TheAustralians found Jones' bowling very difficult ; and, indeed , had Surrey's fielding been even moderately good, they might possibly have won. H a dJones at short slip taken one of the manychances he allowed to escape , the Australians would never have been able to save the follow on.

Cambridge had its strongest eleven , but Surrey was without its best bowler Jones, and this madeits victory more surprising . The wicket played well throughout ; but the scoring wasbyno meanshigh on either side . Surrey were lucky to get the three brothers Studd out twice for an aggregate of only 25 runs, andthis proved of great assistance to them, though it was chiefly the good field- ing of the eleven generally that conduced to their success . Surrey wonby seven wickets . Surrey, 159 and 98 (three wickets ) ; total , 257. Cambridge, 145and110; total, 255. (3) Surrey v. Oxford University. Oval, June 19 and 20. The first appearance of the Oxford Eleven at the Oval since 1870. The wicket was dead from recent rains , and the scoring on both sides was muchbelow the average . Again smart fielding stood Surrey in good stead and their success was especially noteworthy with Mr. Lucas and Jones both absent . Barratt's bowling puzzled the Oxonians considerably , and Indeed chiefly contributed to their defeat . Mr. C. E. Horner (fast round arm), an old Oxonian, madehis debut for Surrey . H e took five Oxford wickets in the first innings for 26 runs . Surrey wonby16 runs. Surrey, 82 and 144 ; total , 226. Oxford, 78 and 132 ; total , 210. Barratt (Surrey)'. O v e r s. M a i d e n s .

In the second innings . the second innings of Surrey won by nine Sussex, 98, and 179 ; Peate was unable to play for Yorkshire , and Bates broke down after a few overs . Withoutthe two best bowlers of Yorkshire , Surrey , though not in its full. strength , might have had a chance .
