Sussex hadthe strongest eleven it placed into the field during the season , and further had all the best of the wicket in going in first . Surrey, on the other hand, was not so well represented as it could have been, but Sussex madesuch a poor show against the slow bowling of Barratt that the result was never in doubt. Mr. Bettesworth (22 and 53 not out), whose cricket was without a fault in either innings , was the only batsmanw h o played the left hander with any confidence , and the display of the eleven musthave sadly disappointed the hopes of the Sussex executive . Withthe exception of Mr. W. W. Read's 62 there was nothing brilliant in the Surrey batting , but they had a useful lead of 98 on the first hands, and this enabled themto pull through with eight wickets to spare . In the second innings of Sussex Mr. Carmichael madehis débût as a wicket-keeper, and with con- siderable effect , stumping three batsmenand catching two.

Surrey of late years has produced strange surprises , but even its history has rarely re- corded such a woeful collapse as that which markedthe close of this match. Thanksto Read(62) and Mr. Roller (52), the latter of w h o mhit Bates as he wasnot often hit during the season , Surrey opened well with a very re- spectable total of 224, but Emmettand E. Lockwoodeffectually broke their bowling, and the batting of these two Yorkshiremen on the first night was as good as any display witnessed at the Oval in 1881. Continuous rain pre- vented the delivery of a ball on the second day, and whenthe game began on the third morningthe only solution that seemed possible was a draw. Surrey begantheir second innings in a minority of 32 runs with only two hours and three quarters for play, but the wicket was just drying after the heavy rain , and the ball soon began to take every kind of twist and jump. W h e nRead and Mr. Lindsay were together only one wicket was downfor 55, but here Emmett began an extraordinary series of successes , and in a little over an hour Surrey were all out for 66, nine wickets falling for 11 rans . Yorkshire won an extraordinary match with twenty minutes left and
