Neither Richardson nor Lohmannwere playing for Surrey, and on a bad wicket Oxford, who went in first , had a shade the best of the luck. The highest of the four innings was Surrey's second of 185, the lowest its first of 96. Curiously enough Mr. J. C. Hartley , Oxford's slow bowler , was the chief run-getter , with two useful scores of 40 and 29. Mr. Key, the captain , did best for Surrey . His 37 not out and 39 represented the highest individual aggregate for the match. Oxford won by 23 runs. Oxford, 162 and 142; total , 304. Surrey, 96 and 185 ; total , 281.
