Heavyrain on the third afternoon not only brought a run-getting match to a premature close but also in all likelihood deprived Sussex of what would have beena very creditable victory . U pto luncheon time on the third day 1,028 runs had beenmadefor three complete innings , or an average of over thirty -nine runs awicket . Lancashire whowent in first were in altogether four hours and three -quarters for 346. Of 351 from the bat, Sugg who went in first wicket downand carried out his bat contributed 169. Theinnings wasnot without fault but as an exhibition of punishing cricket it was worthy of all praise . It was a fine performance for Sussexgoing in as they did against the big score of 346 to head it by100 runs . Herc toothehonours were shared by two batsmen. Bean (186) and Mr. Murdoch (96) in- deedmadevery light of the Lancashire bowling . They put on 226 for the second wicket and Bean's score only contained one chance and that a hard one early in the innings . W h e nLancashire went in a second time Mr. McLaren and AWard put on 86 before they were parted , but rain during the change and the last seven wickets only added 54 runs . withSussex wanting 137 to win and all their wickets in 236, total 582 ; Sussex 446. interval worked a great Rainstopped the game hand, Lancashire 346 and Overs.

The score then was 164, with only four batsmen out, but the later batsmendid little , excepting only Messrs . Crosfield and Kemble, and the last six wickets only added eleven runs a piece . Surrey's batting offered a complete contrast . Four of the best wickets were downfor 31, and it was only the brilliant play of Mr. W. W. Read, who found a useful partner towards the finish in
