The selection of teams and the arrange­ ments for the above Festival commencing Thursday, September 6th, have now so far advanced that particulars can be published. It will be teen from the names below that the Committee have again been successful in securing most of the leading cricketers of the current year. The “ Week,” as previously announced, will commence with North v. South match on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, September 6th, 7th, and 8th, fol­ lowed by Gentlemen v. Players on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, September 10th, 11th, and 12th, and amongst those appearing in these matches will be Dr. W. G. Grace, Messrs. A. B. Stoddart, H. T. Hewett, W. W. Read, S.

The English cricket team for America, which sails in the early part of September, takes away some of the gentlemen who would otherwise have been able to play, while Mr. G. McGregor, Mr. F. S. Jackson, and Mr. Ernest Smith have from various causes been unable to accept the Committee’s invitation to play. Thoms and Carpenter will again offioiate as umpires, and the S.E.R. and L.B. and S.C.R. will repeat their arrangements of previous years as to oheap fares and excursions. Military bands will perform during the week. S U R R E Y v. N O T T S . T he experience o f M onday and T uesday last at the O val show ed t h a t , notw ithstanding the ill- Buccess o f the latter C ounty this sum m er, the Bank H oliday m atch betw een Surrey and N otts in L on don has lost little, if any, o f its old interest. R ain w as falling steadily in the early m orning of M onday,and the outlook at about ten o ’clock w as rather suggestive o f a blank day. btill, even at that early h our, several thousands had taken up their p osition s on the ground, and fortunately for them the w eather, though never very bright held up. A s a result, over seventeen thousand paid fo r adm ission, and happily they w ere rew aided by seeing som e g ood cricket A r.liu r Shrew sbury was not able to represent N otts as had been hoped, on the oth er side, M aurice R ead, ow ing to his in jured arm , w as absent. Surrey w ere lucky enough to w in the toss, and as the w icket w as, their score of 299 whs a very fine perform an ce. T he ground played m u ch better than m igh t have been ex­ pected. b u t still the batsm en had generally to play hard fo r their runs. A bel and L ock w ood scored 49 fo r th e first w icket, b u t before lu nch tw o other batsm en, H ayw ard and A bel, had been dism issed fo r an addition o f 34. T h e subsequent batting, how ever, w as generally o f a high standard. M r R ead, M r. K ey. and Street all len t useful help to B rockw ell. w ho played lh rou gh ou t m ost ju d iciou s cr cket, w ith souL d defence and w ithal plenty o f h it w hen occa sion required. W hen K ichardson, the last m an, cam e in, B rockw ell had m ade 83 and it w as very dou btfu l w hether he w ould reach his hundred. R ieh a rd soD , playing w ith con sid erable judgm ent, helped to add 43, so that B rockw ell eventually carried ou t his bat for 106. T h is is h is fifth innings o f three figures in first-class crick et this sum m er, and as a display of w atch fu l and a ttra cts e batting h is 103 w as w orthy o f the h ighest praise. H e gave a very difficult ch an ce at the w icket w hen h e had got 58, bu t this w as the on ly fault in a sp 'en d id exhibition of cricket. P ik e kept w icket in very creditable style. H e oi ly le t on e bye in S urrey’s lon g innings, and caught five batsm en at the w icket. T h e N otts’ fielding, too, w as excellent, to the 1 st, and H agguley b ow led w ell, keeping an excellent length throughout. In the last half-h ou r on M onday, under the disadva-.tage o f a bad light, N otts lost tw o batsm en, D aft rn d Pike, fo r fourteen runs On T uesday m orning Mr. D ixon played w ell, *nd the gam e had on ly advanced a short tim e w hen L ock w ood strained his leg in bow ling so badly that he had to retire. It w as feared that his loss w ould prove a very serious o r e fo r Surrey. F or­ tunately, S m ith, w ho w'ent on w hen he retired, m et w ith ex cep tion al success Supported by very fine all-round fielding, he had a splendid analysis, and, indeed, six o f th e last seven batsm en fell to h im at a cost o f only tw elve runs. B rockw ell m ade tw o very fine catch es at short slip, and, thanks to th e excellent all-round cricket o f the side, N otts w ere out fo r the sm all total o f 73. F ollow ing on in a m inority o f 226, N otts started badly, and in the forty-five m inu tes before lu nch lost A ttew ell, G unn, and F low ers fo r thirty runs T hough the ou tlook then seem ed quite hopeless fo r N otts, som e excellent batting b y M essrs. W right and D ixon w orked a great charge. A t first b oth played carefu iy, b u t w hen they g ot set the cricket becam e m ore lively, and w hen Mr. D ixon w as out, after a m ost creditable innings, 94 ha'i been added as the ou tcom e o f an hour and forty m inutes play. Mr. W right, w ho had played w ith great nerve and judgm ent, w as sixth ou t w ith th e total at 165. F or three hours and a quar­ ter he had m et all the Surrey bow lers w ith equal confidence, and his 71 w as an in nings w oith y of the h ighest praise. T hough after his retirem ent Mr. H ow itt played very fine cricket, the oth er b a ts­ m en did little, and soon after six o ’clock Surrey had w on by an innings and fifteen runs. On the first day 17,595 passed though the p u blic turnstiles, and on the second 15,603, so that in the m atch 32,898 persons paid for adm ission to the ground S u r r e y .

