Adisappointment to the supporters of the University , who, on a true but fast wicket , could only put together totals of 85 and 154 against an innings of 298 by Surrey . Their fielding , too, was not up to the standard . H. W. Bain- bridge, going in third wicket down in the second innings , made58 not out- a very well -played score . Mr. W. W.

Leicester , July 8 and 9. Thoughnot playing its full strength , Surrey was well represented , and Leicestershire's easy victory was therefore very creditable . The former's first innings of 26 runs wasthe smallest of the season in a county match. Pougher andRylott bowled unchanged throughout the match for Leicestershire , and there was no extra given in either innings of Surrey. The wicket , it may be added, was in very badcondition , and the ball got up very dangerously . Leices- tershire wonby ten wickets . Surrey , 26 and 83 ; total , 109. Leicestershire , 107 and 4 (no wicket ) ; total , 111 . Pougher(Leicestershire ) Rylott " O v e r s. M a i d e n s. R u n s. Wickets.f 46.1 2 4 5 4 1 3 45.1 2 2 5 5 6.1
