Wally Hardinge, for many years Kent's opening batsman, has played his last game for Kent. His engagement has been terminated. This do- cision was reached recently by the Committee of the Kent Club, who informed Hardinge that they had voted him £500 in further acknowledgment of his services, and in the way of a parting gift..
