Mr. Reeves, who ran Miss Fanny, claimed Mr. Fitzgerald's bone
for 40 soya, the entered selling price: but that gentleman re- I
fused to give him up, although he must have known that his
hone was liable to be claimed. High words ensued between the

gained his point, and, obtaining a bridle from another hone, ,

CRICKET.

SCRIIIT V.

—This,
.the tint bona_ fide county

match of the enees, and the emend otamelon upon which the
Caunty PaLiebe has mppeared on the Surrey ground, commenced
yesterday at Kenn .in the presence of six or seven
hundred spectators. The published lists tociaded the names of
A. Iddison and Reynolds, hut neither put in an appearance, sad
Lancashire had to entelltute two additional colts. The morn.
lug was everything that the most ardent cricketer could desire,
the wickets lu tine rue getthesorder, and all the surroundings
unexceptionable. Lancsaldre won the toes. and at once deter-
mined to act on the defensive—sending to the wickets
C. Coward—a young and steady player of conaiden
able note—and Ricketts. one of the tour colts In-
cluded hi the eleven. The Surrey bowling was opened by
Whale and Griffith, the latter (slows) at the pavilion end.
Coward soon gave the Surrey field a taste of his quality, and in
about as many minutssput on 20 rune while his partner made
5 be cat Whale for 4 twice, and indeed hit freely end well an
round. The slows did not " pay," so Griffith had recourse to
fast bowling, and the second over preyed fatal to C. Coward,who
was cleverly caught at the wicket by Pooley for 21 (1 for 31).
Upon Mr. E. B. Rowley Joining Ricketts a flee display of hitting
to all parts of the ground, except to leg, took place. All sorts of
changes in the bowling were tried : Mist, Whale gave
way to Mortloc.ke slows with the score at el at 82
Whale went on again, then Sewell for Griffith; bat both
continued to administer severe mullahment, and the
appearance of 100 on the telegraph was hailed with
loud app/anse. At this Juncture, and just when Surrey'
wanted a wicket sadly, the Lancashire lad gave a chance at
slip, which Stephenson let down—lots score then being 43. At'
11l Humphrey tried an over. Mr. Rowley drove Whale forward
for 6, and Ricketts made a well-timed off drive for 4. Indeed the
laid scoring had gut the Surrey bowllug Into a complete knot.
Again awl again did Griffith, Sewell, and Whale try their hands,
but, strange en ugh, the simple expedient of changing ends was
not resorted to. The score kept rising—threes, fours, and occa-
sional fives being added—till the total reached 176 at dinner I
time ; Ricketta having put on 88, and Mr. E. B. Rowley 72.1
Afterwards Sewell went on howling again, and at 4 o'clock the
score was up to 190; then Griffith set lib field fur slows, and this
tine theexperiment answered, as Mr. Rowley put the second ball
up, which Mr. colyer held at forward point. Mr. Roviers 78
was a fine pluckily-hit innings, and included two Ws, three Ts, '
two 3's, and nine Ts. He was warmly applanded, having been
at the wickets more than three hours, and with the colt raised
the acorefrom 31 to itn. Holote began billies at new, and a
clapping of heads soonanneunced that Ricketts had completed
his 100. The Lancashire colts were 0.0., between wickets, and
lost several runs, and the Surrey fielding was anything but
good. At 214 Mr. Noble teed an over at Whale's end. and Hol-
gate hit well, especially to the on side. but he took a liberty
with a ball of Mr. Noble's, and Feeley stamped hint In
splendid style, atter making 22 in double quick time.
His bits included one 4, four Ts, and two Is. This
made the third Lancashire wicket for MB. Another
colt (Burrows. followed, and Ricketts got another five—
,applause)—end In the next over repeated the bit. At 6 o'clock I
the score Mood at 250, then came a smart shower, II bleb drove
the "field" in, and the 50 minutes' interval which elapsed must
have been meet welcome to Surrey, and the colt, who had
traversed the wickets ever since a quarter past It. On renuming.,
Griffith bowled Burrows with a long hop for 11, and In the same
over settled F. Coward without scoring—making the alt and
sth wickets for VS T. Smith—another colt, who brings with him
a well-earned batting reputation—showed some capital cricket, ,
and after making a dozen by good all round hitting, Griffith
bowled over his leg stump ;0 for 295). Mr. Appleby,
left banded' was next .• he was loon missed at long.leg,
by Mr. Collyer, but the fallowing over was given not by
%Tither, I.b.w. ,7 for 3ea,. Hickton followed. With the score ,
at 3NI, Mortlock again tried the slows. Ihe new corner got 'one
away for 4, and 330 went up. A cheer announced that Ricketts,
who had all this time been scoring away by hitting to all parts
of the field—bar the leg, which is his weak point—had reached
his 150. At seven o'clock. when the stamps were drawn, the
more denoted the grand total of 346, Ricketties contribution
being 153 (not oats, including three Ws, two 4's, eleven Is, and
thirteen Fa Hickton's 20 not out), got quickly and well, COM.
prised three I's, one Clubd four Ts. So pleased were the com-
mittee of the Surrey with Ricketts' fine display of batting
that they have engaged him to play in Tom Lockyer's benefit
match--Surrey and Sumer v. Rngtand. Play will be resumed this ;
day at 11.
