Turner, whohad played such fine cricket for Leicestershire in the previous match, was unable to take part in the return , and the side suffered greatly by his absence . Surrey, losing the toss , had to take the field first , but their outing only lasted an hour and fifty minutes , and the stand of Messrs . Marriott and D e Trafford , who put on 42 for the fourth wicket-the only feature of Leicestershire's first innings . Abel (32) and Mr. Shuter (54) scored 83 in the first hour for Surrey, and all the first six batsmen got double figures , Mr. W .W. Read's 50 being the highest of the other contributors . Leicestershire , wanting 46 to save the innings , madea very poor show against the bowling of Beaumontand Lohmann, andthe two brothers Warrenwere accountable for 32 of a total of 54. Of the Leicestershire wickets not one was bowled, nineteen falling to catches and the other to a run out. B e a u m o n took nine wickets for 57, Lohmanneight for 67 runs. Surrey w o nbyan innings and 92 runs . Surrey , 263; Leicestershire , 117 and 54 ; total , 171 . (13) Surreyv. Essex. Leyton, August12 and 13. Messrs . Shuter and Key, as well as W o o dand Beaumont, were absent from the Surrey eleven , and the result was disastrous from the stand -point of that county. The wicket was, perhaps , not of the best , but the Essex eleven , as the gamewent, were seen to better advantage at every point , andtheir victory- aneasy one, with 135 runs to spare-was the result of very creditable all -round cricket . Essex going in first , had a lead of ten runs on the first hands , but as their total was only 110 there was no room for high scores , and the best contri- bution was 31 , a tie between Messrs . A. P. Lucas and R. C. Gosling for Essex . Thelatter again showed excellent cricket whenhe went in a second time, and his 57 was the highest , as it was the soundest , display in the match . Surrey's batting in the second innings was quite unworthy of the reputation of some of theteam. Six of the best batsmenwereout for 23, andina nhourandtwenty minutes they were all out for 57. Pickett's fast bowling wasthe great feature of the game, and the victory of Essex was due mainly to him. H e was un- changed throughout both innings of Surrey , andtook twelve wickets for 78 runs . Essexwonby 135 runs . Essex, 110 and 182 ; total , 292. Surrey , 100 and 57 ; total , 157. Bowley(1st inns . Essex) O v e r s. 2 3 M a i d e n s. 1 1 R u n s. 3 2 W i c k e t s. 7 (14) Surrey v.

L. Morgan both appeared in the eleven for the first time . Hampshire , who wentin first , madea good start each time, thanks to Mr. F. E. Lacey, whowas the highest scorer in each innings , with 59 and 52. In the first , 100 was up with
