D u rin g the la st tw o or three years the m atches between these counties have been among quite the m ost excitin g of the chief fixtu re s. N or w as the first m eeting of th is season, begun at N ottingham on M onday, any exception to the general ru le . B o th sides, too, w ere in fu ll streng th, and the N o ttin g ­ ham p ub lic, who have been ra th e r lukew arm in th e ir support of county cricket, showed th e ir in terest in th is p a rticu la r contest by a large attendance, num bering w ell over ten thousand. In the toss for choice of in n in g s, fortune favoured N ottingham , and S u rre y had to take the field first. A t the outset, too, th ey did fa irly , m a in ly through the effective bow ling of Lo hm an n , who dism issed M r, D ixo n , B a rn e s, and F lo w e rs in tu rn . Th ree *ood w ickets w ere down for 37, but Shrew s­ bury and Gunn w ere ve ry d ifficu .t to dislodge, and 67 w ere added before the form er, who had been in tw o hours and a h a lf, w as beaten by Lo hm an n . G unn had m eanw hile, w hen he had only made 10 , been b ad ly m issed in the slip s, and for th is m istake S u rre y suffered dearly. A t least, he stayed w ith Scotton u n til the score had been raised to 180, w hen he le t a b all of B o w le y get past h im . I t w as thought th at he m ig h t not be able to p lay, ow ing to the in ju ry to h is hand at L o rd ’s on F rid a y , but h is b atting did not appear to be at a ll affected, and d u rin g h is in n in g s, w h ich lasted ju st under three hours, he showed a ll h is usual m astery of the bow ling. Scotton played w ith m uch more freedom th an has been h is w ont for h is 38, and some vigorous h ittin g a little late r by Shacklock enabled N otts to reach a creditabletotalof 231. S u rre y had only a quarter le ft for batting on M onday, and d u rin g th at tim e m ade 13 runs for the loss of one of th e ir best batsm en (Abel). So badly did th ey fare, too, on Tuesd ay m o rning , th a t w hen the sixth w icke t fell the total was only 59. L o c k ­ wood w as the first to give M r. W . W . Read any real assistance, b ut the professional did not long su rvive the loss of M r. R e ad , and w hen the n in th w icket fe ll w ith the score at 116, a follow on seemed ce rtain . Bow ley, the eleventh m an, how ever, played w ith great pluck as w ell as vigour, and am idst considerable excitem ent the follow wag saved, w ith 2 ru n s to spare. T h e last w icket had added 37 ru n s, and both batsm en deserve every p raise for th e ir deter­ m in atio n . T h e second in n in g s of N otts e x­ tended from 2.45 t ill ju st on tim e on Tu esd ay. A s on the previous day, S h rew sb u ry and G unn bore the b ru n t of the batting , and out of the 105 runs scored at the fa ll of the fifth w icket th ey w ere responsible for 83. G unn w as getting very dangerous when a fine catch b y Lo h m an n brought h is in n in g s to a close. S u rre y had done ve ry w ell to get five of the best w ickets down fo r 105, but Scotton, B u tle r, A tte w e ll and Shacklock a ll gave the bowlers First Innings.
