D e r b y, June2 and 3. Surrey hadby no meansits best eleven , being without Messrs . W. W .Read andShuter (whowere playing for M.C.C. and Groundagainst the Australians ), as well as Mr. K. J. Key. Moreover, a sprained foot obliged M. Readto telegraph for a substitute , while a strained shoulder interfered a good deal with Lohmann's delivery . In the first innings of Surrey , six members of the team subscribed 5 runs between them, out of a total of 74 from the bat. Quite as uneven was the scoring of the other side though they played much better- Chatterton (86), Mr. S. H. Evershed (44), and Hall (43), being responsible for 173 out of 203. Chatterton , who went in before a run was scored , was the eighth m a nout, being unluckily run out whenwithin 14 of his hundred. He played splendid cricket . Surrey, whowere nowplaying an uphill game, madea creditable second total of 263 , thanks to the watchful cricket of Henderson (50 ), Watts (47), Brockwell (46) , and Wood(32). Derbyshire only wanted 128 to win, but Lohmannand Bowleybowled splendidly at the crisis , and Surrey won agood matchby 29 runs . Surrey , 79 and263 ; total , 342.

Both counties missed the services of several prominent players , Surrey being without Mr. Shuter, Read, Henderson, and Wood; Leicestershire , without Messrs . J. A. Turner , J. É. Wright , and Pougher . The first wicket of Leicestershire , who won the toss , put on 95 runs, Warren(62) and Mr. De Trafford (59) playing finely together ; however, the later batsmen failed conspicuously , and the innings closed for 190. Thoughthe third wicket of Surrey fell at 88, Mr. Roller (120), and Lockwood(168), madea prolonged stand , adding no fewer than 214 before they were parted . Both punished the bowlers severely , though the professional gave three andthe amateur two chances ; still , all things considered , it wasa very fine performance . Lockwood, indeed , scored 204 runs in the match for once out. The feature of Leicestershire's second innings was the success of Mr. A. Lorrimer, a gentleman new to county cricket . Meeting Lohmann, Sharpe, Bowley, and Beaumontfor the first time, it was a great performance for him to make109-a brilliant display , with which little fault could be found. Warren (71) helped Mr. Lorrimer to make130 for the second wicket . Surrey wonby 10 wickets . Surrey , 388 and 79 (no wicket ) ; total , 467. Leicestershire , 190 and 273; total , 463. (11) Surreyv.
