Lancashire hadto follow on in a minority of 163 runs, but, with the worst of the wicket, Kent collapsed in their second innings , and the Lancastrians at the finish were able to claim a creditable victory . To this Mr. Hornby's batting contributed in a great m e a s u r e . In the first innings he scored 88 out of 188, in the second 96 out of 232 fromthe bat.

In the match these two bowlers delivered 153 overs , and of these 109 were maidens, Hearne's 96 overs and two balls including 69 maidens. Mr. Whitfeld's second score of 53 not out was the only one over twenty runs on the Sussex side . In the second innings the last six wickets only added 25 runs . Kentwonby an innings and 36 runs .
