Distance, \ mile from Eastbourne Station. Matches, 13—won 5, lost 6, drawn 3. W. H. Ormerod* (cant.) has again well filled the post of captain; his untiring energy in keeping the'eleven in practice cannot be too much praised ; has not come offsomuch in batting this year; is sometimes an effective change bowler, and is a capital field. H. J. Holman* fell off considerably from last year’ s form in bowling, attempting pace rather than pitch ; has improved in batting and hits very well to square-leg. F. Oswell,* a persevering cricketer, is a painstaking bat and very often makes runs; invaluable in tho field at cover point. A. F. Sillem,* a promising bat, having a good style, but at present is too much inclined to hit; very good deep field when he chooses; a slow bowler, and takes wickets when others fail. H. H. Carey took no pains with his batting at the beginning of the season, and consequently made no runs, but later on played several excellent innings; very safe field and good long- stop. T. Ormerod improved very much with his bowling, having cutivated a break fromthe off; with more strength would make a good bat; fair field. E. Bouch kept wicket very pluckily when required ; fielded well and batted well, especially against goodbowling; ought to be useful next year. A. E. Barton,* contrary to expectations, proved one of the most useful members of the eleven; steady bat, and can punish loose bowling; hard-working field. S. A. Smith, a promising cricketer, did not do himself justice with the bat owing to smallness of stature, but fielded very well at point. W. F. Noakes, when he likes, can bat and field well, but is apt to be careless at practice. A. E. Watts can bat very fairly, and worked well in the field. * Has left.
