GASSON, Govern­ m ent Contractor, Rye, SURREY y. LANCASHIRE. Played at Aigburth on July 6, 7 and 8. Surrey won by ten wickets. In this match, which attracted an unusual amount of interest, Lancashire were defeated for the first time this season. They were not only defeated, but outplayed from first to last. Possibly if A. C. Mac­ laren had been able to play for them they might have made a better fight, but of late he has been altogether out of form. There had been some rain before the match and the wicket was a little soft on the top in the earlier part of the first day. When Lan­ cashire won the toss they had no hesitation in taking first innings. They lost Cuttell with the total at 5, but Tyldesley and Spooner then took the score to 58 before the former was taken in the slips for 31, after batting an hour and five minutes. Neither he nor his partner had ever been able to obtain any command over the bowling, every run having to be fought for. Before lunch Poidevin was out. Immediately afterwards Spooner was splendidly caught in the slips by Davis for 47, an innings which, owing to the excellence of the bowling and his inability to get the ball away, had taken him two hours to compile. With the total at 137 Garnett, who also had been compelled to play a quiet game, was caught at mid-off for 36; he had been batting for an hour and a-quarter. Thus five wickets were down, and the Surrey bowlers, Knox and Lees, were holding the upper hand Sharp played with great pluck, but no one else could resist the bowling for long, and the innings closed for 187, a total which had been made in three hours and a-half, an unusually long time for Lancashire. Lees bowled splendidly all through the innings, keeping a wonderful length, while Knox made the best use of the wicket, and was, moreover, unfortunate in having many runs made off him by accidental strokes. The question was whether Lancashire, with such bowlers as Kermode and Brearley, could keep the Surrey men equally quiet, but before stumps were drawn Surrey made 92 at the rate of a run a minute, and lost but one wicket. Hayward played in a masterly manner, and was not out 44. Hobbs made a most useful 25 by good cricket, and Hayes was not out 18. On Friday Surrey again had much the best of the game, showing superiority both in batting and bowling. Hayward carried hi's total to 68, and was then bowled by Cuttell; lie had batted for two hours and twenty minutes without a serious mistake. Hayes could not get the ball away in his usual manner, but he could keep up his wicket, and for two hours and a^quarter he defied the bowlers. Baker was at the wickets for about the samejtime, always batting with great skill and care, while Davis played a brilliant innings, his 45 being made in an hour and five minutes. At one time the board showed 271 for four, and then four wickets fell for 20. But a plucky innings by Lord Dalmeny was of the greatest use to his side, and in the end Surrey had a lead of 153. Lancashire met with a series of misfortunes in their second innings. With the total at 7 Spooner was bowled and Cuttell run out; at 17 Poidevin was caught in the slips, and at 42 Tyldesley fell to a catch at the wicket. Thus four wickets were down, and 111 runs were still required to save the inning’s defeat. At this stage of the game Garnett and Sharp came together, and by resolute cricket carried the score to 91 before stumps were drawn, Lancashire then being 60 runs behind with six wickets in hand. Garnett was not out 42 and Sharp not out 23. On Saturday morning these two men again made a sturdy resistance to the bowling, but when their partnership had produced 63 Garnett was bowled by Knox for 47, which he had made in an hour and a-half. He and Sharp had made a most plucky effort to put a better appear­ ance on the game, and when they were separated the chances of Lancashire were almost gone, for although Sharp still continued to play with courage and determination, no one else could withstand the attack of Knox, who was in splendid form with the ball. The inning’s defeat was saved, but Surrey had only to make 6 to win. Surrey owed their victory to the ability of their bowlers to make the utmost use of the wicket, to the soundness of their batting, and to their excellent fielding. ^ L ancashire , t, TT First innings.

Cambridge won by 40 runs. This year’ s match between the two Uni­ versities was one of the most interesting, as well as remarkable, of the whole series. It is true that neither team had done very much during the term to attract the attention of cricketers, but while there were many failures at Lord’s, there were some most unexpected successes. The game was full of surprises, not the least of which was the victory of Cambridge after they had been in an apparently hopeless position. Ten men, Colbeck, Morcom, Raphael, Wright, Mc­ Donell, Udal, Napier, Keigwin, Young, and Evans, will be able to look back on the match with feelings of pleasure, tempered in the case of Evans by his want of success with the bat. But the heroes of the match were Colbeck, Raphael, Wright, McDonell, and Morcom. Cambridge won the toss, but reaped little benefit from this, for the wicket was perhaps better during the first innings of Oxford than at any other period during the match. It always helped the bowlers a little, and towards the end of the game had some fire in it. There was nothing at all remark­ able about the batting of Cambridge in the first innings. Young played a nice game for 51, Keigwin’s 50 was a most useful defensive innings, and Payne made 36 at an opportune time. But all through the innings, until the last man went in, the side was acting on the defensive, and Napier alone showed that the bowling could be hit. Udal bowled with great effect from the Nursery end, at times making the ball bump considerably. For some time the Oxford batting was equally respectable, and with no more dash about it, but when Wright joined Raphael the game began to wake up considerably. No ’Varsity man ever need despair of making nearly a hundred after seeing the commencement of Wright’s innings, for it was an object lesson of the way in which a man may be almost out dozens of times and yet survive to be a hero. For over after over Wright was apparently at the mercy of the bowlers. He hit boldly at rising balls to the off and missed them by a hair’s breadth; he was too late for yorkers, which just missed the wicket; he changed his mind at the last moment, and in what seemed a remarkable way just saved his wicket, and he hit balls just out of the reach of the fieldsmen. He aid not seem to be in the least nervous, but looked as if he
