Oval, August 12, 13, 14, 1880 Amatch set apart for the benefit of James Street , though not a success , owing to the collapse of the Surrey eleven on the third morning . York- shire went in first on a splendid wicket , and madethe highest total (398) of the year in a county match . Ulyett's 141 , made without a chance , fairly broke the Surrey bowling, and every one of the ten batsmenwho were out got double figures . Humphrey (43) and Read (39) enabled Surrey to reach a fair total of 176; but in their succeeding attempt Allen Hill's fast bowling appeared to demoralise them completely ; and Pooley (53), who played better cricket for his runsthan he has shownfor manya year, alone m a d eany stand. Yorkshire w o nby an innings and 123 runs. Hill took three wickets in his last over. Yorkshire, 398. Surrey , 176 and 99; total , 275. Hill (2nd innings , Surrey) Overs. Maidens. Runs.
