The tail of the Lancashire eleven contributed mainly to the long total of 332, including 30 " extras ," Watson making74 and Briggs 55. Noneof the Derbyshire batsmen could makeany stand against Nash, Barlow , and Crossland except Mr. R. P. Smith , and in his second innings he scored 33 out of 35 madewhile he was in.

Surrey had an advantage of 49 runs on the first innings , but its eleven was by no means its best , and its weak fielding helped materially to improve the Derbyshire score whenthey went in a second time. Mr. W . W. Read's 55 not out for Surrey was the highest contribution of the match. In Surrey's second innings seven of the eleven together made twelve runs , and the last five failed to score .
