CANTEEBUEY, Aug. 26. Witb Cowie in bis best form, Kent found runs mucb barder to obtain loday against tbe New Zealand cricketers. Eigbt wickets fell in an bour, not because tbe batsmen were taking risks, but because tbe bowling was really good. Cowie maintained • a steady iength and good pace and was always menacing. His analysis to-day provides an acourate xeflection of bis merit: Eleven overs, three maidens, 38 runs, 4. Boberts took tbe last two wickets in quick succession.' New Zealand brilliantly opened tbe second innings. [Vivian and Hadlee scored nearly two runs a minute, botji playing freely in front of tbe wickets ,Tbriee wickets were lost quiekly;; 'tbereupon tbe batsmen forf eited aggrestsion for oaution. Moloney and Kerr slowly but surely advanced tbe score till'the latter was brilliantly run out as tbe xesult of smart fielding by Chapman. Moloney and Tindill, batting witb determination, added 92. Moloney was patience personified, hitting 36 singles in. a half-eentury wbicb took over two hours, Tindill, staying for nearly an bour and a-balf was a workmanlike belpmate in a yaluable partnersbip. Tbe wicketkeeper, since tbe match against Essex, bas batted more like Ms usual form in New Zealand. Moloney played anotber resolute innings at a critifeal timo. He batted for just over .tbree boiurs and Mt five fours. Altbougb be scored slowly, he never appeared to be troubled., Scores:— KENT.
