Sussex- Catford Bridge, May 31 and Juno 1. At first the game was even enough, as after an innings to each aide there was on ly a discrepancy of 46 runs in favour of Sussex. Lord Harris, by fine batting, contributed as many as 84 of the 158 made in the first innings of Kent, while there were 6 double figures in the Sussex score of 204, Charlwood and Howard each subscribing 40, by good cricket, while Lillywhite came to the rescue with a dashing score of 42 not out, at the finish. The second innings o f Kent was a sorry affair at the best. Indeed, the total in all only came to 74, and Sussex got the 31 runs left to win with the loss of a wicket. F illery ’ s bowling in the second innings of Kent was deadly, and Mr. Pickering 's fast underhand proved of service to Sussex, securing four wickets in eleven overs for 16 runs in the first venture of Kent. Sussex won by 10 wickets. Sussex, 204 and 31 (one wicket) ; total, 235. Kent, 158 and 74 ; 232. Overs. Maidens. Buns. W ickets . F ille ry ......................... 28 T 18 24 7 (2) Kent v.

Sussex won the toss, and the total came to 414, seven batsmen reaching double figures, with Mr. J. M. Cotterill alone a contributor of 191, or 43 runs more f
