Oval, June 22 and 23. 1 0 8 Though Surrey had not its full strength the bowling of Beaumontand Lohmannproved so effective that the gamewas over early on the second after- noon. The wicket kicked after the rain , particularly in Oxford's second innings , or the result would not have been so decisive . With the exception , though, of Messrs . Key(61) and Hildyard (62 not out), whocontributed 123 to their first total of 177 , the batting of the University was hardly up to the best standard . Nineof the Surrey eleven got double figures , though Maurice Readwas again well in advance of the others with a well-got score of 97. Surrey wonby an innings and 17 runs . Surrey , 295.

A match productive of very high scoring , 1,041 runs being totalled for thirty wickets . Surrey wonthe toss and were not got out till after luncheon on the second day. Tenof the eleven got double figures , though the heaviest part ofthe workwasdone by Messrs . W .W .Read(163) andRoller (204). The latter w e n tin fourth wicketd o w nat 167 a n dwas ninth out at 585; he had m a d e 204 of 418 runs while in and without a chance. In addition , too, in the first innings of Sussex he took four wickets-three with successi ve balls for 28runs. T h echief features in the cricket of the Sussex eleven were the two scores of Mr. N e w h a m(22 and 62) and the stand , just at the tinish of the match, by H. andJ. Phillips , who added 107 by capital cricket . The Surrey score is the highest ever madein a match between two, as they are generally considered or called , first -class counties . Neither Messrs . F. M. Lucas nor Whitfeld were able to play for Sussex. Surrey wonby an innings and 221 runs . Surrey, 631 . Sussex, 168 and242 ; total , 410. (9) Surreyv. H a n t s. Southampton , July 6, 7, and 8. TheHampshire eleven were unfortunate enough to lose the toss , and to havein consequence all the worst of a bad wicket. It did not play particularly well at the outset , but still Surrey, thanks chiefly to Mr. Bowden(125), Abel (72), and Mr. Kead (50), were able to make a big score of 390. Withthe exception of Mr. Lacey none of the Hampshire batsmen could do anything with the bowling of Beaumontand Lohmann, andthe latter's figures in parti- cular were remarkable .
