James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1875

64 • Derbyshire stands alone as the one CoW1ty undefeated in 1874. I� �ay be that Gloucestershire, despite its 011e defeat, can sbo,v a n1ore brill1an1- summnry, but at ,least Derbyshire is fully �ntitled _ fo be pro1;1d of the . �is­ t ino t ive po ition it occupies as the 11nvanqu1shed shire. Yet withot1t deR1ruig to depreciate, the foemen overcome were not of very stout metal, and Derby... hire bas mo1·e steps yet to ascend on the ladder. Allhonom� to the Co�y for its enterprise and pluck in the past. May it go on and prosper still more in the future. Results ofMatches. " � ? - · Matches played, 6; won, 8; Drawn , 8; lost, O. ' Club.
