For Sale is a Full Page removed from "Famous Cricketers and Cricket Grounds 1895," showing the Following Two Photographs one on each side for these two Cricketers.

1- Arthur Owen Jones.
Bedfordshire Grammar School laid the foundation of the cricket education of A. O. Jones, of the Notts County Eleven.  Without any great influence to help him, he won his way into the Cambridge University Team by sheer merit.  Even then is was perhaps as much to his fielding at short slip as to anything else that he got his Blue.  For Notts, during the last few years, he has distinguished himself in the same way.  Once, in 1894, in the Gloucestershire match at Trent Bridge, he caught four batsmen in the first innings at short slip, and five in the match.  A brilliant field, he can also bat well on occasions.  The final match of last season proved this, and his second score of 41 against Kent at Nottingham was his best of the year.  This summer he has shown that he is in good vein for run-getting, and as he can hit freely if allowed to settle down, is always likely to be dangerous.

2- Francis William Marlow.
It was a fortunate incident in Sussex cricket which took MARLOW, then a youngster hardly out of his teens, to brighton.  Staffordshire, for which he had played with some success, could only have given him a small chance of attaining his position as a cricketer his merits justified.  This opportunity his qualification for Sussex by residence provided, and in return he has for several years rendered excellent service to the County.  To say that he has been one of the most reliable batsmen Sussex has had latterly is to do him scant justice. Going in first he has rarely failed to make a good score, and once, if not more, he has carried his bat through the innings.  A sound batsman, he not only plays in neat style, but scores mostly from every kind of bowling and on all sorts of wickets, having excellent defence as well as good hitting powers.  He is also a fair medium pace change bowler and a sure field.

Condition is Very Good.
