But that they suffered in a great measure from persistent ill -luck there is no denying . They started wonderfully well , and their falling awayafterwards was largely influenced by the weather. The disastrous Canterbury Jubilee Weekof 1891 will long be remembered, and altogether more drawngames were recorded than wasthe case with any other county. Owingto continuous rain , the first fixture with Lanca- shire could not even be commenced. Martin opened the season in his best bowling form, but in August the figures of both himself and Walter Wright were considerably affected by the two big innings recorded by Notts and Lanca- shire within a week. Alec Hearne several times bowled with success , and it seems as if he might have been tried more frequently . In batting , after Mr. Marchant , there were not manysuccessful run -getters . Mr. Foxplayed several good innings , notably against Notts at Trent Bridge . So did Alec Hearne ; but Mr. Patterson had only one day of great success . A promising batsmanwas introduced in Mr. G. J. V. Weigall , of Cambridge University , and the same may be said of the other Cantab, Mr. H. M. Braybrooke.
