Oxford University. At Eastbourne, June 26, 27, and 28. On a perfect wicket at the Saffrons the scratch side made the Oxford bowling look rather simple, though Melle again did effective work. Leveson-Gower showed that he has lost little, if any, of his old form ; his 75 in 105 minutes was quite first-class. He cut square with great force and accuracy, and had ten 4’s. Marriott made 50 in as many minutes, and here again the old-time grace and skill were evident. J. P. Wilson helped Leveson-Gower to add 73 for the fifth wicket, and Pegler carted them to the tune of 56 in an hour. At call of time Oxford had lost 3 for 69, Boswell, who had gone in first, still undefeated. He batted in all n o minutes for his 41 ; but another Etonian, the freshman, D. G. W igan, quite outshone him, making a capital 73* (nine 4’s) in 105 minutes. When he qualifies, if lie does qualify, for Sussex, Garrett should be of great use to the county, provided he has time to play. The best stand of the scratch team ’s second innings was, as in the first, made by the captain and Wilson, 79 for the fifth wicket. Napier and Fyffe hit up 42 for the last. Boswell, last put on, was by long odds the most suc­ cessful bowler. Requiring 361 to win, Oxford had 11 up for one wicket (that of Havelock Davies) before call of time. They were easily beaten— by 206 runs-—on Saturday, only Boswell, who hit a 6 and ten 4’s, and Wilkinson, who helped him in a stand of 80 for the seventh wicket, doing anything. Garrett again bowled really well. First Innings. M r . H. D. G . L ev e so n -G o w e r ’ s XI. Second Innings, (.'apt. W. G. M. Sarel, c Forrester, b Melle ... 33 lbw. b Melle L. H. W.

Umpires : F. Roberts and F. Senior. R. 52 39 39 3 32 9 4 70 4 13 6 W. W. Surrey v. Lancashire. At Kennington Oval, June 26, 27, and 28. The 5,000 or so spectators on Thursday had perhaps the biggest treat of the season to date. Who would ask for anything better than John Tyldesley at the top of his form? And he was at the top of his form. In the course of 265 minutes he made only one faulty stroke, and that not a chance; he hit twenty-eight 4's ; he scored 2x0 ru n s; he did not use his pads to protect his w ickets; he cut and drove as did the great ones of old. He had no occasion to flick balls to leg off his eyebrows, because they would not get u p ; in fact, the Surrey bowlers had a thankless task all day. Hornby and the England man added 176 in 135 minutes; Ernest Tyldesley helped his brother to put on 177 in 125 m inuH s; and at the ■close the total was 451 for 6. Hitch and Hayes each made a particularly good catch. General expectation favoured an early closure on Friday; but Lancashire went on to the end, and did not hurry much either, the 107 added taking 100 minutes. The younger Tyldesley batted in all about 3 hours for his n o , a really fine innings, containing thirteen 4 ’s. Boddington showed form but not too much enterprise, taking n o minutes to make 58. He and Dean added 64 for the last wicket. Hayward was the leading figure of the day; the rest were mere supers on the stage. Tom of Ten Thousand made his hundredth first-class century. It may not have been quite one of his very best; but it was good enough. At 16 he was cut over by a fast ball from White­ head, and he had a good many hard knocks besides; but he made well over half the 197 for 4 recorded to Surrey at the end of the day, and he gave no chance. Hayes, quite deserting his usual gam e— and in doing so he w as justified by circumstances—batted no end of a time for 13; as long as 75 minutes, they say-—did he ever do likewise before? On Saturday there never seemed much chance of a finish. Harrison batted altogether 150 minutes for his 39; C. T . A. Wilkinson and Sandham each had a 75 minutes’ stay. When the home side followed on Bird and Hobbs made 48 for the first w icket; Hobbs scored 61 in 90 minutes, and passed his thousand for the season; Goatly rattled up 64 in 80 minutes (nine 4’s ); and Wilkinson batted nearly an hour. The fact that spectators to the number of about 7,000—w'ho could not possibly have hoped to see their side win, and could scarcely have expected anything intensely exciting— were present is a strong argument for making sure of a Saturday gate when possible. It also tends to prove— if any proof were needed— that the gam e has not wholly lost its appeal to the crowd.
