Webbe (Trinity) possessed of unwearied patience, combined with severe punishing powers, his hitting to square leg being very clean; a good field anywhere, and a sure catch ; played for Gentlemen v . Players. F . M . B u c k l a n d , (University), proved himself invaluable to the eleven in London both with his batting and bowling ; played two innings of over a hundred, and his 117, not out, against Cambridge was a brilliant display, especially of driving ; a steady medium-paced bowler, and, on a wet wicket, very puzzling ; played for Gentlemen v .

S a v o r y (Trinity), a free-hitting bat; throughout the season; a brilliant field, especially at cover-point. A . D . G r e e n e (Exeter), played a good innings of 93, not out, against M.C.C. at Lord’s, but otherwise was unsuccessful as a b a t ; a splendid field, and made
