1- Manley Colchester Kemp.
Captain of the Harrow and Oxford Elevens in turn, MANLEY  KEMP has had the best training for the highest position in County cricket.  One of three brothers, each of the in his time Harrow Captain, "The Bishop," as he is known familiarly to his friends on the cricket field, made his first appearance at Lord's, in the Eton and Harrow Match of 1875.  A plucky bat even then, he was besides a wicket keeper very much above the average of Public Schools.  Since 1880, he has kept wicket for Kent, as well as occasionally for the Gentlemen, with marked success.  With great nerve, he has generally been reliable for runs at a crisis when others have failed.  As a wicket keeper, he has had few superiors, standing up fearlessly to every kind of bowling.  He was one of the pair to represent Harrow, and Oxford at Raquet, and also did good service for the University as a half-back at the Association Game.

2- Charles Thomas Biass Turner.
If SPOFFORTH was known to Australians as "The Demon Bowler," C. T. B. TURNER, one of his successors in the rpresentation of New South Wales, had his own special sobriquet of "The Terror."  Nor was the title in his case a mere fashion of speaking.  For some years he was not only the best bowler in New South Wales but in Australia, and one of the best in the world.  His doings with the later Australian Teams are well known.  For a short time he would have challenged comparison with GEORGE GIFFEN, as the best all-round CRicketer in Australia.  A bowler of fastest pace, getting up very quickly off the pitch, he required very careful playing at all times.  Added to this, he had great command of the ball, and when the wicket helped him at all, made the ball come back a lot.  At his best was a dangerous bat and a reliable field.

Condition is Very Good.
