NIDDLLUX V. SUIREY (=vim).

To-day, at 12.30, this match was rosnmod at
Islington, the " not out" Southerton being " partnered"
by Bristow. The bowling, which was Al, was started
by Hearne and Howitt. The former took Bristow's
wicket with a " shooter," and Sontliertoa was beautifully
caught in the slip off him, and Mr. C. Noble clean-bowled
with the very find ball. Both Street and 13owoU were
despatched with fine bade by Hewitt when the Surreyscore
was at ttp, or to to the bad. After well rolling the wickets,
Middlesex began their w cmul innings, Mr. B. D. Walker
and Mantle acting on the defensive against Southerton
and Ileame's howling. Street clean bowled Mantle for
11, and Mr. Daniel went in. At this tune (2 o'clock) our
despatch left the glv nod, and the score was then as fol-
lows:—M.dilh,ex, tint innings. 139; Surrey, first t-
