A fine bat, scoring fast whenonce set , but is rather too impatient . Fast right -hand bowler , rather erratic , but sends in some good balls . Splendid field . J. T. Turner (1896 ) : A steady bat, with the best defence in the eleven ; was greatly missed at the end of the season . Goodfield . J. A.

Glover (1896) : Afine bat on afast wicket, cutting beautifully ; not so effective on a slow wicket . Hasbrought off some smart catches , but is still uncertain in the field . B.
