Yorkshire won by 266 runs, In this match Gloucestershire were quite out­ played. The bowlers held the upper hand on the first day, and only Mr. Jackson, Hirst and Mr. Sewell made any runs to speak of. In the second innings of Yorkshire, Mr. Jackson, who has not been doing too well lately, played a brilliant innings of 91, and Hirst was again seen at his best. Most of the other Yorkshiremen made double figures. Gloucester- shire had not the slightest chance of winning when they went in a second time on Tuesday, even if W. G. had come o ff; but he failed for the second time in the match, and only Mr. Jessop made runs. Y orksh ire . First innings. F. S.

THE AUSTRALIANS. THE FIRST SURREY MATCH. (THE TWENTY- THIRD OF THE TOUR.) Played at the Oval on July 27, 28 and 29. Australians won by seven wickets. It cannot be said that by losing the toss against Surrey, Trott has at last discovered that fortune can be fickle even to him ; on the contrary, the loss of the toss saved him from a dilemma which every captain is anxious to shim. For the wicket was soft, and it might improve or it might not, and in such an important match a captain hardly knows whether to put his opponents in or not. The Surrey captain decided not to risk the chance of having to play on a deteriorating wicket, and although towards the end of the day it became very obvious that instead of deteriorating it was very decidedly improving, Surrey made a score large enough to give them a fair chance of coming out of the match with credit. At first the bowlers were very difficult indeed to play; while the ball travelled so slowly that a boundary hit was not easy to make. But for all that a fine start was made by BrockweU and Abel, and although Holland and Hayward were unfortunate, Leveson- Gower made a splendid stand with A bel; indeed, so well did he bat, that there were hopes-slight hopes perhaps—that both men would make a hundred against their famous opponents. Abel succeeded in accomplishing the feat, but the Oxford captain, who it will be remembered, played a great innings for his University against the Australians, was out soon after he had passed his fifty. Friends and opponents alike are agreed that Abel’s innings was one of the finest that he has ever played. At the end of the innings Baldwin and Lockwood did well, and the total was 283, which was a large score for the Aus­ tralians to face, however the wicket might improve. They had the trying experience of a few minutes batting before stumps were drawn, but did not lose a wicket. For atime on the next morning it seemed as if Surrey would have a walk over, but Gregory and Darling played such good cricket that at lunch time the score was 152 for five wickets. Even then Surrey had decidedly the upper hand, and when another wicket fell for an addition of 8 runs, they were in a good position. Trumble and Hill made a good stand for the seventh wicket, and when Trumble was out for 22, the total was 192, and the game was very even. But by this time Hill had settled down comfortably, and when Kelly came in the score mounted up and up, until the Surrey total was passed. Kelly made a very useful and vigorous 44, and Jones hit hard for 23, and as Hill had all this time been rapidly adding to his score, the Surrey total was left far behind. Hill’s innings of 118 not out was worthy of all praise. Like the Australians on the previous day, Surrey had a few minutes batting before stumps were drawn, but unlike the Australians, they were unlucky enough to lose two wickets in a very bad light, so that their prospects for the morrow were by no means cheerful. Abel and Hayward, however, played such fine cricket that there was every prospect of a good match, but when Hayward was unfortunately run out there was a great collapse, and, after all, the Australians won with great ease. It was a pity that .Lohmann and Mr. Key were unable to play for Surrey, and that Holland was too ill to bat in the second innings. S u rrey . First innings.

Kent won by an innings and 34 runs. By winning the toss, Kent gained an immense advantage, for when Warwickshire went in the wicket had become very much in favour of the bowlers. Although Kent made a good score theirprospects was not of the brightest, until Mr. Marchant and Walter Wright by some resolute hitting, completely altered the appearance of the score. Alec. Heame played one of his careful and correct innings. The War­ wickshire batsmen did very little indeed against Mr. Shine in the first innings, and Wright and Alec. Hearne in the second. K ent .
