Subs,, 21s. Colours, carmine and white. Matches, 22—won 14, lost 5, drawn 3. A. Wilmer,* the best bowler the school has had for many years, possessing great' command over the ball; though unfortunate in batting in the early matches, he afterwards made several most useful scores; has for the second year fulfilled the duties of cajffain to general satisfaction. W. L. B. Hayter vastly improved as a bat, having learned to punish all loose bowling with equal effect, though he can ahvays play a defensive game when necessary; as brilliant as ever in the field. H. F. Jacob will, by becoming keener and stronger, prove a most useful batsman; in fielding, as in batting, he is neat but uncertain. H. B. French has steadied in batting, and therefore improved, but still has a desire for slogging; an excellent point. H. E. Hughes has taken to a freer style of play, but has not Tost any of his patience; has more than atoned for small scoring at times by a gratifying improvement in fielding. A. L. M. Scott,* good batsman and bowler; in the former capacity has a slashing style, but is apt to take liberties; as a bowler is steady, and uses his head. E. Higgs has shown good form in batting, bowling, and fielding, but is very incon­ sistent; must use his head more in bowling; his fielding is sometimes brilliant. P. M. Bayne,* a defensive bat, but has no punishing powers; a very smart field. R. A. Cholmeley kept wicket with fair success, and showed marked improvement, usually dispensing with a long stop; a vigorous but not a stylish bat. G. H. Forman* has the fault of playing forward at everything, the consequence being a failure to make long scores ; a very uncertain field. A. Miller,* a steady and stylish bat, with a pretty c u t ; can bowl, but did not meet with much success; a slow field. * Has left. W. L. B. Hayter A. L. M. Scott... H. B. French ... E.
