This skilful and plucky wicket­ keeper first saw the light at Scarborough, on October 21, 1857, and showed such promise in this department of the game, that on the retirement of the celebrated Pinder, he was chosen to keep wicket for the Yorkshire eleven. He showed, indeed, such all-round excellence in this trying position that during his first four seasons for the county (1881-84), he was respon­ sible for the dismissal of nearly 150 bats­ men. Hunter formed one of Shaw’s NEXT ISSUE, FEBRUARY 26.
