Though th ey had ve ry considerably the w orst of the cricket on T h u rsd ay at K e n n in g ­ ton O val, the S u rre y eleven played up so well on the follow ing day th a t the game w ent afterw ards a ll in th eir favour, and they were able to w in w ith 136 runs to spare. W ith the exception of M r. C . D . B u xto n , who is in South A frica , E s s e x had its fu ll strength, w h ile S u rre y w as w itho ut M r. K e y , M aurice Read, and Lo hm an n , a ll of whom were playing for M r. La ve rto n ’s eleven against the A u s­ tra lia n s. E s s e x , who w ent in first, made a cap ital show on the fast w icket. M r. C . E . G reen batted in quite h is old form for 81, and, th an ks to the fine cricket of M r. Row e and the free h ittin g subsequently of Littlew o od , the side were not out u n til a quarter past four o’clock. M r. Row e, who w ent in second w icket, w as u n lu cky in ju s t failin g to reach h is hundred. H e was altogether three hours at the w icket, and h is score of 98 not out was a rem arkab ly good d isplay of batting. W h ile he w atched the b all ca re fu lly, he lost no chance of scoring, and there w as no real m is­ take in h is inning s, excepting a chance to slip w hen he had got 60. W h ile Littlew o o d was in w ith h im ru n s came fre e ly, and 76 were added during th e ir partnership in fifty m in u tes. S u rre y made a ve ry poor show when th e ir tu rn came to bat, and s ix of the best batsm en were out for only 58 ru n s. Wood, Lockw ood, and Sharpe, how ever, p ut a better com plexion on the game, and at the end of the day the total w as 123 w ith eight w ickets dow n. Fo llo w in g on in a m in o rity of 135 on the follow ing m orning, th ey were, how ever, seen to better advantage, and the E s s e x men had a fu ll day’s fielding. M r. Sh u ter and A b el laid th e foundation of th eir lon g score of 431, b u t seven of th e eleven got dou b le figures, and th e last w icket added 40 runs. T h e rale o f scorin g th rou gh ou t w as h igh , and the average du rin g the innings, w h ich lasted ju st under five hours an d a half, w as 80 runs an hour. M r. Shu ter and A b el added 148 runs in an h ou r and three-quarters, and b oth w ere seen to advantage in their respective styles. A b el, after m akin g 50 w ith ou t an yth in g like a m istake, w as given ou t caught at th e w icket— a questionable decision. M r. Shuter rem ain ed u n til th e total w as 215, w h en h e w as bow led. H e had m ade 117 in tw o hours and fifty m in utes, and his runs w ere got in h is best and m ost attractive style. H e ou gh t, th ou gh , to have been caught at lon g-off w hen he h ad got 66 , and, a little later, b y th e w icket-keeper. Sharpe tow ards the close of th e in n in gs batted in excellen t form , and, as w ill be seen, he scored 64 runs in th e m atch w ith ou t bein g on ce out. T h e grou n d w as a trifle slow er on Saturday after the over-nigh t rain, an d E ssex never look ed like gettin g th e 297 runs required to w in . B urns and M r. B u rrell p u t on 59 runs fo r th e nin th w icket, and L ittlew ood and M r. B ish op scored fast w h ile th ey w ere to ­ gether. Sharpe b ow led w ith great success, an d h is five w ickets w ere g ot at an average cost of under 9 runs. M ead, w h o is engaged, w e believe, at B roxbou rn e, m ade h is first a p ­ pearan ce for E ssex in th is m atch . H e bow ls w ith ju dgm en t, and fielded w ell, too, in addi­ tion . T h e all-rou n d crick et o f the E ssex eleven w as very creditable, an d th eir excellen t show against a strong side so early in th e year gives prom ise of a very successful season. E ssex .

Mr. Bishop bow led one no-ball. S U S S E X v . N O T T S . T h e N ottingham shire eleven opened th eir season at T re n t B rid g e , at the end of last w eek, w ith a ve ry decisive victo ry over Sussex. L a s t year th ey beat the same county by m ore than an in n in g s in the firs t m atch, and on th at occasion Sh rew sb u ry and Gunn were responsible for 178 out of 269 from the bat. H isto ry repeated itse lf in the present instance, for not only did the home team w in in a single in n in g s w ith p lenty to spare, but the same two professionals w ere in even greater evidence, contributing 463 out of 575 got from the b at. T h e ir perform ance has, indeed, been so fa r the sensation of the year. Going in first on an excellent w ick e t, M r, D ixo n w as out w ith the total at 26. T h e n Gunn joined Sh rew sbu ry, and the two great bats­ men w ere s till in at the end of the d ay, when the to tal w as 341 w ith only one w icke t down. F o r five hours and a q uarter they had played adm irable cricke t, and the on ly chance by e ith er w as one by Sh rew sbu ry to m id-on, a ve ry unfortunate m istake fo r Sussex, w hen he had got 74. On the follow ing m o rning the two batsm en showed the same m astery over the bow ling, and 57 w ere added before the p artnership w as broken by the d ism issal of G u n n . I t had lasted ju st s ix hours, and the total of 398 is larg er th an any as yet recorded in an im p ortant m atch, exceeding by 58 the runs got by M essrs. K e y and P h ilip so n for O xford U n iv e rsity v . M iddlesex, at C h is­ w ick P a rk , in 1887. G unn made nothing like a m istake in scoring 196, and as a d isplay of correct and stylish cricke t it w as w o rth y of the highest praise. H e never seemed in the slig htest d ifficu lty w ith an y of the bow lers, and no chance of scoring was allow ed to escape. H is figures included eleven 4’s, eleven 3’s, and tw en ty-n in e 2’s. W h ile the rem aining batsmen h it out at everyth in g w ith apparently the intention of g etting out, Shrew sbury continued h is w atch fu l game undisturbed. A t 669, how ever, he was caught, and thus a ve ry rem arkable innings came to an end. H e w as batting altogether eight hours and fifty m in u tes, and w ith the exception of h is chance at 74, there w as no kind of flaw in h is batting. H e w atched the ball w ith h is u sual care, and h is judgm ent in tim in g end placing the b all w as never at fau lt. In h is 267 w ere nineteen 4’s, s ix ­ teen 8 ’s, and nineteen 2’s. Sussex had tw o hours and a quarter le ft for batting on F rid a y n ig h t, and thanks to some good cricket by M r. N ew ham , Bean , and Jesse H id e, they made 26 in the tim e for the loss of h alf the w ickets. T h e ra in of F rid a y n ig h t gave the bowlers a little help on Satu rd ay m orning, and the inning s was finished off for an addition of 60 ru n s. In the follow on M r. S m ith and Jesse H id e both bowled to advantage, b ut the rest did little against B a rn e s’ bow ling, and before five o’clock on Satu rd ay N otts w ere le ft w ith a most decisive victo ry by an innings and 266 ru n s.
