C. Morris, the “ guide, philosopher, and friend ” of the team, played •only in the club games, not against schools. Webb batted capitally, but no one else did anything great in that line, though the twro Cros- mans, Brinton, and J. Carey were good at times. Brinton and J. Stokes were the chief bowlers, with aid from Carey and Garrigues. The last-named was captain, and led his side well and in a spirit of self-sacrifice. E. N. Crosman [kept wicket capitally, and the fielding was very good indeed. BATTING AVERAGES. BATSMAN. INNS. N.O. R. A. II.S. •C. C. Morris 5 O 157 3 I -40 92 W. Webb . . 17 I 434 27 -OI 86 * E. N.
