his innings, 76*. There was more rain in the night and early morning. Surrey lost 3 more wickets with only 15 added ; but with Strudwick in Fender hit out mightily, and w’ith the little man also scoring fast the last wicket added 52 in 20 minutes. It was a great catch by Carr, who ran in and held the ball only a few inches from the ground, which disposed of the old Pauline. The sun came out, making the pitch more difficult, just as the Notts innings began. Lee left at 12 ; but Hardstaff and George Gunn, batting in the most dogged manner, and refusing to be influenced by the jeers
