O’ Shaughncssy has lost such bowling ability as he possessed vears ago, but in batting he has made a decided advance. In several "itches jic played uncommonly well. In addition to the ten first-class "ountv engagements, Kent played one match each with Somersetshire and ' j i c .C . Against Somerset a very weak side proved successful, but a severe defeat was suffered at Lord ’s. In this latter match, however, Mr. Frank Penn played splendidly' for 102.

It was in this match that Ulyett sprained his side, an accident which kept him from playing for nearly three weeks. Kent, although fairly well represented, had little chance against the northern county. The Yorkshirc- men had rather the best o f the wicket, but were altogether too strong for their opponents. Bates, in Yorksh ire ’s second innings, played splendid cricket for 108, and received useful assistance from II. Lockw ood (54) and Hunter (31 not out). When Kent went in a second time, Mr. W . II. Patterson, who scored 30, was the only batsman to offer any resistance to the bowling of Peate and Bates. The former took G wickets for 33 runs, and the latter 3 for 38.

Going in first on a good wicket, the visitors scored 245. Morris Read played excellent cricket for 81, Mr. W . W . Head hit finely for 42, and Jones scored a useful 41. The first innings of Kent was only remark­ able for the admirable 72, played by Mr. Renny-Tailyour. Mr. W . W . Read, in the second innings of Surrey, hit in extraordinary form, and scored 1G0 —one of the most brilliant innings played last season. Plis figures were «>sixes, 29 fours, 4 twos, and 18 singles, 32 hits producing no fewer than runs. This innings practically decided the match, as Kent had no <nance of making the 379 runs set them to win. Some good batting, how- erer was shown by O’ Shaughnessy (40 not out), Mr. M. C.
