London, June 18. After putting Essex in and out for 156 on a rain- sodden wicket at the Oval, Surrey wers themselves ignominiously tumbled out, and finished the day 46 runs behind with only one wicket remaining. The game was marred by an accident to Avory, who opened for Essox with Eastman.. A rising ball from Gover broke his third finger, and the injury will keep him out of the game for at least five weeks.
