Sniitli (Captain), in ,vhicl1 position he gave u11ive1·sal satisfaction, while his services .. in every department of the game were invaluable to the eleven; an excellent medi11m pace bowler, good bat, and � fi n e field anywhere. 0. Poioell (Secretary), was unable to play much this year; an excellent field, and at times shows decidedly good batting powers. P. Roge1·s, a capital biit, and played some very good innings, lind in the most important matches ; can drive well and ha1·cl, bt1t often forgets that it wants a very long reach to drive '' short ones'' with much succe�s; good field at point; Captain for 1875. * R. Bole.'>, a veI·y gooJ fast bowler, with considerable wo1 ..k and ve1·y fair pitch; irop1·oved g1·eatly a� a bat, iind often scored when most wanted; a first-1·c.tte field, a11J al,vays '' plays llp.'' * l!J. Garey, a ve1-y useful all-round playe1�, though hardly so st1ccessful with the bat as was expected; good wicket-keepe1· and usefttl ch,1nge bo\\i '" ler. S. Brooksba,il�, a fine hitter, looking upon all bowling a::; of mt1ch the same calibre, antl often '' beginning too soon;'' much imp1"oved in fielding. JI. Mack, a promising left a1"m, slow bowler, and good fielJ; if n1O1·0 confi.Jent in hi8 own powers should bat well. A. Powell towa1·d's the end of the term played some capital innings ; with mo1·e life shot1ld make a fi11e bat. E. Watso1i, an uuusl1ally fine field, especially at long-leg, being very quick on his legs and a :fine thrower; with a little more steadiness will become a very dangerous bat; at present rather too reckless. F. L. Govett, an exceedingly painstaking cricketer, worked hard, and was often very useful at a critica I • ii.me. C. Watso11, capital long-stop, and promises fairly as a bat; wants more euergy. * Has left.
