Sellar : only got his colours at the very end of the season ; plays good cricket ; he is still , however, too slow in the field . L O R E T T OS C H O O L, M U S S E L B U R G H . LORETTOELEVEN IN 1879 .-*J. G. Walker : a sure and brilliant bat, with a sound though ugly style ; he averaged 34, generally on a very moist ground , and scored his average for Sixteen of Edinburgh v. South of England ; a first -rate field in every point but his throwing , and never misses a long catch ; also a fine judge of a run. J. C. Mackenzie : got into his ' century ' near the beginning of the season ,but fel off greatly in his batting ; a fine and sure field , and some- times a very telling bowler ; in the last innings of the season for sixteen of the School v. Players of Scotland , he got seven wickets , all bowled but one . A. G. Asher : sometimes good at all parts of the game, but very variable . D. G. Macfarlan : a useful bat, but slack in the field ; sometimes bowls very good round -arm slows , well pitched , with a great break . C. J. Dunlop : the second bat in the eleven , and constantly improving as a wicket -keeper ; he still stands a few yards back for fast bowling , but invariably dispenses with a long -stop . H. B. Tristram : improved during the season more than any memberof the eleven ; he promises to be first -rate at point , and occasionally plays a fine innings ; he got into his fifties against the Players of Scotland . C. B. Berry : ayoung but very useful cricketer ; bowls well pitched and perfectly straight round-arm slows , without much in them ' except a somewhat peculiar rise ; with a soft wicket to help him, he was one of the most destructive bowlers in Scotland , and had probably the best analysis last season ; a fair field , and may learn to bat . *W. Rennie : energetic and useful in the field , but was a failure as a bat . D. A. Reid : slightly improved in batting , and perhaps not quite so good in the field as before . J. J. Johnson : had his usefulness nearly destroyed for most of the season , by an accident to his hand ; a fast bowler , has a capital -defence , and is a very good field . * G. Tait : greatly improved towards the end -ofthe season : a fine field , and has an excellent defence . T H EPUBLICS C H O O LM A T C H E SO F 1879 . EtonCollege . H a r r o wSchool.
