THE DERBY AND
_OAKS PROPHETS.

" Meteor," it will be seen, falls back upon the
favourite for the Derby winner and declares for VAUBAN.
In this he is joined by " Argus "of the Post, by " As-
niodeus " of the Herald, and by the sporting correspon-
dents of t►e Tekgrapli and Star. " Argus " believes we
shall see Julius second. " Asmodeus" puts Marksman

grap4 writer, selects Van Amburgh for second, with
Julius end Marksman fighting out the struggle of the
" place" ;honours. The Star leaves the same two to
fight for the second and third ; while the Herald puts

CRICKET.

GENTLEMEN OF THE SURREY CLUB v. COLTS

(WITH LOCKYER AS CAPTAIN).

The twenty-second season of the Surrey County
Club was inaugurated this morning at the Oval, the
match appropriately selected being • " Canter with the
C01t..." According to the Cricketers' Pocket-book, the
match wee originally set for the 23rd and 24th
instant, but at the late dinner the hon.
secretary announced that in consequence of the
latter being the " Oaks Day," the dates would
be altered to the 20th and 21st. The weather was dull,
and • heavy shower fell in the early morning, rendering
the green sward at the Oval, beautiful to look upon ; the
wickets were in splendid condition, in short, we question
whether they ever were so good ; the state of the ground
generally reflects great credit on George Street,under whose
superintendence it is placed. Surrey having for the last
three years forfeited to some extent her status
as a county, owing to a paucity of bowlers, much
curiosity was felt amongst the ',abaci. of the Oval, as to
whether amongst the lot of youngsters trotted out, such a
ram aria might be discovered or not. It was late (1235)
before play commenced, the Gentlemen, "captained " by
Mr. Miller, having lost the toss, had to take the field, the
first pair of batsmen being Garman, of Dorking, and
Roberu, of Battersea, and the bowlers Messrs.
J. C. Greenfield' and Miller. The former gen-
tleman at once " put on the steam," and in
two successive balls in his second over settled
Roberts and Constable—the two first wickets of the Colts
going for as many runs. Luff, of Kew, followed, and
Carman" broke the ice" by hitting Mr. Killer to leg for
2. Mr. Miller then bowled Lutf (3 for 8). Score :
