B ya singular coincidence , this matcheclipsed , in the matter of run-getting , the same match played in 1890 , when, as will be well remembered , the aggregate of 1,339 runs established a record for Great Britain . Yet, curiously enough, though the scoring ruled so high , not one of the four innings reached 400 , only one individual innings of three figures was recorded , and the game was so stubbornly contested that the result was in doubt until the last few minutes. For Sussex , Mr. G. Brann (88 not out and 161 ), Mr. N e w h a m(95 and 51), and Mr. W. H. Andrews (46 and 56) got the most runs the first -namedthus scoring 249 for once out. O n the opposite side , Messrs . E. C. Streatfeild (98 and 35), A. J. L. Hill (75 and 61), R. N. Douglas (61 and 26), and S. M. J. Woods (12 and62) did the best performances . Mr. Streatfeild actually compiled his 98 out of 122 while in . Altogether , forty wickets produced the extraordinary aggregate of 1,402 runs , or within nine of the number scored in Victoria v.
