Burgess, the prettiest bat in the eleven; is very strong On the ofi~side anywhere behind cover-point, and drives nicely to the on ; has good defence; brilliant eateh and ficlrl ungwheres ; as captain game every' ossihle satisfaction. ”T. (J. Rid/(y, a splendid at. meets every hull with the in 1 face of the bats hitting to all pzu'ts of the field with great freedom and power; as a. slow bowler, has often doiie great service to the school, having great commandof pitch. ll. flower/mm, a mztgnifieent bowler, combiiiing almost unlimited command of pace, pitch, and break, with good judgment; a good hat, wcndcrfully improved since last year; averyv brilliant field at- point, with perfect return. *A. . (Ii-arc», a fine but, although he has scarcely come up to the very high expectations formed of him; at cover-point we have never seen a more er- fect field; a fair wicket-keeper. *T. 11arr/res, a perfect cricketer; a first-class at, the best and safest in the eleven; a fair medium-pace bowler; a good wicket- keeper, and fine field and safe catch anywhere. *(,'. JInl/nm, a good steady slew bowler; gets runs quickly', but his carelessness in practice has prevented his be» coming it really good bait; a remarkably neat field and catch. "G. R. Cw, an excelleiit hat; more at home, perhaps. with fast howling than slow; ii fiiie field and safe catcli anywhere. *I 1.1“ has far surpassed all our expectations of him; his slight weaknessvn the 0 -side is amply compensated by the almost absolute certainty with which he scores to leg; ll really brilliant field and catch anywhere; aii excellent longstop to fasthowling; averyfa‘ mediumpace bowler. JI. Field, a promising bat, meeting every hall with an upriglit and full hat; slow between the Wickets and in the field. *.‘1. G. Collier, a very useful and pi'etty' bat, slmv between the wickets and in the field; a fair catch and slow bowler. *J. Tait, iii‘blld) to punish bad bowling ; a very fair fast bowler; a fair catch, but slow in the e . ‘
