Campbell : owing to an unfortunate accident , was prevented from being very efficient as Captain ; at times batted in great style , and with fair success ; but was uncertain both as bat and field . R. A. Carruthers : a really good bat, having strong defence and fine hitting powers ; never at homewith slows from lack of confidence in running out to meet them; a straight bowler, though not really difficult ; active but uncertain in the field . A. C. K a y: as a bat, cramped in style , but patient and valuable in a school eleven ; in bowling did not fulfil the promiseof the previous year ; never sufficiently alert in the field . F. H. G. Playfair : want of patience utterly ruined his chance of becominga good bat; his bowling lost its peculiar merits of the previous year, and was therefore not to be relied upon; slowfield . G. Hardyman: singularly un- lucky, being always dismissed in the first few overs ; whenset, he played well, having great punishing powers, especially on the off -side ; poor field . G. H. Aitken : should develop into a good bat, has some powerful strokes , and drives well ; from want of wrist powerhe is apt to put balls up in the slips ; a good clean field with smart return . W. Greenstock : has good form, but is over anxious to make runs, from over practice fell off towards the endof the season, but should develop into a good bat whenhe has more self -confidence ; far from a good field , being a very uncertain catch . C. D. Peddie: a fast but uncertain bowler, relying moreon pace than pitch ; has good cutting powers, but weak defence ; a good short slip . W. M. Douglas : a very patient bat, playing straight with a style of his own; good field andfair change-bowler. N. M'Farlane: the bowler of the Eleven, with goodpitch and break ; poor bat and field . C. J. B. Milne : awkwardbat, makingno use of his height and reach ; good catch and sure field any- where, though not over quick, nor observant enoughof the batsman. G
