S U R R E Y . Played at Portsm outh on July 20, 21 and 22. Surrey won by nine wickets. Except that A. J . L. H ill was away, Hamp­ shire had their full strength in the field and Surrey also were very well represented. During the 320 minutes that play was in progress on Monday the visitors scored 485 for seven wickets, seven of the players exceeding the half-century. During the stand by Hayward and Hobbs, which realised 105 in an hour and three-quarters for the first wicket, the bowling required care­ ful watching, but afterwards the wicket im­ proved and runs were made freely. Hayward batted two hours and 20 minutes for his steady 53, hitting only one 4, but playing a very useful game for his side. Hayes made some excellent drives and hit eight 4’s during the 45 minutes he was in, but the fastest scoring of the day was seen during the partnership of Crawford and Marshal, wnioh realised 121 for the fourth wicket in 55 minutes. The latter made his 54 in 70 minutes, but Crawford reaohed his half- century in 40 minutes and, in all, scored 124 out of 187 in 85 i^inutes without the shadow of a chanoe: he hit four 6’s (all huge drives off Llewellyn) and sixteen 4’s and made his runs all round the wicket, excelling in driving and cutting. He was fifth out, at 371. Spring con­ tinued the good work and was responsible for 53 of the 91 added for the sixth wicket with Holland in 50 minutes. Both players were fortunate, seeing that each was missed bv White, the latter when 37 and Spring when 50. Leveson-Gower made only a couple, but at the end of the day only seven wickets were down for 485, Holland being not out 64. On the second morning the last three wickets went down for 8 runs before Newman, the innings closing for 493. Upon Johnston and Bowell opening the Hampshire innings runs came freely, so that at 34 Crawford went on for Knox. The change proved 'very successful, for both batsmen had been sent back by the time 44 had been made. White and Llewellyn added 34 in 40 minutes, and Sprot quickly hit up 19 out of 30. White made eight 4’s in his 46 and made several good hits off K n o x: he was fifth out, at 140. Mead and Bignall, in a bright partnership, put on 56 in under an hour, and the former and Stone 54 in 40 minutes. Mead batted 125 minutes for his excellent 54 and was eighth out, at 257. The last two wickets added but 17, and Hants, were called upon to follow-on 219 behind. In their second innings Johnston and Bowell made 44 without loss in half an hour. O 11 the third morning the former was bowled at 60, but Bowell played a very steady and valuable game, and batted 135 minutes ere reaching 50. Mead also showed fine defence, but at lunch time six wickets were down for 153. Neither Bignell, Remnant, nor Badcock did much, but Newman remained until the innings defeat had been avoided. Surrey, however, were set only 19 to win and that number they made for the loss of Lees’ wicket. Score and analysis:— S u r r e y . H. D. G.

E S S E X v . N O T T IN G H A M S H IR E . Played at Leyton on July 20, 21 and 22. Notts won by eight wickets. The start was delayed for half-an-hour on Monday by a shower, and play during the day took place in dull and threatening weather. The wicket was soft, the light often poor, and the bowling always good, so the fact that only 228 runs were made for nine wickets in five hours can scarcely be wondered at. Essex lost Fane (at slip) and Douglas (at the wicket) for 24, but Perrin and McGahey pulled the game round by adding 100 for the third wicket in 95 minutes. The latter, who made some powerful drives, played the best cricket of the day and hit a ball from Hallam over the wing of the pavilion into the road for 6 : he also made six 4’s. Perrin and Gillingham put on 66 in 95 minutes and then the former was lbw. after batting 215 minutes for 88 in which were seven 4’s .: although he made many good strokes, he was not seen at his best. Gillingham stayed 110 minutes for 26, and at the end of the day Mead made a few good hits. On Tuesday the innings closed for 230, Mead being caught and bowled in the second over. Hallam and Wass were unsuited by the soft wicket, and tHe bowl­ ing honours were carried off by Iremonger, whose analysis will bear perusal. When Notts went in the bowling was shared by Read, who bowls medium-paced right-hand, and Mead. With only 7 scored the former finely caught Iremonger off a very hot return, and Hardstaff, when he had made 15, was caught at the wicket. Gunn and Payton put on 53 together in an hour, the former then being caught and bowled for a stylish 48 made out of 89 in 95 minutes. After the interval the last six wickets went down for 47 runs, Mead bowling Oates and Hallam with consecutive balls. Payton, who reached 50 in two hours, carried out his bat for a valuable 59. Mead and Read carried off the bowling honours, and the latter performed better than his analysis would suggest. With a lead of 75, Essex lost Douglas and Perrin very quickly, but Fane, showing good form, scored 35 out of 64 in 70 minutes. McGahey batted an hour for 23, and Gillingham took 70 minutes to make 22 not out, but Meston and Freeman failed to reach double figures. At the end of the day six wickets were down for 111. Yesterday the remaining four wickets went down in 45 minutes for 38 runs, leaving Notts. 225 to win. Iremonger again bowled well and made his record for the match, nine wickets for 74 runs. George Gunn and Jam es commenced the task. Scoring was slow at the start, but 50 went up with­ out loss at the end of 65 minutes. At 61 James was lbw, and at SI Hardstaff was bowled. Payton then joined Gunn and, despite many bowling changes, the score mounted steadily. The pair played a great game for their side and made all the remaining runs without being parted, adding 144. Payton carried out his bat for 91 and Gunn for 76. Score and analysis:— E s s e x . J . W. H. T. Douglas, c Oates, b Wass ...............12 b Hallam ... 13 F. L .
