Cricket 1895

A p r il 25 , 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 95 for the sixth. Mr. Bead batted six and a half hours. The game was drawn. Hampshire then took with resignation one of its usual beatings in an innings ; and Middlesex lost at the Oval by three wickets, in a match made memorable by “ Farmer” Burton’s feat of taking all the Surrey wickets in the first innings. A small-scoring match with Kentat Beck­ enham, in which Lohmann and Alec Hearne bowled finely, was won by 89 runs; and Sussex was beaten by ten wickets at Brighton, Mr. Shuter and Abel hitting off the 118 required to win in the second innings. A drawn game (through rain) with the Australians was followed by an innings victory over Lancashire, who, on their own ground, only made 98 runs in two innings, Lohmann taking 13 wickets for 51. Notts went down by 78 runs in the August Bank Holiday match, Lohmann and Beaumont getting the Licemen out for 53 in their second inn­ ings, and Mr. Shuter scoring most runs. The Surrey batsmen were seen at their best in the next match, the return with Sussex. The first wicket, Mr. Shuter (95) and Abel (59), put on 161; the fourth, Mr. Key (84) and Mr. Bead (171), added ] 93, made in a little over two hours; Mr. Bead and Mr. Bowden scored 127 for the sixth; andHenderson,though onlymaking 33, helped Mr. Bowden to add 116 for the seventh. The innings closed for 698, up to then a record in English first-class cricket, the old Dulwich boy carrying out his bat for a splendid 189. Sussex suffered defeat in the end by an innings and 485 runs—probably the biggest lick­ ing on record! After this came a most disappointing game with Lancashire, lost by nine wickets, owing to sheer bad fielding. Mr. Joseph Eccles made 184, but was let off half-a-dozen times pr more; and the Surrey men had only themselves to thank ior their defeat. At Bradford, however, they somewhat redeemed their character, beating Yorkshire by an innings and 128 ; Maurice Bead made 109, Mr. Key 108, Lohmann 80, and Abel 60; and three times over one hundred was scored between the fall of two wickets. Three victories over second-class counties, Leicestershire by nine wickets, Essex by six, and Derbyshire by seven, followed ; and the season wound up by a defeat of 34 runs from the Australians, Bonnor scoring an innings of 87 and Maurice Bead making 89 in the match. Surrey’s record in 1888 was not inferior to that of 1887. One more match was lost; but, on the other hand, but one defeat was received at the hands of a first- class county against two in the former year. Lohmann’s bowling (he took 207 wickets at a cost of less than 10 runs each), and the fine batting all-round in a year in which batsmen generally failed, were the features of the season. Mr. W. W. Read scored 1288 runs—-average 44; Abel 1145—33, Mr. M. P. Bowden 797— 31, while Messrs. Key and Shuter, and Maurice Bead all scored over 700 with averages ranging from 28 to 26. Beau- niont (126 wickets for 11 each) and Bow- ley (72 for 14) did, with Lohmann, ,practically all the bowling. ( To be continued.J GBEEN-JACKETS. May 14. (1) College, v. Winchester College. May 20.
