CRICKET.

3,615

floairr V. LthcAntigg.—Saturday was another splendid day
for cricket, and this match having assumed a very Interesting
phase when the stumps were drawn on the previous night, at an
early hour there was a numerous company assembled long before
the ringing of the first bell, and in the afternoon there were
more than 4,000 spectators, forming a compact ring all round
the Oval. Notwithstanding the constant complaints of the late.
nem of the hour for commencing operations. it was within a
few minutes of noon before all were ready. Mr. Coll) er with
20, and Mortlock with 44, were the two "not outs," and
Smith and Ifickton the first pair of bowlers. The
Surrey gentleman did nearly all the hitting ; he made
20, while Mottlock, who now always commences his innings
with extreme notion, had put on 4, so that at 60 they were
neck and neck. Mr. CoUyer was let off at mid-on, and subse-
quently hit away with great freedom, as did liortlock, who had
now got a "good sight." A change of bowling took place, Mr.
Appleby relieving Hickton when the score was at 265, and at
27j Storer essayed to bowl at Itleketts's end with round arm
slows. This, however, did not Improve matters, as the run.
utinued till Mr. Collyer was caught at his favourite
glt,(iint r.oil.on) by Mr. Appleby, who, though tall, had to spring up
to reach the ball. This was a very fine catch ; and so was Mr.
Collyer's Innings bar a little luck' of 60, obtained by four fours,
four threes, nine twos, and the balance in singles. Stephenson
became Mortlocith liartner, and began with an off drive
for two. Mortlnek hit a ball to square leg, which travelled
so fast that before the spectators could rise from the
ferns one of them was knocked over and fell on
his head. Storer resumed the bowling and In his second over
a " breakback" took Mortlock's off stump. NIA inning. of 134
was hit in his usual line form, and evoked considerable cheering,
as it deserved. Amongst his hits were three fives, four fours,
eight threes, and five twos. This made the Surrey scare all
wickets for 325. The remainder of the wickets were s
disposed of, Sewell being the only one likely to stay : speedily
soon busy, and made a magnificent hit to square leg, but in
attempting to make a fifth run, Whale paused, and the hall
being well returned and handled, his wicket was put down, and
so ended the Surrey innings for 310, or 80 to the bad, which
necessitated their following on. At 20 minutes to 3 Surrey
again sent In Jupp and Humphrey Mr. Appleby tags,/
bowling at the pavilion end' and Storer at the re-
verse Ricketts—who appears useful all round—kept the
wicket. !fight runs were got off the first three oven, and 20
telegraphed, amidst Surrey cheers ; lust after Hum-
phrey was caught off Mr. Appleby by " third man" (I for It;.
On resuming after dinner, Stephenson )(fined Jupp, and the
latter, when the score had reached 42, received his quietus from
Storer. The next Surrey man Palley) was as usual soon at work,
and runs continued to accumulate, 60 soon being to het.
At 61 Seeley was caught at long off. Mortloek again played
well far his 16, hut was caught at short leg cleverly. The Score
was now at SI for four wickets. The next (Griffiths( went with it
at 62 . and the sixth (Stephenson), at Mi. It remained for the
Suffer gentlemen—Meson. Cellyer and Noble—to save the
match. which they did by playing out time. The batting of both,
notwithstanding the frequent changes of bowling, was of a moat
satisfactory character, and refiocted the highest credit upon the
execUtaclea. It elicited WWI and oft-repeated cheers from the
assembled thousands, and when seven o'clock arrived Mr. Con-
yer's )not oat; some amounted to 41, that of ' Mr. Noble to to,
and the grand total to' 00. It will be seen that In this great
match so less than Pea runs were scored, giving an average of
nearly 36 runs per wicket. The match was played with true
ericketaphit throughout, and is to be an annual one.
