T he Scarboro’ Festival came to an end yesterday with the conclusion of this match, which had been substituted for the original fixture, Surrey v. N orth of England. Mr. Thornton had been fortunate, too, in securing a fairly representative eleven, and with Surrey, barring the absence of Mr. Shuter, playing her full strength, the game naturally attracted great interest. Although the wicket was still soft after the heavy rain of Saturday, there was not m uch fault to be found with it on Monday, and O’Brien having beaten Read in the spin of the coin had no hesitation in taking first innings. Barnes and Murdoch commenced the batting for the England eleven to the bowling of Lohm ann and Lockwood. A t the outset a series of disasters overtook the combined team. A t three Murdoch was “ yorked” by Lohm ann, and at seven a fast rising ball glanced off Barnes’ bat and was secured by W ood at the wicket. W ith 11 up, Gunn tamely returned one to Lohmann, and had to retire for seven. Stoddart and Sm ith, who were now associated, placed a far better aspect on the game. Both played splendid oricket and the score rose fast. Stoddart landed a ball from Lohm ann on to the covered seats which bounded away into the Recreation Ground. W ith the score at52 Smith gave a very easy chance to Baldwin at third man which that fieldsman dropped, though it is only fair to him to say that it was his only blem ish in some generally brilliant fielding. Shortly after, Smith hit a skyer, which possibly Key m ight have got to, if he had gone for it, but the ball fell harmlessly. A t 56, Richardson took the ball from Lockwood, but the parting came from the other end, and without addition to the score, Stoddart, jum ping in to drive Lohmann, was clean bowled. The wicket had put on 45, just when runs were much wanted. Of these the out­ going batsman had contributed a useful 25. O’Brien filled the vacancy, but with only five added, was yorked by Richardson, and at 69 the same bowler shot down W ainw right’ s off stump. W ith his score at 30, Sm ith was again missed, this time by Maurice Read in the long field, and shortly after was twice let off by W ood at the wicket. These escapes only induced the batsman to take further liberties, and he did pretty nearly the |whole of the scoring. W hen the total wanted one run of the hundred, Richardson took Peel’s wicket with a bailer. In the hope of getting a wicket before lunch, Abel took the ball from Lohm ann, and as so often happens the change imm ediately worked. A fter Sm ith had scored a single, Ferris patted the very next ball back to the bowler, and with his dismissal for a cipher the players retired |for lunch, the score being 114 for eight wickets, Smith not out 70. During the interval the crowd had consider­ ably increased, and nearly every seat was taken when at 2.55 the innings was resumed, Attewell having filled the vacancy. The score mounted fast, till with 90 to his credit, Sm ith received a life at the hands of Abel, who entirely misjudged the catch. W ith a hit for four he completed his century, Abel allowing the ball to travel to the boundary. This had taken him an hour and fifty minutes, a splendid performance against such bowling. A t 159, Richardson took the ball from Lockwood, and with six added got Attewell caught at m id-off. The ninth wicket had added 5 1, of which Attewell accounted for only 14. McGregor brought up the rear, and immediately after Smith gave an easy chance to Abel in the out field, which wa3 again dropped. W ith the total at 185, the innings came to an end, Abel at last catching Smith. The batsman received a hearty reception on returning to the pavilion. Though his brilliant innings was marred by no less than seyen chances, still it was a great performance for any man to score 122 of 176 runs from the bat. Included in his score was a gigantic hit for six out of the; ground, eight fours, four threes, and twenty-four twos. The innings closed at 3.40, and after twenty-five minutes’ interval M. Read and Baldwin opened the Surrey batting, facing the bowling of W ain­ wright and Ferris. A similar commencement to that of the other side was witnessed. W hen three byes had been obtained Wainwright bowled Read all over his wicket, and at 10 the same bowler dismissed Baldwin. W ithout another run Lockw ood, failing to get hold of a ball from Ferris, was caught at third man. W . W . Read and A bel put a m uch better face on the game, the form er playing brilliant cricket. Peel for Ferris was the order at 33, but the Surrey Captain hit him for two fours and a tw o in his first over. H e followed this up with a grand hit for four from Wainwright, which caused Attewell to take the ball. Read hit the new bowler to leg the first ball for four, but he reached too far forward in playing at the next and was bowled. Henderson joined Abel, and the cricket became terribly slow, the only score of note for a long time being a fine cut by the former for four off Attewell. At 77 Ferris bowled Henderson with a ball that came in from the off. Key followed in, and opened his account with a four to the off from Ferris. The batsmen now woke up, and as the scoring became much faster, W ain­ wright and Smith took the ball at 93 and 97 respectively. Abel saved the follow-on with a fine hit to leg off Smith, but at 110 W ain­ wright bowled him for 42, a fine innings without the semblance of a chance. L oh­ mann, who came in, was evidently bent on hitting, and almost immediately caught by Gunn in the long field, Play ceased for the day, the score reading 116 for seven wickets, Key not out 8. On Tuesday m orning, when the game was resumed Brockwell filled the vacant wicket. W ainwright finished his over, Attewell bowling from the other end. B rockw ell sent W ainwright to square-leg for four run out, but with the score at 129, he failed to quite get hold of a ball from the same bowler, and was caught by Gunn running in from long-on. W ith 143 up W ood hit across at a ball from Attewell and was bowled for eight. The score was taken to 153, when an unanimous appeal for a catch at the wicket was given against Richardson, and the innings closed, Key taking out his bat for a well-played nineteen. A fter twenty minutes’ interval, Surrey being thirty-tw o runs behind, the m atch was resumed. Barnes and Murdoch, who were the first batsmen, had to face the bowling of Lohmann and Lockw ood. Barnes with his score at six was clean bowled by Lockwood, andby slow degrees the’score reached 18, when a beauty from Lockw ood sent back Gunn. A fter the interval Stoddart joined Murdooh, who began with a lucky snick for four from Lohm ann. As runs were com ing fast, at 53 Richardson took the ball from Lohmann, a good chance for Stoddart, who scored ten from the new bow ler’s first over. The wicket was now playing very easy, and as the score was increasing rapidly A bel replaced Lock­ wood. By this tim e the batsmen had got thoroughly well set, and though Lockw ood went on again for Richardson and Lohmann for Abel no parting was effected. A t 128 W . W . Read went on w ith lobs, and off his first ball Lohmann missed Murdoch at m id-on. A t 139 a very confident appeal for lbw was given in favour of the batsman, but with the score at 142 the partnership came to an end, Stoddart returning one to Lohm ann, having soored 73 without giving a chance. The partnership had lasted eighty m inutes and added 124 runs to the score. Sm ith filled the vacancy, and in trying to place a lob was bowled for six. O ’Brien, the next comer, scored two fours off Read and then drove one straight back to Abel,who accepted the catch. W ainwright followed in, but with tho score at 196 another wicket fell to the lob bowler, Murdoch being clean bowled for a wonderfully well played 83. Peel was in next, and a big hit for four to W ain­ wright sent up 200. W ith 224 on Lockw ood took the ball from W . W . Read. B y slow degrees the score reached 228, when a splendid catch off his own bowling by Lohmann sent back Wainwright, who had added 21. When Ferris came in, the light was very bad, and the first ball, which nearly bowled him , went for four byes. Cricket was now very slow, and at 236 the new com er was caught in the slips by Henderson off Lohmann. M cGregor followed, and was stumped at the second attempt by W ood without scoring. Attewell was the last man,’ and at 247 the innings closed, A bel catching Peel at slip off Lohm ann. As only twenty minutes remained for play, stumps were then drawn for the day. The Festival ended as it had com ­ m enced, in rain. No play was possible yesterday from this cause, and at luncheon tim e it was decided to abandon the match with the score as under : M r . C. I.
