CRIC'KE'T.

COUNTY OF SURREY v. Y.C.C. AND GROUND.
A 711 ■A7CH.
. .

Owing to the late hour it which play is commenced, and the
wanton meatier in which "time 6 cut to waste," drawn gamer
are "as common as blackberries," but a "tie," espctially in and-
clan matcher, is amy unwind wean-once. Bosh, however, wee
the revolt of the three days' play between the two leading tn.tro-
politer, clubs at the Oval last week, as on Saturday the match wan
rammed at 12 o'clock, the overnight score denoting M.C.C. to
have made 92 at the mod of four wieket4, Dr. Grace being (not
out) 51. Their tenure of the wickets was very short, Mr. Kings-
cote being caught and bowled Bristow with the loud at 96.
Price want with it at 104, and the Doctor at 107. Woottia mac-
combed at he, and Grundy at 110. Fa:rands and hiddulph
helped the total up to 122, when the latter woe bowled, thus
leaving the County 94 to get to win. At 1.5 they sent in Hum-
and Jupp to the bowling of Dr. Grace and Wootton. The
raorrmer ma usual accumulated 13 while his partner made 6, and
then lost his wicket to Wootton. Stephenson was bad at point
with the score at 22, the third wicket yielded at 34, and Jupp,
whose " tally. was 17, bad to retire at 71 ; Griffith stayed till
92 were recorded between Mortiock and himself, the latter
making 32, and his wicket as well as Griffith and Mr. NoAe
(who ran out), all yielding at the Nam. figure. The dinner bell
now rung' it was " anybody's game," Surrey having 21 runs to
get with three wickets in hand, and this gave rise to ornutiderable
speculation as to the Anal result. Mr. Calvert and Hall only sae-
eeeded in advancing the ecore to 91, when Wootton, who was In
One " form," bowled the latter, sod the former at this) critical
juncture ran out. Three runs were wanted when Bristow joined
Sewell; each got &single, and the sows nand up denoting a tie,"
when Newell put up a ball of Dr. Grace's, which a substitute
enured at log-on, and thus at half-past three, amidst constier-
able excitement, the game ended in * draw.

FATAL AOOIDENT AT THE HOLBORN IirLtDIICT
Woaaa.—Mr. Wm. Payne, the City coroner, held an
inquest on Saturday, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, re-
specting the death of Thomas M'Danuell, aged 63 years.
Tibbey, omnibus akidder on Holborn-hill, laid
that a few minutes before 12 o'clock he maw the deceased
walking down the Farringikei-ruad. He wee next the
heeding at the aide of the new raised roadway now being
formed as an approach to the Holborn Viaduct, walking
along a footpath betweeu the hoarding and a hand-rail.
Suddenly the lasirding gave way, and fell upon his head.
He was then thrown forward, end his bead premed against
the hand-rail. There we. a gaunt:o7 of earth and
loose bricks behind the hoarding. lhere were over
2,000 bricks primal against the hoertling, and
they fell out when it gave way. Mr. It. Lidstowa,
clerk of the Works to the Holborn Valley superstructure,
said that he was employed by the engineer of the works.
The portion of the works where the huardiag fell was not
under his supervision. Au hour after the oe.currenee he
saw the spot. It was not brick. stacked against the hoard-
ing, but the debris of old houses and a quautity of earth
which had been thrown outside the hoarding to make the
new roadway up to the viaduct. Witscsa believed that
the late heavy rains bed caused the earth to larch, and it
had pushed out the hoarding. Mr. Jame, Neon, 13,
Safford-road, Peckham, contractor's agent, said that the
hoarding had been up twelve months. It was 200 feet
long ; 11 feet of it had fallen. The earth was not pressing
the hoarding. The jury returned a 'verdict of .• Acciden-
tal death, and they massidered that the attention of the
contractors should be °ailed to the state of the !wanting,
and that the public should be protected against the recnr-
rente of such accidents."
