Surrey .— (See S u r r e y R e n ew . ) Matches played, 10—'won 2, lost 6, drawn 2. Lord Harris made 97 more runs than in 1882, but his average is only a shade better. Messrs. C. Wilson, W. H. Patterson, and E. F. S. Tylecote and George Heame a ll show a falling-off. The Rev. R. T. Thornton’s figures are very good, but it w ill be noticed he was three times not out. Except for the successful debu t o f Mr. Christopherson, a fast bowler from Uppingham School, the bow ling does not call for comment. BATTING AVERAGES. Most in !Most in Times Matches. Inns.