W ith m oat com m endable liberality the Y ork ­ shire C om m ittee had set aside the proceeds of the B ank H oliday m atch w ith L ancashire, at B radford, fo r the benefit o f R . Peel, w hose all­ round crick et had been o f great service to Ihe C ouuty fo r the last tw elve years. T he L anca'-hire eleven, too, in their recent m atches had been show ing such excellent form , that particular interest was attach ed to their second m eeting w ith the all-pow erful com b in a tion representing Y orkshire. F ortunately, too, t ie w eather, th ou gh dull and threatening on M onday, held up, and the result o f the m atch w as n ot on ly a keen and exciting gam e, but a great financial success. Y orkshire w on the toss, and a ’though they fo r fourteen lost B row n. M r. Jack son and M ounsey, did w ell cn the slow w icket to reach a total c f 181. F or this creditable p erform an ce they w ere m ainly indebted to T unni liffe, Mr. Sm ith, and W ainw right. T he stand o f M r. Sm ith and T unnicliffe w as the feature o f the innings. T u n ­ nicliffe played excellent crick et fo r his 56, the result o f an h ou r and forty m inu tes’ batting. W ith M r. Sm ith he pu t on 98 in forty-five m inu tes fo r the fou rth w icket. Mr. Sm ith, o f these, m ade 5 i w ith his usual freedom . T w ice he sent Briggs over the footb all pavilion, and as an illu stration o f his pow erful hitting it need only be added that his 52 w ere g ot in sixteen h its W ainw right’s 36, too, w as a ca p ital display of ciick e t. M old took six o f the ten w ickets at a cost o f 63 runs.*M r. M acL aren and A lbert W ard , w ho haye beep scoring eo w ell o f late, again started w ell fo r L ancashire, scoring 91 fo r th e first w ick et in an h ou r and forty m inutes. T hen W a rd w as finely caught at poin t, and ju st before the end o f the day, w hen the score w as 102 fo r tw o w ickets, M r M acL aren had been d ism is;ed. T h e gam e then look ed v< ry hop efu l fo r L ancashire, bu t on T uesday m orning, w ith the excep tion o f iv-r. T ndall, the later batL- m en did so little thut the innings w as over fo r an addition o f on ly 79 runs. G oing in tw o runs to th e good, Y orkshire on ce m ore sta rted badly, losing L ord H aw ke and T unnicliffe for only nine runs. A show er slightly prolon ged the interval, and on resum ing B row n and Mr. Jackson played so w ell that 72 w ere added in ju st about th e sam e num ber o f m inutes M r. Sm ith, w ho follow ed Mr. Jackson, w as Iradly m issed at lon g-off the first t all he received, and this m istake had a serious effect on L an cash ire’s chances. W ith this life he set to w ork to hit w ith all his v.sual freedom , m ak­ ing 58 b efore he returned one to the bow ler. W ain­ w right and M oorhouse subsequently lent useful assistance, and play ceased on T uesday w ith the fa ll o f th e la'-t Y orkshire w icket, at 247. L an ca ­ shire, left w ith 220 to w in, had a very difficult task b tfore them yesterday. T h eir chances, too, w ere reduced by the rain fall overnight, and th e i 1- success o f Mr. M acL aren and A lbert W ard, w ho have scored so con sisten tly o f late fo r them , gave Y orkshire an encouragem ent w hich did m u ch to influence th e resuh. F ou r o f the best batsm en were ou t fo r 25, and th ou gh B riggs and Baker added forty w hile they w ere together, in a little over half-an-hour, their stand w as the only feature o f the innings. T h e la ter b atm ien offered little opposition, and by on e o ’clock Y orkshire had w on w ith 117iu n s to spare. T h e attendance w as again good, and as overfourteen hundred pounds w as taken in the first tw o days, Peel, as everyone w ill be glad to hear, w ill have a very substantial benefit.
