A CROP OF CENTURIES. At Northamptonshire, the home county gained, the verdiet over Hampshire on the first innings.
Hampshire took first knock, the Teature of their innings being a fine century by Kennedy who was top- rer with 103 runs. The side *BCOTer

Warwick only mustered 188 in reply and were consequently forced to follow-on. They had got together 151 for 3 in their second innings when stumps were drawn.

EFFORT.

“A Good Benent, There was another good crowd- 7,683 paying gate-and what with a collection on the ground and a subscription list, Hondren should do well. Ho himself made a con- tury, his side won; and the fiancial. result was satisfactory. What more. could the heart of a cricketer desire Hondren deserves his good fortune, for he has been, and still is a great cricketer, and his po pularity was proved-if any proof were needed by the affectionate welcome he received from the crowd on Monday when he went in to bat
There had been heavy rain in the night, but the pitch did not appear to be affected when Hendren (68) and Newman (91) went on batting. Newman was out at once, but the next partnership added 100 runs to the score. Tate was off the field. for the first hour, having treatment for a leg muscle, and his abzonco was naturally folt by Sussex, whose fielding, moreover, fell away from the high standard of the previous day. Allen (15) was missed from a akior between the wickets, off Wensley, by Cornford, and when 35 he should have been caught at mid-on by Wensley. At the end of his innings A. Gilligan might also have caught him at mid-off, but in between these, chances he made many fine strokes, driving hard, and once hitting a full pitch into the grand stand for 6.

The 121st Century.
Hendren also carried the pavilion. rails with a beautiful straight drive off Langridgy, and immediately afterwards was taught at back- ward-point off a miss-hit. This was his 121st century in first class erickot, and at the age of 42 there seems little, if any, lessening either of his skill or his energy. Cornford kept wicket extremely well, but the was a mistake issing of Allen which cost Sussex dear.
When Sussex went in after lun- cheon Allen and Durston, pavilion

end,. were the bowlors. Allen bowled extremely well-with plenty of pace and devil in his deliveries. He gave bis side a great start by getting rid of John Langridge-who played on-and "Duleep" and Bow- ley, who were both caught at second. slip by Durston (the catch which sent back Duleep being a very good one, for the ball was travelling fast. on his left side) for 28 runs. Pes. bles came on for Dursten at-42, and
Robins for Allen at 45,"
Peebles bowled well. He quickly had Cook 1.b.w. to a ball which cao quickly off the pitch, and kept rather low, and Parks was clean bowled 80-14. Robins could not strike his length, but Peebles continued to pazzle the batsmen to such an extent that when he wa taken off at 88 for Durston, the pavilion critica-of whom I candid ly admit that I was one-thought
that a mistake in tactics had been
made. But we were quite wrong- and I am glad to admit it for Durston, in his second over caused James, Langridge to play on, and the next ball clean bowled Tate
103-7-0.
This change of bowling was, as it turned out a stroke of genius on Haig's part-and the reason for it was that Durston always bowls well to a left-hander, Langridge had batted in nice style and, his bat is very straight. Peebles im mediately afterwards came.on for Durston, at 104, and Robins a few minutes earlier had relievod Allen, who had been given a second turn, at 98. Here again the Middlesex captain was inspired-for. Robins had Wensley and Cornford stump- ed, and Peebles bowled Gilligan, Sussex being all out at half-past four. The bowling in this Innings was undoubtedly good. It had variety and spin in Robins and Peebles, dace in Allen, and steadi- ress in Durston, and Haig's man ngement of it was attended with the happiest results the
Middlesex hit off the runs for the loss of Hearne and Newman. Tate was unlucky, for both Hearne and Enthoven gave difficult chances in the slips out his bowling, but En thoven's batting was delightfully free. He made some, superb on drives and square cute and finished the match with inexceedingly powerful on-drive first bounce over. the ropes.
