Britain Beats America For The First Time
Field, Adun Holland, J. Bibson and T. Fergusson are worth their placen in many First Division teams, and there a little doubt that unless the Club loses the services of these inen, the K.F.C. will be in the Second Division next season. And Judging by form, that is where they should be now.

Kent played a delightfully joyous, almost happy-go-lucky game when facing the formidable task sot them by Essex, and in well under four hours gained the first innings' lead for the loss of only five wickets.
The foundation of their remark- able response was appropriately laid by the veteran Frank Woolley, who was making his last appearance on the Bot and Ball ground.
Woolley hit nine majestic daries in a clussfe little innings of 38 and paved the way for displays of hitting by Ames, Valentine and Chalk that will long be remembered. 11 was Kent cricket as we knew it

London, Apr, 29.
Floods in February, drought in March and April, havo caused the Royal and Ancient Golf Club to cancel the arrangements for holding the Open championship on the Royal Cinque Ports linke at Deal on July 4-8.

Gt. BRITAIN'S TRIUMPH
IN DOUBLES
From Frank Poxon
Harrogate, May 9. Great Britain won the Davis Cup match doubles here to-day when Frank Wilde and D. W. Butler bent C. Carntulls and A. Schmidt, of Rumania, 6-0, 7--5, 0—2.
casily The victory was fairly gained, but we have not found the ideal doubles pair. There was a lack of understanding between Wilde and Butler; frequently they got in euch other's way, which should never happen with a good doubles pair.
Caralulis was the weakness in the Rumanian side, and he got 'n very lay winning shots. Wilde and Butter were about equal in ability. Wilde had moments of brilliance, but be also made several bad shots.
