Played at the Oval on August 2, 3 and 4. Surrey won by nine wickets. The Notts team thi* year has to a very great extent recovered its prestige, and-it would have been difficult to predict the result of the match with Surrey; so much depended on winning the toss. The spin of the coin was in favour of Surrey,'and as usual, Brockwell and Abel came out to begin the innings, but there was a good deal of anxiety as to what the partnership would be like, for although Abel “ struck ile” at the beginning of the season, the supply had fallen off so considerably of late, that people began to wonder whether it was not almost “ petered out.” But the minds of the spectators were soon set at rest on this point, and when the little Surrey batsman was rather badly missed with his score at 37, it was felt that the supply had been only temporarily cut off. For the rest of the day the Notts men had reason to regret Abel’s return to form, for he was not content witn a little. There were no more mistakes on his part, his placing in the slips was as accurate as ever, and all his strokes came back to him. When stumps were drawn he was not out 211 with the score 414 for seven wickets. Meanwhile, Brockwell had played pretty cricket for 40, and Mr. Jephson had proved his worth to the Surrey XI. by a sound innings of 77. But Hayward, Baldwin, Mr. Leveson Gower, Holland and Mr. Key were not seen at their best. On Tuesday morning the innings was soon finished off for an additional 37 runs, Abel being the first to go for 215; he had been batting for 5 hours and 35 minutes, and his hits included an 8 (4 for an overthrow) and 27 fours. For some reason or other the Notts batsmen were “ off colour ” with the exception of Shrewsbury (who played as finely as ever for 55), and Guttridge, who with J. Gunn as a partner for the last wicket knocked the bowling all over the field. This partner­ ship produced 83 runs, of which no less than 60 belonged to Guttridge. Jn the follow on a good beginning was made, the score at the close of the day being 95 for one wicket (Shrewsbury not out 36 ana Mr. Jones not out 33). Some good cricket was seen on Wednesday, and so well did Shrewsbury bat that a draw seemed possible. But he was out at last, after batting patiently for three hours and a half, in the hope of saving his side from defeat. After that the end was pretty near. It was a very great mis­ fortune for Notts that W. Gunn was too ill to bat in either innings. S u r r e y . Abel, o Attewell, b Guttridge .........215 Brockwell, b Attewell 40 Hayward, lbw, b J.
