The only bowler who distinguished himself was Goodliffe, who in the course of the match took ten wickets for 142 runs, a fine feat in a heavy scoring game. The highest innings during the match was played by the Hon. M. Herbert, the old Etonian, who made his 149 in three hours, putting on 166 in partnership with Goodliffe. Other men who distinguished themselves were C. L. Macdonald, R. W . Awdry, E. G. M. Bennett, L. D. Brownlee, E. G. Whately, G. Le Blanc Smith, and the Hon. A. E. S. Mulholland.

LONDON COUNTY C.C. Played at the Crystal Palace on April 28, 29 and 30. L.C.C.C. won by an innings and 51 runs. In the absence of Hayward, and despite the successful reappearance of Abel, the Surrey eleven was not seen to advantage in the first match of the season. The batting was not confident and most of the men with reputations failed, while the bowling left very much to be desired. On the first day’s play there was not much to choose between the, teams for while Surrey had made 230, their opponents had lost Dr. Grace, W. L* Murdoch, Braund and McGahey for 123 runs. The most interesting feature of the cricket was the fine batting of Dr. Grace, who scored the first 50 of the year, in a style which is nothing short of marvellous for a man of his years. He timed the ball beauti­ fully, and made some inimitable strokes. While he was in partnership with McGahey the total was raised from 25 to 102. The familiar and welcome sight of Abel going in first for Surrey was not followed by a dis­ appointment, as many had feared. On the contrary his innings of 22, although it was net marked by all his old confidence, showed plainly enough that he is still a great cricketer. He and Holland put on 44 for the first wicket in half-an-hour, after which little happened that was encouraging to Surrey men. True, Lockwood played one of his careful and useful innings, while Richard­ son made 49 runs in forty minutes, and K. J. Key showed much of his old skill in his 17. But on the whole the batting was disappoint­ ing. After losing two wickets very quickly London County did well enough, McGahey being of great assistance to the doctor. At one time the board showed 125 for two wickets, but two more fell just before stumps were drawn. On the next day rain interfered with the game so much that cricket could only be played for two hours and a half, during which the home team increased their overnightFcore from 123 for four wickets to 307 for six wickets. Poidevin, played fine cricket, while Sewell was seen at his very best as a born hitter. He had made 92 when stumps were drawn, and was still in possession of the wicket. He played brilliant cricket on Satur­ day and was well backed up by J. H. Doug­ las, another Essex man, who helped him to put on 185 runs in a couple of hours for the seventh wicket. Sewell’s admirable innings included two 5’s and twenty-eight 4’s; time three hours. Douglas also played a very fine game. At lunch-time Dr. Grace closed the innings, Surrey being left with 236 to make to save the innings’ defeat. It was now that Abel came to the rescue of his side and showed, as so often before, what a lot of grit he possesses. As long as he and Moulder were together Surrey seemed to have an ex­ cellent chance of saving the game, for both the young player and the veteran held their own easily. Moulder’s 47 was obtained in excellent style and it is to be hoped that the promise which he showed last year will be fulfilled, for he is evidently a sound batsman. Abel was quite himself, and Surrey men were delighted with his play, for if he is only in form this season it will make a vast difference to his county. After Abel and Moulder had put on 67 in about an hour there was an awe-striking breakdown in the batting, and the end came at five o’clock. Hesketh-Prichard bowled exceedingly well in both innings, but Braund has hardly yet found his feet. S u b r b y . First inniogs.
