Foronce Kentwere unlucky in the toss , and whatluck there was wentto theAustralians . Thewicket , indeed , did not improve, so that Kentwere at a decided disadvantage . TheAustralians didfairly well with the bat, although their highest scorer was C. Hill with 74 and 4. Mr. Burnupplayed a remark- ably fine first innings of 101 for Kent. After him Mr. W. H. Patterson (27 and33 not out) was the most successful batsman, from which it will be seen that Kent were considerably behind. T h e Australians w o n b y 176 runs.
