W ood, w ho has a cted as S urrey w icket-keeper since 1881, was still unfinished w hen stum ps were draw n at the O val on Saturday night. 'J he pitch prepared had been p rotected by a tarpaulin, and b y consent of th e tw o captains it w as arranged th a t it should be covered, if required, during the m atch, in the event o f rain, w h ich w as on ly necessary during tw o sh ort intervals on T hursday. T h ou gh L anca­ shire, L eiceste shire, W arw ickshire, G lou cester­ shire, Som ersetshire, and Sussex w ere all playiug, tw o fa ir sides had been secured fo r the m atch. T h e S outh w on th e toss, and in the fou r hours and a quarter o f actu al crick et before rain stopped play, scored 316 fo r th e loss o f on ly h a lf their w ickets. A bel, w h o w as cau gh t w hen three runs sh ort o f th e com p letion o f his thousand runs for th e year, w as b attin g an hour and a quarter, and W a lter R ead and R a n jitsin h ji b oth len t B rock- w eil usefu l assistance. In a little over an h ou r and a h a lf th e tw o last-nam ed pu t on 138 fo r th e fifth w icket, and w hen pla y w as stopped B rockw ell w as still in w ith 115 to his credit. On F riday m orning B rockw ell in creased his score b y 13, and w as then caught. In th e three hours and tw enty m inu tes he wt*s in h e had given nothing like a ch a n ce, and as a display of sound and attractive crick et it w as o f th e very h ighest class. Mr L u ca s’s 51, too, w as w orthy o f great praise, and as both J: T . H earne and M artin got in to double figures ttie total eventually reached 399. In their turn the N orth m ade fair use o f an excellent w ick et, rem aining in fo r three hours and three- quarters fo r a tota l o f 244. E igh t o f th e eleven g ot doutfle figures, and Mr. L . G. W right, F low ers, G unn, find M r. W alker w ere all seen to advantage in their several styles. F ollow ing on in a m inority o f 155, th e N orth started w ell in their second in n in g s/ B row n and C hatterton pu tting on 351 in the tw enty m inutes th a t rem ained on F riday night w ith ou t loss. O n Saturday th e n ot outs both played excellen t cricket, and in spite o f several bow ling changes, th e score w as raised to 202 before B row n w as ou t. He had m ade ju st half o f th e total, and h is 101, the result o f tw o hours and tw enty m inu tes’ batting, w as w ith ou t a fault. C h atterton stayed n early h a lf an hour longer, and w as then ou t lbw . F low ers and W ainw right also len t usefu l help, and a t one tim e the ecore w as 300 w ith on ly half th e side out. W hen L ock w ood cam e on again, how ever, he w as very effective, and the rest o f the batting w as rather disapp oin t­ ing. A s the last w ick et fell at 3 :2, the S outh were left w ith 178 te w in. O nly an h ou r rem ained for play, so that there w as n o ch a n ce of a v ictory for them . Still, after M r. G ay’s dism issal at nine, A b el and Mr. L u ca s scored so fa st that 100 w ent up, as the result o f a little over an h ou r’s play. A fter m aking 41 o u t o f 96 b y brilliant cricket, Mr. L u ca s w as bow led, and then any ou tside chance o f a v ictory w as gone. A lec H earne, w ho p ’ ayed w ith his usu al caution , soon lost Abel, w h o w as splendidly ca u gh t at short-slip fo r an adm irable innings o f 63. F ou r m ore had been added w hen the um pires decided the light w as too bad fo r play, and stum ps w ere draw n ten m inutes b efore tim e w ith the S outh still w anting 66 to win and seven w ickets to fall. In the three days 1,097 runs w ere scored fo r thirty-three w ickets. S o u t h —F irst Innings.
