KENT v. ALL ENGLAND.—This match was resumed on
Tuesday, at Canterbury, in the presence of several thou-
sands of spectators, amongst whom were nearly every family
of. importance, "noble and gentle," in the county. There
were, too, a considerable number of known supporters of the
game from London and its neighbourhood, but so many were
there that it is impossible to enumerate them. It may, how-
ever, be stated that the Earl of Winchilsea was •upon the
ground, and not only manifested a great deal of interest as
the match progressed, but became an annual subscriber to the
Kent Cricket Club of 51. It may also .be stated that W. Deedes,
Esq., the Member for the county and the President of the
Club, set on foot a subscription, with a view of enabling
Lillywbite to pay the expenses which are likely to accrue to
him in consequence of the accident he sustained on the pre-
ceding day. As soon as the collection had been concluded,
the Hon. Member presented the amount to the invalid, ac-
companied with the expression of a hope that he might be
soon able to resume his vocation. The play was re-opened
by L'orrinton and Hillyer again going to the wicket. The
full score of Kent in this innings was IC9, or 44 ahead of their
opponents
When the stumps were drawn for the day the score stood
thus :
