A u g . 15, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 341 E SSEX v. SURREY. At Leyton, August 8th, 9th. and l°th. In view of their strong engagements for this week. Surrey in the return match with Essex left out Tom Richardson, their famous fast bowler, and K. J. Key also s ood down. Smith and Street filling the vacancies. E sshx were without A . P. Lucas, and F. G. Bull gave place to Pickett. The ground had escaped the late pretty general deluge and was hard and fast. Abt 1aud M. Read opened well for 8urrey, and in sixty-five minutes scored 91 runs for the fi st wicket. Read batting well for his 39, which included an on-drive for 5 Hayward helped Abel to put on 56 for the second wicket and then came a startling breakdown. Mr. Kortright put in a remarkable piece of bowling, for in fifteen balls he clean bowled Hayward, Druce, Abel, Lohmann, Walter Read, and Street, and 4 runs only were hit from him. Abel had been at the wicket two hours and forty minutes for his 88, but was missed at 52 and also at 81. Apart from the>e faults he had played capital cricket. After the astonishing success of Mr. Kortright Brockwell played carefully for a time, but at 174 fell a victim to the same bowler. Then Lockwood and Wood made a wel­ come stand, 32 going on for tbe eighth wicket, and W ood being once more not out. Before play for the day ceased Essex scored 60 for two wickets, Carpenter being not out 37, and having completed his 1,000 runs this season. Next morning rain spoiled the wicket, and despite Carpenter’s capital 56. which occupied two hours, Essex were all disposed of for 138. of which Russell and Pickett put on 22 for the last wicket. F. Smith bowled capitally, and did most of the execution. Surrey were 76 on, and the fast bowler being unable to get a foothold, they were able to score 172 for the loss of seven wickets, making their position secure. M. Read was dismissed at 2, but Abel and Hayward, by steady play, took the score to 43. N. F. Druce hit hard, and though missed when 22, played good cricket on a bad wicket, and made 37 out of the next 62. Hayward was in an hour and forty minutes for 28, and after he left Mead met with great success, and the score was but 125 when the seventh wicket fell. Street and W ood, however, made a spirited stand, and having increased the score by 47, were still together when time arrived. Saturday saw Surrey’s innings close for 209, Lohmann hitting up 21 out of 28whilst at the wicket. When Essex went in Lohmaun and Smith bowled with great effect, so that six wickets were down for 46 and nine for 63, Johnstone alone making a fair score. Pickett and Mead put on 21 for the last wicket, but Surrey won by 201 runs. Smith in the match had ten wickets for 59, and Lohmann eight for 93. Score and analysis S u rrey . First Innings.

The opening day of this match was much spoilt by rain. In tne first place, the wicket was soft, and then play was curtailed sadly by showers. Woods won the toss, and L. Palairet commenced with Fowler another of his fine displays o f batting. Fowler and Hill left early, but Hoe proved an admirable partner, and both he and Palairet hit out spl- ndidly, 70 going on in an hour, when hoe was finely caught. R. Palairet came in, and by slower play 28 were put on for the fourth wicket in forty minutes. Woods aud Palaiiet scored much more quickly, and 60 were made in thirty-five minutes; but then the bowlers had a turn, four wickets falling for 18 runs. Palairet was 1attint? two houisaud three-quarters for his 91, which included ten 4’s. On Saturday the innings was soon con­ cluded. Going in on a drying wicket, Sussex fared disHstrously. Marlow left at 7, and Ranjitcinhji was caught from the second ball he received. Murdoch played well and with confidence, but Fry, Newham, and Brann were all out when the score was five for 56. Murdoch followed at 76 after an hour’s excellent play, and Bean alone of the other batsmen reached double figures, his 30. like the captain’s score, being well made. One hundred and twenty-three to the bad, Sussex followed on, but again, with one brilliant exception, did very badly against Tyler, whose slows were suited by the wicket, and were very difficult to play. Wickets fell very rapidly, four men being out for 14,^six for 27. and seven for 31. rl hen Hartley stayed with Fry while 30runs were added, and on Butt coming in a really good stand was made, 75 runs going on, and the innings defeat being averted. At last Fry was caught for an excellent 90. He gave two difficult chances at 41 and 81, and an easy one at 84. but when everyone else was failing, he played most coirect cricket. He was batting an hour and fifty minutes, and hit twelve 4’s. Butt’s display was also valuable, as well for his own score of 28 as for the support given to Fry. Somerset wanted but 21 to win, and these were got by Hill and Capt. Hedley in a quarter of an hour, thewestern county winning by ten wickets. Score and analysis :— S om erset . First Innings. Mr. C.
