The present Surrey Club was formed in the summer of 1845. Their famous ground, tbe Oval, had recently been transformed from a ki chen garden by tbe o li Montpelier Club, whi h had been compelled to seek a new ground through the threatened loss of the Beehive ground, in Walwoith The first match p’ ayed on the Oval was Montpelier v. Clapton on July 17, 1845. Seventy members of the Montpelier he’ ped to form the Surrey Club, their president became the manager of tbe Oval and indeed its lessee, whilst the same club furnished the County with its first secretaiy, W . Den'son; Mr. John Burrup, a’ so from the Montpelier, taking a prominent part in the early day* of the County club. I cannot stop to explain how it was the club bscame lessees of the Oval in 1854, nor to trace the enormous impetus which it has ever since given to our national game. Suffice it to mention that in 1855 tbe mem­ bership had reached 230; in 1861, 1,000 (well nigh), with an income of closa upon £2,000; whilst at the present time the full lm it—3,250—has been reached, with an income in 1892 of £21,476. A 1 the home matches have been played at tbe Oval with two exceptions; in 1854, owing t ) ructions with the manager, W . Houghton, the club resolved to play no matches there; consequently the Notts match was played on Mr. Marshall’s ground at Godalming, whilst both the Sussex matches took place at Brighton. In my first article, men'ion was made of Mr. de Lugo’s book ‘ ‘ Surrey at th9 Wicket ” ; he gives tie fir-t match placed by the present club as Surrey v. M.C.C. in 1814 at L ord 's; but there was no club then. 1846 was ihe start, and Surrey v. Kent was the firot county match plajed on the Oval. In the following summaries, which have been checked most carefully throughout, every county match placed by Surrey has been iac’.uded— second-cliss and first-class equally. But Surrey Club and Ground ma'ches are omitted, even when M.C.C. were their opponents. As will be noticed, the Suirey County— “ Surrey ” —have often m t M.C.C. I have included Surrey v. Manchester, pla;ed in 1857, which Mr. de 1 ugo treats as an extra match. But, like him, I have discarded all matches against Eng- lind in which Surrey and another county united their forces; e g . , Surrey and Sussex v. England in 1852, and twice in 1857 ; Surrey and Kent v. England twice ia 1855; and Surrey and Middlesex v. England in 1867. The scratch match, Surrey v. England, at the close of Lockyer’s benefit in 1866, is not reckoned. On the other hand, I have in­ cluded the matches in 1S58 in which Surrey met combined teams from Sussex and K ent; and also those matches bitween 1859 and 1864 in which both the Universities and Hampshire played more than eleven men aside, Surrey being contented with the regulation number. For conveniance Fake, I have arranged Surrey’s opponents in a’phabetical order. With this exception, the order observed in the two Notches on Yorkshire Cricket and i Cricketers has been fa;rly clo3"ly followed. Mr. de Lugo gives the runs ecored both by Surrey and their opponent?, year by year. It wou’ d ha^e been easy to reproduce his figure’ , but I have preferrei togise the total runs scored by Surrey against each of their opponents, with the runs scored against Surrey.
