Wcbbe proved himself to be an excellent Captain, as well as b a t ; a fair field at point, and a good judge of a run and of the game generally. A. 1). Sim , a very useful man, though lie did not improve in his batting so much as was expected ; a capital held and an energetic cricketer, always playing the game; would bowl well if lie practised. I I . Cumberbatch , an excellent held, particularly at long-leg, and a good bat; hits well on the off, and has played several very good and useful innings during the season. TV. A. Thornton , has bowled well for the Eleven during the year ; a fair bat and good held. TV. Abbott , a good wicket-keeper, having improved very much since last year; has made some long scores, but was not always to be depended on for runs. W. Milne had fallen off con ­ siderably at the beginning of the season hi his batting, but recovered some­ what later o n ; a good held, and can bowl a little. Sir M. Wood promises to be a good cricketer all round ; can hit very hard if he chooses, and has a fair defence ; bowls slow underhand, and helds moderately well. O. Milne, a good held with some notion of batting ; should practise bowling. H. B. A . Prichard , very active in the field, though not always so safe as he should be ; may make a good bat with practice. A. II. Hooper will prove a good bowler next year if he does not over bowl himself ; must practice batting a good deal more, and learn to be quicker between the wickets. II. J . Dixon , a painstaking bat, with plenty of hitting power, but at present lacks defence ; a fair held.
