E.S.E.Hartopp fielded for Craven. Bell's Life gives Gentlemen of Kent FOW in second innings as 1-13, 2-15, but these are obviously mis-prints
Marylebone Cricket Club passed a new law on June 3rd that in future �wide balls should be run for, for as many as could be got, instead of the ball becoming dead, and only counting one as previously'. Also at the same time, the following addition was made - �that when any bowler bowled a wide or a no-ball it was to be scored down to him with his name attatched'
