tw o li \e sa t tho bands of the wicket-keeper from Barratl’s bowling. His 101 -was a dasliing score, but it contained three chances, and was not one of his best performances. Jupp and Richard Humphrey began for Surrey in quit© the old form, and 85 runs were registered for the first wicket. Mr. Read and Pooley too both played well, hut the last six wickets only added 33 runs, and tho innings closed for 11)2. The second venture was solely noteworthy on account of the batting of Mr. Read and .Tupp. The former this time was chief scorer with 74, and with Jupp ( 10 ) the pair made 111 out of 158 runs from the bat. Sussex got the 47 runs left them to win without difficulty, and won by eight wickets. Sussex, 311 and 47 (two wickets) ; total, 358. Surrey, i02 and 165; total, 357. Overs. Maidens. Runs. lVicketr. Mr. .4. Smith (1st intis, of Surrey)... 29.2 12 17 7 (i) Surrey »*. Yorkshire. Oval, Aug. 21, 22, and 23. An exciting match at the close, but one completely spoiled, as far as eiieket was concerned, by tho weather. Yorkshire won the toss, and chose to go in on a queer wicket, and as a consequence were all dismissed bv Southerton and Rarratt for 68 . Surrey would have made a poorer show had it not been for Mr. Read. Indeed, the amateur never played a bettor innings than on this occasion, when he carried his bat for 60 or a treacherous wicket, and against, such bowling as that of Yorkshire. The feature of the match though was the splendid second innings of 78 by Lockwood for York­ shire as steady and sound a display of batting as was seen during the season. In a bad lighten a bad wicket Surrey wont in to obtain 102 runs or lose. They had to be content with tho latter alternative, as Emmett and Hill were in their deadliest form, and the Yorkshire fielding was so close that the ball could not be got nwnv. Ultimatelr Yorkshire won an exciting f * * match by 21 runs . Yorkshire, 68 and 151 ; total. 219. Surrey, 118 and 77; total, 195. The bowling of Hill and Emmett in the second innings of Surrey deserves notice. Emmett ..........................
