J u n e 27, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 229 SURREY v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Two days’ play sufficed to give the Southerners their revenge for the defeat inflicted upon them by Leicestershire at the opening of the Oval season. At Leicester last Thursday the pitch was somewhat fiery, and the early part of the Surrey first innings gave little promise of the ultimate result, five wickets : going down for 55, those of M. Read, Hayward, Holland, W . Read, and Brockwell. But Abel had been playing in masterly style, and on being joined by Henderson something like a stand was made, and 39 were added before the latter was o u t; 29 later Abel was out for an invaluable 69, made in two hours and twenty minutes, seven wickets being down for 123. Then came a remarkable change. Street and Wood defied every effort of the Leicestershire bowlers, and, aided by a mistake or two in the field, put on 89 in seventy-five minutes before the wicket-keeper left for another of his timely innings. Smith and Street punished the worn-out bowling severely,and 156 were put on before the young bowler was out for 45, one of his best displays. The third hundred in the match wa* made in sixty-five minutes, the first in 125. On Friday Richardson made a dozen, and Street was left not out for a grand 161, made in three hours and thirty-one minutes, not a faultless innings, as he was missed twice when about fifty, but most valuable to his side, nearly twice as large as any previous attempt, and very hard hit, as evidenced by its con­ taining 25 fours. Abel, and in a lesser degree Hender­ son, deserve much of the credit for the big score, for five of the best batsmen made but 17 between them, and things looked very bad for Surrey when they wore down the attack. The two innings of Leicestershire need little description, Richardson having twelve wickets for 165 runs. In their first attempt the only partnerships of note were Holland and Powers, 42 made in nearly an hour, and W oodcock and Tomlin (who had an injured thumb), 36 in twenty-five minutes. 220 behind, the Midlanders never looked like saving the innings’ defeat after Tomlin was bowled at 41 for the first wicket, which fell twenty minutes from the start. No one else exceeded a score, and Surrey finally won by an innings and 91 runs. Hayward did a remarkable little bowling per­ formance, going on at the close of the first innings and getting a wicket for no runs, and at the end of the second innings and obtaining two wickets at the same cost; but, of course, Surrey owe their victory chiefly to Abel, Richardson and Street. Score and analysis : YORKSHIRE v. DERBYSHIRE. Derbyshire were not at full strength for this encounter at Leeds last Thursday, om ng to Hulme, Malthouse, and Evans being unable to leave their professional engagements. Yorkshire too were with­ out Messrs. F. S. Jackson and A. Sellers, who were engaged in the I Zingari match at Lord s. B -tting first, Derbyshire lost one wicket at 19. iben W . Sugg and L. G. W right in 75 minutes added 54 runs, and afterwards the last named and W . Storer put on 55 in an hour for the third partnership. W right s 60 occu­ pied two hours and 25 minutes, but was made by capi­ tal cricket. Wickets then fell very fast until Portei came in as last man, when he with Chatterton made 54 before Chatterton, whose 67 included two chances, was 1. b. w. Yorkshire on Thursday evening lost Brown who made 26-runs, and Denton and runmcline on Friday played well and the total was 97 before the former left for 47 out of 71. Then the Yorkshire bats­ men failed badly and eight wickets were down for 161. Lord Hawke and Whitehead however put on 49 for the ninth wicket, and the former and Hunter 25 for the last; the captain’ s 51 in 75 minutes being a fine display of resolute cricket. Thirty-five ahead, Derby- shire lost W right, Bagshawe, and Chatterton m thr^e- quarters-of-an-hour for 29, and then had nothing the ,•,1_____ \KT a.-trvcr cinrl W Stm’fvr in 35 minutes then put on 53 runs, but seven wickets were down for 120. The later batsmen did respectably, and Yorkshire were left with 228 to win. Beginning very badly, they lost Brown, Tunmcliffe (for the second time in the match run out), Wainwright, and Denton for 21, and seven wickets were down for 67. As m the first innings, Lord Hawke played well, and 31 were added for the ninth wicket, but the end came with the big county beaten by 107 runs, a very creditable victory for Derbyshire. There were no extras by the wicketkeeper in either innings of York­ shire. Score and analysis Abel, b Woodcock ... i Read (M .), c Fougher, b Woodcock ............

LANCASHIRE. For this match at Tonbridge on Thursday last, on a fast and true wicket, Lancashire, with the excep­ tion of A . C. MacLaren, brought their best team, and Kent were, except for W . H. Patterson’s absence, well represented. A large score was expected from Lan­ cashire, who batted first, but with two exception, the batsmen failed badly. Ward made 48, and C. H. Benton, who captained the side, 51 (not out), but the former was missed early in his innings, and the latter escaped three chances. When Kent went in it looked at first as if they would not reach the Lancas­ trians score, five wickets falling to Briggs and Mold for 55, but Wilson and Easby then in seventy-nve minutes put on 88 rims, but both were out before play was adjourned. W ilson’s 51 was a fine innings, including six 4’ s. On Friday, the three last wickets added 31 runs (all three falling to Briggs for 13), and Kent had a lead of 26 on the first hand. Lancashire started slowly in their second innings, and Tinsley was out at 9. Albert Ward and Paul then in seventy minutes put on 56 more, but Sugg and Ward gave quite another sort of display. Playing admir­ able cricket, they added in a hundred minutes 151 runs, Ward then leaving for 79, made in three hours and five minutes. Six wickets then fell for the addition of 53 runs, Sugg being out ninth at 280. His 125 was without a fault, was made in two hours and thirty-five minutes, and included a five and six­ teen 4’s. Baker and Mold made 39 for the last wicket and Kent were left with 249 to win. Before stumps were drawn Marchant was out and Weigall had twice been missed by the wicket-keeper. On Saturday two more wickets fell cheaply, but Weigall and Alec Heame took the score from 50 to 96 for the fourth partnership. W eigall’s 36 was as lucky as useful. The sixth wicket fell at 102, but Easby and Le Fleming played finely together, and in an hour added 69, the former’s 52 being one of his best dis­ plays. The ninth wicket fell at 190, but Baiss and Wright put some life into the game, and 28 runs were added before Mold finished off the match, Lan­ cashire winning by 75 runs. Baiss was not out in each innings, and his success was very acceptable to the Tonbridge people, as he as well as Rashleigh, Le Fleming and Wilson had been at Tonbridge 'School.
