SURREY v. SENT (Rwrowg).

- -
imi• the return match to that played at Gravesend on the
oth July, was commenced yesterday at Kennington Oval.
It will be remembered that at Gravesend Kent obtained
an easy victory, which was mainly attributable to the fine
bowling of Mr. Lipscomb awl WRlsher. Kent's majority
on that occasion was II 1. There were some departures
from the published lists, and both teams were weakened by
the abstraction of a good man, Sussex claiming Southerton
from Surrey and Payne
, from Kent, both of whom were play-
ing for therooluity 'proper" at Brighton against Middle-
sex. Kent had no less thanseven gentlemenplaying forher,
and amongst themMr.Kilson,who received so severeabtow '
in a minor match at the commencement of 1867 that he
has been unable until now, with a solitary exception, to
take part in any of his county's contests. Mr. Mason's
re-appearance on the " tented field " appeared to give
great satisfaction to the backers of Kent, and to those
who remember his brilliant performances in 1861, 1865,
and 1866. On this occasion the " Home County " wen
the toes, and of course elected to take first innings, send-
ing in as per usual Humphrey and Jupp at 12.25. Kent,
on the other band, selected her " crack " bowlers,
Mr. Lipscomb and Willaher, to commence the
attack, and a very excellent commencement they made.
Willsher started the bowling from the Pavilion end, and
off his first over Humphrey gota 2 and a 3. InMr. Lips-
comb's subsequent over Humphrey gave a " chance" to Mr.
Cooper at wicket, which was availed of (one for 5.) The
Surrey wicket keeper made three singles, and then was
bowled "slick" by Willsher (two for 12). Se
joined Jupp, and carried the score up to 30, Stephenson
Lipscomb took off Jupp's bails with a ball that struck
him on the thigh, after he had madel7 by a four,six twos,
do. (three for 30). Griffith, who succeeded, drove Will-
slier straight back (very hot and very high), bathe did
not hold it ; he however prostrated Ortinfha off
stump with a " trimming" ball (four for 35). The first
noteworthy biteffected by the new comer, Mr. Calvert, was
a 4 off W illaher through the slips. Stephenson batted with
extreme care, showing the face of his bat to every ball,
and Willsher was in rare "form," but in endeavouring to
hit a leg ball of 21r.Lipecomb'b he was a "shade" too late,
and it landed in Compton's hands (live for 49). Mr.
Calvert elicited a ganmne cheer for a brilliant drive from
Mr. Lipsomnis for 5, and he speedily rattled up, in his
usually dashing style, 24—the highest score on Ins side—
by a five, a four, three twos, Itc., when his career was
suddenly cut short by an extraordinary catch, made by
Mr. Troughton, who was fielding at mid-off, and who ran
at least 20 yard; or nearly to mid-on, and received the
ball while at full speed. This piece of brilliant
fielding was rewarded, as it fully deserved, with a hearty
round of applause (six for 76). At 77 Bennett went on
bowling, and Sewell got a ball in his second over to the
on side for 5. After each batman had had a narrow

escape, Bristow was given out "leg before" (seven for 89).
Just after Mr. Noble made a straight drive for 4, and
Sewell, in attempting a run too many—was cleverly
throwig out by Mr. Cooper (eight for 100). The colt
Pratt (a Mitcham lad), made a successful Mut. He
played several oven of Wanner's admirably, demon-
strating that he possessed an excellent "nerve,"
and to show that he could hit, he drove Ben-
nett nearly straight for 4. Mr. C. Noble also
made a good drive for 4 to the on side from
the same bowler. But Willsher, in his fourth over after
luncheon, sent down a real beauty, which took out Mr.
Noble's middle stump ; his 14 included two four's and two
twos, well hit Street got a cheer fora good " crack "to
long on from Bennett With the score at 129, Mr. Li
comb again bowled, vice Bennett. Street drove Whisker
very finely forward for 4to the Pavilion, and 130 went
up amidst Surrey cheers. At length Pratt was bowled by
Willsher with a ball that would have beaten many a
veteran. Street carried out his bat for a well played 16,
including a five, a four, and three twos. The innings
closed at 4.50 for 136. The bowling analyses thus—
Willsher, 49 overs, 28 maidens, 41 runs, 5
wickets ; Lipscomb, 32 over!, 7 maidens, 60 runs,
3 wickets. Bennett 16 overt', 6 maidens. 86 rims, 1 wicket.
Kent began their innings with Mr. Rodger and Remnant
at 66. They were bowled at by Street and Bristow—the
former delivering the first over. Singles only were scored
for some time, but at length Mr. Rodger after making
3 in the slips, cut a ball of Bristow's for 6—a real beauty.
With the score at 26 Griffith went on, and 3 were made of a
" no ball" he delivered. At 39 Street and Griffith " changed
hands," and the„: first subsequent ball dissolved the union,
Remnant's off stump being bowled (one for 39). Bennett
soon showectus his old form, but lest Mr. Rodger, who was
well caught by Pratt at a very forward cover point, low
down (two for 41.) The next operator was Mr. Cooper.
At 6.16 fifty were telegraphed, and after a wide hit or
two, Mr. Cooper, who was in his best form, made a very
fine drive for 6 off Griffith, who then made way for the
" colt," but Mr. Cooper sent his second ball away
for 6, then be made another grand drive to the
on for 6; then Bennett got a .5 for a fine late
cut admirably " timed." The colt was taken off
at 90, and Sewell went on. Soon after Street put down a
good one, which carried away Bennett's leg stump (three
for 96). Bennett's 20 included a five, a four, a three, a
two, &c. Mr. Troughton joined Mr. Cooper, and the
score was elevated to 100 at 8.60. Hero Southerton was
ranch wanted. At length Street caused an ominous "rattle
behind," and Mr. Cooper had to retire, for a rare bitting
innings of 46, including three sixes (2 added to one of
these stems by the overthrow), a five, and 3 threes. It
wanted three minutes to seven (time) when Willsher
went in ; be made a angle. and at the first stroke of the
clock the stumps were drawn, the score being as under:
