CRICIET.-/THIS DAT.)

SURREY Y. BIM=
This match was resumed this day shortly after
noon. Mr. Smith and James Lillywhite, the " not oats "
of last night, proceeded with their innings, and Sewell and
Bristow started the bowling. Lillywhtte as usual soon
went to work, hitting freely and well, while Mr. Smith
operated rincipally on the defensive, his first
bit above a single being a fine off-drive for 4. With the
score at 70, Street went on to bowl at the pavilion end,
and the change proved effective, for of the first ball he
was cleverly stumped. Mr. Greenhill succeeded, but only
made 3, when Sewell scattered hie stumps. In his next
over the same bowler got Charlwood caught at the wicket,
and Sillick went in.
Tawny o'CLocx.

Mr. Smith continued to bat in his well-known care-
ful style ; he, however, made the meet of any loose
balls ; but alter Lillywhite's secession he could get
no one to "stay" with him. The Surrey "keeper"
was again great at the wicket, catching three, and
stemma three. Southerton and Stubberield each
got 9, and the Sussex score culminated at 128, Mr.
Smith carrying out his bat for a well-played 47, for which
he was much cheered. For Surrey, Jupp and Humphrey,
as usual, began batting, the Sussex bowlers being Lilly-
white and Stubberfleld. The score at the time of our de-
spatch stood as under:

THY WEATHER AND Tin CROPS.—Another week
of drought. Day by day there has been considerable
"show for rain," as the common phrase runs but day
after day has passed without the much longed-for down-
fall. The wheat crops are, as a rule, looking marvellously
well, and, except in certain instances, on thin and badly
cultivated soils, do not appear to have been injuriously
affected by the dry. weather. The " blooming' is
completed, except in backward whoa', and the
ears look full and well formed. Already thcolour
is beginning to change, and a few days more of
sunny weather will snake • material advance in
ripening the forward pieces. An unusually early harvest
seems inevitable, unless very unpropitious weather should
intervene. The pastures, of course, have suffered severely,
end are in numerous places completely scorched up, putting
many farmers to considerable, indeed, serious inconve-
nience for want of feed. In a word, rain is now begin-
ning to be looked for with much anxiety, as the effects of
the drought are necessarily cumulative. With the excep-
tion of the wheats, there is no crop that would not derive
vast benefit from soaking rain. The hay crop has been
mainly secured, and under the most favourable auspices.
It ia, however, a very short crop, taken as a whole, though
here and there the swathe has proved heavier than was
expected. From the hop districts, the accounts will con-
tinue to be encouraging, but the drought has already
begun to tell, especially on thin and badly cultivated
l soil On these the plant has begun to turn yellow and
has lost its vigour.—dress Advertiser.
