E. Lyttelto1i (Captain), a magnificent hitter all 1·0 u �c l , and very much imp1·oved in his def't: \ 11ce, bei 11 g very safe on to shorters, but trusts a little too m11ch to wl1ere the ball 011ght to go ; a bril­ liant fielcl and thro,ver; rather unce1--tnin catch; occasio11t1lly bo,vls.

E. Ralli, has been unfortunate this season, though he hits as well as ever, and plays very �a.rd back; admirable long-stop. F. Judd, a useful man in any eleven; beautiful field at long point ; a very good 1·ough and ready bat, hitting very hard all round, with strong wrist. J!}. W. Denison, has on the whole been •
