Endor, 6 to 1 agst Twilight, 7 to 1 agst Diana, and 10 to 1
each agst the Grey Hen colt and Caliban.
Upwards of three-quarters of an hour was consumed at

the post, occasioned by the continual breaking away of
Twilight, Surbiton Hill, East Sheen, and the Witch of
Endor. At last the patience of the spectators was re-
warded by the signal flag being lowered, amid a buzz of
satisfaction. Twilight was the first off, and came on with
a slight lead, but after running some few strides she was
pulled back, and the lead was taken up by The Maltster,
who, with East Sheen, Twilight, Diana, Hungerford, and
the Gray Hen colt, lying close up, came on in company
to the distance, where Twilight, in company with East
Sheen, dropped back, and Diana, in company with the
favourite on the near side, appeared in front, closely fol-
lowed by the Gray Hen colt, the Maltster and Overton, to
which lot the race was now confined. On reaching the
entrance to the stand enclosure, the two leaders appeared
in difficulties, and shortly after were headed by the Gray
Hen colt, who, full of running, came on with a decided
lead, and won very cleverly by a length and a half, two
lengths between the second and third. The Maltster was
fourth, Overton was fifth, and East Sheen and Michel
Grove, close together, next, the last two being Fanny Bow-
line and May-be.

Betting-6 to 4on Salisbury, and 4to .1
agst any other.

The favourite, in company with Spitfire, ran abreast to
the distance, when Exactitude went up, and in a few strides
after obtained a decided lead, which he held to the end, and
won in a common canter by eight lengths, two lengths
separating the second and third, a length between the third
and fourth. The winner was sold to Mr. Nightingale for
34 guineas.

and 100 to 6 agst any other.

Viceroy jumped off with the running at his best pace,
followed by Paresseuse, Watchfiro, and Twilight for the
first mile, when he gave way to Paresseuse, who carried it
on into the straight, where she was passed by the favourite
and Twilight, the pair coming on together to the half dis-
tance, where Twilight appeared to have a trifle the best of

it, which she retained to the end, and won, after a slashing
finish, by a neck ; Strike, who ran by the pulling up horses,
finished a bad third, Viceroy was fourth ; the others beaten
off.

Tulip, General Bixio, Pretty Girl colt, Antar, and Betsy

runs. Jackson followed, and in a short time gained 21, con-
taining two fours, a three, and two twos ; eight wickets,
, and 497 runs. Mr. V. E. Watker next appeared, and Iddi-
, son, who had been batting for some time remarkably well,
at length succumbed to Mr. Miller. His score was 33, made
up by three fours, six twos, and singles; nine wickets and
501 runs. Mr. V. E. Walker added a single, and was then
bowled by Caffyn, Biddulph taking his bat out for two. The
innings thus closed for 503—the largest score ever recorded.
England may be said to have occupied the wickets two
days, for it was half-past 5 when the innings terminated.
The fielding of Surrey was excellent, and no fault could be
found with the bowling, beyond its not being equal to the
splendid batting it had to contend against. The spectators
seemed highly gratified at the cricket displayed, and testi-
fied it by their applause. Shortly before six o'clock Sur-
rey commenced their innings by sending in Mortlock and
T. Humphrey against the bowling of Mr. V. E. Walker
and Willsher. Humphrey did not score ; one wicket and
4 runs. Mr. Burbridge came next, and here we regret to
state, after a four had been scored off Willsher from a "no
ball," called by the umpire, John Lillywhite, and called so suc-
cessively for four or five balls following,a "sensation" scene
took place. Willsher threw the ball indignantly on the
ground and left the field, followed soon after by the rest of
the 11, and all play was put an end to for the evening. For
some time past it has been a moot point regarding " high
bowling," and although the " cricket laws" define it, still it
has been a growing fashion to get high, and with Willsher
it is considered by some particularly so. But however this
may be Willsher's high bowling has never before been in-
terfered with, and, like that of others, perhaps, may have
been permitted under sufferance. With this, however, we
have nothing to do, it rests with the umpires to decide,and
John Lillywhite being one of those ftmctionarit3s, we think
he was perfectly justified in calling "no ball" if in his
judgment-it was unfairly delivered. During- the canna-
tion the Surrey Club held a committee meeting in the
pavilion, and it was urged that John 'Lillywhite had ful-
filled his duties as umpire according to his honest convic-
tion, and he stated that he should continue to do so, but as
the Surrey Club were desirous that no interruption should
take place in the match, he would resign. He did so, and
another will be appointed. It was not altogether the "high
bowling" that was objected to, but the umpire considered
it a " throw." Willsher having apologised for his hasty
manner in leaving the ground, the game will Le resumed
this morning.
