SURREY'S TURN.

| To judge by the London Press, the ! important, topic of recent days has not I been inter-Allied friction, or the eonj tinuance of war in Ireland, or fabric gloves, or the Near East tangle, but { the fact that Surrey cricketers (after the statutory collapse against Kent last week, at Jtlackheath), getting Kent down to the Oval, "put it across them proper;" There f.-. we're over 10,000 i people at the Oval on Monday about I 10.20, although Bank Holidays were four days distant. The Surrey crowd got value for its time and shillings. Sandham and Fender each completed a larger score than the whole Surrey side had made at Blackheath. Fender's hitting was of the hurricane sort. He made 137 himself under 90 minutes, whereas 60 runs an hour, from both batsmen, including extras, is fair going in first-class cricket. Hovvell, though he got 46 rims, batted for 20 minutes without scoring. .
