THE weather ruined Ladies' Day at Canterbury, but 3000 enthusiasts who braved the blustering wind- driven showers saw Jim Smith com- plete his first century for Middlesex- against Kent. Middlesex totalled in 358, and Kent lost six wickets making 108 runs.
Smith reached three figures in seventy-nine minutes, and made 101 out of 121, while of 116 put on for the last wicket he claimed 98. He never resorted to wild indiscriminate slogging, yet four times he drove the ball over the ring, twice clearing the tents, and altogether he hit seven 6s and five 4s.

Fagg batted well for eighty min- utes, and lost his wicket through Valentine delaying to call for single, when the ball went slowly to Smith at mid-off. Todd and Foster were out to consecutive balls, Kent finished 250 behind.
