E ton T welve in 1895. — *C. C. Pilkinyton (captain): A first-class bats­ man, with a beautiful style, especially strong on the off-side. A good medium pace bowler, very successful at times, though hardly as steady as last year. As captain has taken great pains over the twelve, and produced a really strong Bide. *//. W, Kettlewell: Has on the whole been rather disappointing with th bat, though successful in both school matches; has a fine reach, and can drive splendidly, but is somewhat clumsy in his movements. Fair fast bowler. Moderate field and poor judge of a run. *A. M. Hollins : A dangerous batsman, and strong on the off-side, though too fond of cutting a straight ball. A good field. *//. li. Chinn?rtf: A fine free player, with a very attractive style ; scores well all round the wicket and makes his runs very fast. An admirable field, with quick and accurate return. *A. F. liaird: A good wicket­ keeper, allowing few' balls to pass him, and very good at w'hipping off the bails. A stubborn batsman, not easily dislodged. *B. W. Mitchell: A capital medium pace bowler, varying both pace and pitch with great judgment; has improved greatly since last season, and has been consistently successful. Fair bat, and good field at short slip. *A. B. Lubbock: Has developed into a really good batsman, making the most of his long reach and driving especially well on the on side. A safe field at mid-off. *F. Robertson : A good but nervous bat; cuts well and has a good stroke off his legs. Fair bowler and field. C. T. Allen: A very useful all-round cricketer. A strong run-getting bat, quick and safe field, with good return, and steady fast bowler. *A. S. Ward: A medium pace bowler with high action, making the ball get up very quickly. A useful bat and good field. A. 1>. Leyard: A sound and steady player, watching the ball well, and likely to make a good batsman. An active and safe field. *//. W. d* Zorte : A good left-handed bowler, with break from leg. A useful bat, with Htrong defence, and ft good field at point.
