Leicesteshire . Leicester , M a y17and18. Surrey, with only a moderate eleven , made a sorry showwith the bat, and the laxity of some of the newplayers in the field enabled Leicestershire to claim a very creditable victory . In the two innings the last five batsmen of Surrey were credited with an aggregate of only 35 runs, and generally the batting was below the county's usual standard . Mr. C. Marriott made46each time for Leicestershire , andto his batting and the bowling of Parnhamand Rylott their success was mainly due. Leicestershire w o nby seven runs.
