EAST OF ENGLAND.

Got Out Cheaply. NEW ZEALAND’S START POOR. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received Julv 10 at 5.5 p.m.) * LONDON, July 9. The New Zealand cricketers began a match at Wisbeck against the East of England. The local team won the toss and batted. All were out for 170 runs. * The pitch was soft, and the New Zealanders made up for the loss of the toss by dismissing four of the Eastlanders before lunch. Dacre. Lowry, and Merritt bowled well. Carnegie-Brown was responsible for 32 of the first 48, his contribution including six 4’s. The side were all out for two hundred minutes’ play. The visitors made a bad start Dempster was well set when he was run out, while Lowry was caught in the slips off his glove. Half of the New Zealanders were out for 57. Then Dacre and Page became associated, tho former giving a splendid all-round display, while Page played good forcing strokes. Following are the scores:— EAST OF ENGLAND —Ist Innings.

Kennedy’s feat in taking ten wickets in the match Gentlemen v. Players has only been paralleled by the Kentishman Fielder in 1906. Hearne had a chance to get the last wicket caught and bowled, and many of the spectators thought that he dropped the ball deliberately in order not to spoil Kennedy ’s chance.
