Jones , Captain (17.6) : Ahard-hitting bat, with good de- fensive powers and a fair amountof patience ; not a pretty style ; good fast bowler with break back; safe in the field ; madeanexcellent captain . A. M. Jenkin (9.3 ): Apretty bat but not a safe one, having one or two weak strokes ; a really excellent field at cover -point ; winner of the fielding prize . R. S. Jenkin (13.1 ): Goodbat all round, especially on the off side ; weakest onthe leg-stump and apt to get his leg in front ; fairly good wicket -keeper . G. L. Gower (3.4 ) : C a nhit well inpractice , but not in anywayreliable in amatch; a good steady , fast medium bowler, with easy delivery and a fair curl ; moderate field . S. B. Haynes (3) : Fair bat, but couldnotget runson the slow wickets ;drives wellt otheoff; a goodchangebowler and safe field . T. Davies(1.1) : Onlyplayed three innings; steadybat, withgreat patience; goodfield at mid-off ; wonthe fielding prize in 1890. R. W. Rees (5.3): By far the most promising cricketer in theteam; safe and steady bat, with excellent defence; is too youngto score runs; goodslow bowler with break both ways; slow field , but safe catch ; bad runner . J. A. Morgan (2.2): Shapes well as a bat, but rarely got any runs in a match; good change bowler , and fair field . W. J. Evans (11.8 ) : Adashing hitter , with a splendid eye , and generally made runs ; proved very useful against Brecon ; excellent field far out , and a very fair bowler . J. Felton (6.2): Goodbat, with sound strokes and excellent judgment; ought to make a good cricketer ; very fair field and catch and can bowl. H. M. Rees : Played entirely for his fielding , which is excellent , especially far out ; no bat or bowler. N e w t o nCollege.-Matches played , 12 ; won, 7 ; drawn , 4 ; lost , 1. C. V. Windsor (24): Thebest public -school bat in the western counties , and quite among the best school cricketers of the year ; the only fault in his batting was a tame stroke on the leg side at silly mid-on ; as a field he was also first -class , picked up cleanly and returned quickly , but was rather slow at starting ; he should have cultivated his bowling . C. F. W. Stork (28) : Acted as captain for Windsor ; should with care become a good bowler again , but he lost muchof his breakfromthe accident to his a r m; a soundbat andgoodfield , especially at short-slip ; owing to his pace achieved some record performances with the ball, but he mustnot over -bowl him- self . R. A. O'Neill (24) : Rather disappointed us ; too fond of hitting , or he might have become a really good bat; fair field . W. D. Villiers -Stuart (13) : Left -hand fast bowler , right -handedbat, andanenthusiastic supporter of the game; at times very useful with the ball ,but waskept on too long on different occasions , and as his pitch was erratic , his bowling wasthus severely punished and his analysis spoilt ; used to like a hit , so was scarcely the m a n to send in first ; not first -rate in the field ; has been knownto miss catches . L. B. Currie (7): A steady , old-fashioned cricketer all round; could bowl, bat, and field moderately . E. L. L. Hammond(17) : Amediumright-arm bowler with a good off -break , and very fair bat ; with care and steadiness will be a good bowler another year ; he came on all round this seasonmorethananym e m b e rof the eleven; mustlearn in batting to lose his flourish . С. L. Donaldson (16) : Promising all round; a steady bat, and will bowl some day ; a pains- taking field . T. H. Hayward(26) : Very good out-field , and useful hitter ; wanted more defence to become a sound bat. W. A. Light (10) : Aplucky but indifferent wicket -keep ; could bowl at times ; a nervous bat whodid not excel . H. B. J. Taylor (10): Too lazy to succeed , andvery nearly lost his place in consequence ; has the making of a good cricketer , but he must remember that success will only follow effort . W. R. G. Wollen (4) : The reverse of Taylor, andbut for that would never have got his place ,which no one grudged him; slow but painstaking, describes h i mas a cricketer ; goodfield .
