HARROWELEVEN IN 1885.-*E. M. Butler (Capt., 2nd year) : A very dangerous bat, with good defence , and makes full use of his long reach ; possesses , too , wonderful nerve and coolness at a crisis ; a good field at point ; as captain displayed great judgment in the selection and managementof his eleven . * W. A. R. Young : Disappointing this year as a bat ; bowled very well v. Eton; at all times a steady bowler ; good slip . *A. K. Watson : Very fine bat, but especially on a fast wicket ; has scored two centuries for the school , including a very fine innings of 135 v. Eton ; hits brilliantly on the off , driving and cutting very hard ; good field in the country, and sometimes bowls withsuccess (slow right hand). *M. J.
