Assistant Secretary , W .W .R e a d. Despite all the efforts of the executive , there was very little sign of any permanentimprovementin the condition of Surrey cricket during the past season . The Oval was, during the most of the latter part of April and first weeks of M a y, devoted to a carefully arranged system of colts ' test practice , butit produced apparently very few, if any, youngsters likely to be of service to theCountyin the immediate future . In one respect there wassomeground for hope, in that the committee showed a determination to give young players the preference over those whohad seen their best day, and in some cases the Countyteam, owing to the infusion of youth and activity , showed a smartness in the field which certainly had been wanting for some years past. Thepresence of Mr. W. W. Readin all the matches, instead of only a few of the later fixtures as heretofore , was a great benefit to the eleven, and the re-appearance of Jones, whohad been left out of the eleven for two years , gave them a bowler who is likely , with care , to be of considerable service. T h edefection of Mr. A. P. Lucasin several of the later matches was difficult of explanation in the face of his acceptance of the Captaincy ,
