Of all these players William Midwinter is> to the best of our belief, the only one who has yet passed over 1o “ the great majority.,, Midwinter, who was born at Cirencester, was as well known as an English as he was as an Australian cricketer, having played for several years for Gloucestershire. He died insane at Kew Asylum, Victoria, on December 2nd, 1890, the misfortunes he met with in his busi­ ness as hotel-keeper, together with the loss cf his wife and children, having quite unhinged his mind. May the deatn of no other of the many staunch cricketers who have taken part in the friendly warfare between England and Australia on the tented field belike to his, and may it be long ere another of them departs. We will conclude with a table (which may prove useful for purposes of reference) of the results of the first-class matches played by each team, with the name of its oaptain. Year. Captain. Played.
