L�e, on his day a very good lob-bowler; very fair bat, with hard hitting powers, but wants defence; fielclR brillia11tly anywhere, especially at point; has made an excellent Captain ; winner of the average bat. *A. P. Wickh . am a very good and trustworthy bat; has an obstinate defence combined with good leg _ hltti n g and driving powers; has kept the wicket well throughout the sea_c;on. * .A.. C. Sim a ,lery uncertain bat at first, but dangerous when well in ; �a�e great promise dt1ring the early part of the season, but unaccountably fell off towa1·ds the end. An excellent :field at long-leg and cover point, making good use of his reach, bl1t must learn to th1·ow in with greater precision; ha8 been known to bowl. * F. M. C. lrfackarness has improved �ery much h 1 batting this season; can geneI·ally be 1·elied on to make rl1ns, but sho11ld Btudy hitting to leg; a su1·e catch in the long field. G. R. B·urge. has disap .. pointed us both in bowling and batting during the season, being a good deal thrown back by illness ; wants more confidence as a bat and m11st learn not to lose heart directly his bo,vling is bit; a good field at short slip. * H . R. A rms tro·ng has improved wonderfully in batting owing to the pains he has taken, though he occasionally returns to his old reckless style of playing; a useful school bowler when on the spot, but is rather uncertain ; a good field and catch anywhere. A. G. Steel, a very promising bat indeed if he phooscs to take the trouble to improve; has played some brilliant innings during the season; a useful change bowler when required; room for im«roveme11t in the field. H. V. White a steady painstaking bat with good powers of defence, very punishing on the off side ; should get more freedom in bitting to the on ; ottght to be very useful next year; a good longstop, but must practice catching. Captain for 1875. H. St. L. Fagan a very good slow left-hand bowler; has been of great service during the season. Should learn to use his bead and alter his pace more tha11 he does ai pre-
