( Continued from 156.) Only three old choices remain of last year’s Repton eleven:—the captain, L. C. H. Palairet, his brother, R. C. N. Palairet, and 0. B. Fry. The captain headed the batting averages last year, and though he is at present very much out of form, will probably get lots of runs if the wickets are at all fast. Fry is a very*use­ ful bat, with good defence, but wanting in freedom. The younger Palairet promises to be a really good “ keeper,” and is a pretty stylish bat, but a little weak on the off stump. There is an abundance of fair material outside the eleven, of whom Horton, Marshall, Glover, Blain, and Bowstead are the most promising. Horton is an immensely strong boy, and if he can only gain confidence ought to score largely. He is a capital field at mid off. Marshall is a very fair all-round player, a straight, if easy, bowler; and would be a good bat if he could get rid of a stupid flourish. Glover is very rough as yet, but hits grandly, and is sure to come o n ; unfortunately, he is a slow field. Blain can hit hard, but it is as a bowler he is likely to be of most service; he bowls round the wicket, keeps a good length, and is over medium pace; fielding is his weak point. Bowstead is wanting in strength but has cricket in him, and has already made consider­ able progress in batting and bowling. There are others, such as Bellhouse, two Lloyds, Stam­ ford, and Griffiths, who are likely to be useful, but they are not as good in the field as could be wished, while there are two or three raw colts who are safe and quick in the field and may be worked up into serviceable bats. Forbes and Lecky are the best of these. Hoyland, a slowish, left-hand bowler, has not come on as much as could be wished, but this is partly due to an unfortunate strain in the side. The captain is bowling really well, and with a little more practice and experience ought to be really good, as he has a wonderful command over the ball. S. T. Hankey is captain for the second year at Wellington, and he will be supported by three old choices, to wit—G. F. H. Berkeley, E. C. Mordaunt, and G. Mordaunt. There is a very promising lot of new players on the whole, containing some useful bowlers to support the two school bowlers, Mordaunt (medium, right), and Berkeley (medium, left- hand). Of the most promising are Vanderbyl (fast right), Denny (fast rights, and Johnstone (medium, left). In Birley, Macnaghten, who is also a useful change bowler, and Wood, who is quite young, are promising batsmen. The great weakness of the eleven is the want of a wicket-keeper. In bowling and batting they should be stronger than usual, but three of the bowlers especially are likely to feel severely the want of a wicket-keeper. At Sherborne cricket is certainly looking up. There is an energy and enthusiasm about the new coach, Painter, which is infectious, and beginning to take effect already. Five old choices are still to the fore, Price (captain), Fenwick, Jacob, Delme-Radcliffe, and Morres, besides Baker and Dixon, who played in most of the matches, but have not yet got their first eleven colours. The first five, and Dixon, are all framing well, and likely to make good bats. Fenwick though not perhaps strictly classical, keep a much straighter bat than last year, and lays on with more discre­ tion but no less vigour than heretofore. Piice wants confidence, but if he survives the first few overs, is bound to get runs, and in good style too. Jacob and Delme-Radcliffe are the safest and soundest batsmen, and should turn out first-class. Morres, besides being a good free bat, has come out as a fast bowler (right) with considerable success. Baker (left) ought to make a good bowler, having a nice easy high action, with a natural break. Fiske (right, slow-medium) is also a much-improved trundler, very steady and painstaking. The fielding so far is distinctly good all round. Though the school does not possess one of those heaven-sent natural born -genius wicket­ keepers, still the captain is taking to the post kindly and not without success. Altogether, the prospects of the season of 1889 are rosy. The absence of the Clifton match from the fixtures is much regretted. The outlook at Bradfield College is not very hopeful this year. There are indeed some very promising players among the younger boys, but many of the old hands have ceased to im ­ prove. Two, at least, who might have done great things have not come on a bit since 1887. The want of variety in bowling is another weak point in their armour, they all bowl medium pace over the shoulder—no slows, no lobs, no sneaks break the monotony. Lea (captain) is fairly good, but he is, alas! not the bowler he once promised to be. The batting is only slightly better than their bowl­ ing. In Lea and Smythe they have two excellent batsmen to go in first, and they should each make a lot of runs, only a little more dash is wanted. Unfortunately, there is no one to follow them ; Jenyns is the Jenyns of 1887, without the luck of that cheerful bats­ man, and in Gellebrand age is at last telling. Crawley may come o ff; he is cool and can cut well, but his style is not good enough to war­ rant much confidence in him. On the other hand, Barnes is a very pretty batsman, who gives quite a tone to the tail of the eleven; he will do well, unless spoilt by conceit. T. Scott is T.S. over again, very neat, but not a run getter, and of the others Higgins is a long way the best. Against the Old Wykehamists the team fielded excellently; the captain and secretary both setting a good example, which we hope the team will always follow. KENSINGTON v. ISLINGTON ALBION.
