(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, July 9. Only on three or four occasions have 10 wickets 'been taken by one man in firstclass cricket. The rain on Thursday was followed by hot sunshine yesterday, which made the wicket most treacherous. Before lunch Kennedy pitched the ball between the middle and leg stumps, turning a little from leg and then getting up quickly. This break was obtained by cut, not by finger-spin, and was combined with complete accuracy of length. Kennedy had Parsons Mead and Hendren in the slips and two at short leg. Hearne, 'bowling at the other end, was possibly indulgent at the last wicket, as he missed an easy caught aud bowled chance, enabling Kennedy to accomplish the feat. ~
