CRICK T.

final= v. Oeronn rtirraitariy.—lt will be remembered that
woes play was suspended, at a quarter past seven on FrWay
evening, Surrey had completed their record innings, leaving
• balance of 163 for the Oxonians to go In for—a very small
'teatime In the then state of the ground. On Saturday, at 20
minutes peat 12, Messrs. Trittnn and Case, as usual, represented
the University at the wickets, while the bowling was ouce more
entrusted toGriffith and Southerton. it was not long before 20
were telegraphed ; and when five more runs bad been added
Griffith surrendered the ball to air. Miller, but the run-getting
coitinued, and when 33 were retorted Mr. lrittott was caught
by the lobs stop of Southerton. The vacuum was supplied by
Mr. Highey, who, with his partner, contirued to punish the
Currey bowling till the first "half century" was passed,
yet then Sir CSSEI received "notice to quit," his leg stump
being disturbed by • hall of Southerton, after making 30 in his
accustomed fine form. Mr. Fredericks went in second wicket
down, and his hitting was again very severe, his first essay being
an on drive for 3, and then a fine drive to the oft for 4. Mr.
Miller also was propelled to the on side for 6—• very fine drive.
The slain were uow tried, Murdock going on vice Mr. Miller ;
tie change was a politic one, for they were distasteful to Mr.
Fredericks, and the fourth ball bowled his leg stump. Raving
got rid of this dangerous customer, Mortloek resigned in Mr.
Miller's favour, who, however, bowled but one over, and then
tarred the hail over to Griffith. when the wore stood at 90, By
dint of good play it was relied to 100, which elicited • hearty
cheer from the hackers of the Oxonians ; the hit which Inoue-
dlately led to this result was • splendid tut for 5 off Griffith by
Mr. Boyle. This gentleman also contributed a brace of fours,
one to leg and the other an of drive, from two consecutive
balls of Morilneitit. The punishment administered led
to his retirement, and Sewell was substituted, when
the total stood at 133. The Surrey bowling was.
however, "collared " by Meese. Boyle en lillety, and
at 1 o'clock, when the hell rang for dinner, 149 had been put
together, and only three wickets used op. It was generally
thought that these two 01.01gille would hit of the runs, but that
was not to be, for Southerton drove Mr. !Baby on to his wicket,
after playing another very fine hitting Innings of 42 for which lie
wee deservedly applauded. The Oxford captain was next on " the
order," but very soon lost the valuable co-operation of his anted-
tan, win, being enticed in by Southerton to "let go" at a hall
pitched well up, Mem& and wee. of emote, stumped. Mr. Bayte's
50 was another spirited and well manipulated innings, and ea.
titled him to one of Page's best hats. Mr. Bartholomew now
became Mr. Maitland's next and last partner. as between them
they bit off the balance, sir. Bartholomew making the winning
hit, • very fine cut off Scatherten for four. Thus, at 25 minutes
paid four, Oxford, after sustaining defeat at the hands of both
Marylehone and Cambridge University, obtained a flee-wickets
victory over Surrey, who had the week previous beaten Cam-
bridge by nine wickets. Se oath tee " pubic form."
