C lark , a taking bat, with rather more style than performance; a quick bnt uncertain field ; will be able to play some day if he learns to stand still and hit the ball. '1'. C.

I %| ^ Capt., N, M orice . Matches, 12—won 4, lost 4, drawn 4. N. M orick , a fair, steady bowler, sometimes very effective; as a bat ho has an excellent defence, if not the most correct style, and has lately scored much more quickly; a good judge of the game, and an excellent captain. F. Y ardley , a fine hard-hitting bat, but not very reliable; a fast and straight bowser, without much pitch ; has improved even his own last year a reputation in the field; has unfortunately been unable to play in several matches. H. H arding , nervous at first, but when set a fast and pretty scorer; the best judge ot a run in the team; a sharp field at point, throwing in wonderfully well. G. A. ioung , hardly as successful a bat as was expected, but does not play quite so wildly as in 1882 ; a fair wicket-keeper. J. H. C oi - leston , perhaps the most promising bat mthe team, his forward driving being excellent; has good reach and hitting powers, but is apt to play forward too much* R. E. L yon , very successful at the beginning of
