James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1891

T H ECOUNTIESIN 1890. 9 1 the toss and went in, Mold maintained such a pace , on a soft wicket , that none of the batsmen except Ulyett (45) could makeany stay , and the latter scored just half the Yorkshire aggregate . The Lancastrians , on the other hand , compiled the respectable total of 175 , Baker (51 ), Mr. A. T. Kemble (35), and Frank Sugg (30) doing most of the run-getting . Onthe third morning the ground was entirely in favour of the bowlers . The Yorkshiremen , too , wanted 85 runs to avert the innings defeat , but this they failed to do, and were beaten by an innings and 28 runs. Ulyett and Hall scored 36 out of 54 from the bat.

Indeed , only Jesse Hide (25), who alone of the Sussex batsmen got double figures twice , played Mold and Watson withconfidence . Thefeature of Lancashire's batting was the success of Mr. A. C. McLaren , the Harrow captain , who gave a remarkably fine display of hitting . Going in second wicket down, the young Harrovian was sixth out, having con- tributed 108 out of 189 got during his stay , without a chance . Whenit is remembered that this was Mr. McLaren's absolutely first appearance in county cricket , his performance is of the greater merit . He and Briggs (54) were responsible for 162 out of 240 from the bat by Lancashire . Apraiseworthy score of 39 by Mr. C. A. Smith was the only noteworthy feature of the second innings of Sussex .

Streatfeild , of Cambridge University , made a most successful first appearance for Surrey , who, moreover , were fortunate in winning the toss on a hard wicket . They, in fact , remained in during the greater part of the first day, Abel (146), M. Read(77), and Lohmann(44) contributing as manyas 267 out of 312 from the bat. Readhelped Abel to add 184 for the fourth wicket , and the latter was seen to very great advantage . He gave more that one difficult chance during the four hours that he was in, but nevertheless his performance was one of great merit. Continuous rain prevented any play on the second day, and on the third , with the wicket muchin favour of the bowlers , it was a question whether Lancashire could be got out twice . So well did Lohmannand Mr. Streatfeild perform, though, that this was effected , the only time whenthere wasreal cause for anxiety being while A. Ward(12 and 41) and Barlow(4 and not out 29) were together in the second innings . Surrey wonby an innings and 76runs. This is the first time that Surrey has defeated Lancashire on the Oval since 1885. Surrey , 317. Lancashire , 110 and 131 ; total , 241 . Mr. E. C. Streatfeild (Surrey ) L o h m a n n ( ) O v e r s.
