Itwasa curiously unfamiliar team that did duty for Surrey in this match, Lockwood, Sharpe, andAbel being the only regular members present . Hamp- shire were in most of the first day for 202, of which Messrs . Bencraft (69) and Lacey(46) were responsible for more than one-half . The Surrey batting was chiefly remarkable for the good cricket of Ayres, whocarried his bat through theinnings for 53. Theyoung professional , whose first appearance in county cricket this was, played all the bowling with confidence , and scored 65 runs in the match without being once out . Rain interfered considerably with the play , andHampshire, who led by 43 on the completion of the first hands, declared their second innings closed at 63 for four wickets . Surrey lost Brockwell for 24 runs, and in that condition the gamehadto be left , the visitors being 82 behind with nine wickets in hand. Hampshire , 202 and 63 ; total 265.

This pair added 108 for the second wicket, the hitting of Lohmannespecially being clean and hard. Essex got within two runs of their opponents ' total , but in the second " hands " the latter , thanks to M. Read(60), Mr. Key(54 not out), and Brockwell (38), amassed the good total of 277.
