[At Leyton last week Alfred Shaw was bowling to Mr. A. P. Lucas, and after­ wards had a long chat with him.] After so long an absence At Leyton we meet again ; Does the meeting give us pleasure, Or does it give us pain ? The game of cricket has altered, And but few of the old ’uns play, Like the Doctor and two or three others, Who banish the fateful day. We cordially greet each other, In the old familiar tone ; And we think, though we do not say it, His hair has grayish grown ! We speak of a lucky season, And of many a mighty score ; But each in his heart is thinking Of those who are no more. We speak of friends and their hundreds, And of how they cut and bowled, Till the old alone seem youngsters, And the youngsters alone seem old. And at length we can hardly distinguish Between the present and past, And a mitt and shadow of sadness Is over our memories cast. SURREY XI. v. NEXT XY, Played at the Oval on May 1 and 2. Drawn. Despite the handicap of having to bat with fifteen men in the field, the members of the eleven on a not very easy wicket gave a fairly good account of themselves, although Hayward and Holland alone made big scores. Lockward’s 29 in the first innings included a six out of fhe Oval, the ball hitting, with­ out seriously injuring, a boy who had not intended to take part in the game. Of course, the question which was uppermost in the minds of Surrey men, as regards this match, was whether any young bowler would be unearthed, and to a certain extent the ques­ tion was answered favourably, as W. C. Smith distinguished himself. Goatley played well for 60 in th3 first innings for the Fifteen, while Stoner and K. E. M. Barker somewhat surprised the bowlers in the second. Of the regular Surrey bowlers Richardson did much the best. S ubbey . First innings. Second innings.
