(1) Single v. Married. M a y2 3 a n d2 4. Amatchfor the benefit of A. Clayton , whodid good service for Yorkshire in his time, and has been a memberof the ground staff at Lord's since 1872 . Unfortunately the sides were hardly representative , as W. G. Grace was unable to help the Married, while several leading cricketers were away from the other side . As the elevens were the gamewas thought to be a good thing for the Married . The general expectation was, however, not fulfilled , as the Married, even with the advantage of first innings , were outplayed on most points . Abel and Chatterton put on 89 for the first wicket of the Married , but after that Lohmannand J. T. Hearne bowled with great success , and it was only a useful stand by A. N. Hornbyand Attewell , whoadded 60 while together , that realised a respectable score of 230. Thefirst innings of the Single wasmostly a triumph for the Surrey men. A. E. Stoddart made42, but the bulk of the balance was contributed by Read (61 ), Lohmann(58), and Henderson (50 not out), whowere responsible for 169 of 285 from the bat. The Single , with 119 to win, madea bad start , losing Shrewsbury, Read, andG. K e m pfor nine runs. Stoddart , however, forced the gameon a wornwicket to some tune , andhis 53, withuseful scores of 30 by J. A. Dixon and 25 not out byO. Redgate , gave the Single the victory by five wickets . The last match between Married and Single wasat Lord's , for Willsher's benefit , in 1871. Single , 296 and 119 (five wickets ) ; total , 415. Married , 230 and 184 ; total , 414. (2) M i d d l e s e xv. S u s s e x. M a y30 and 31 . Theopening of the Middlesex season , and a successful one, as the result proved. W. N e w h a m, the Sussex captain , was unable to play, and his absence weakenedthe side materially . Still their cricket all round was of a very dis- appointing character , andthe badfielding of Middlesex wasmainly responsible for the matchlasting even as long as it did. I nthefirst innings of Sussex, Bean, whomade30, was missed four times ; Guttridge , whocarried out his bat for 47, had two lives . Evenwith this luck , however, Sussex only managedto
