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

1- Robert Abel.
No better illustration of the success, which is bound to attend continuous and conscientious work on the cricket field, could be furnished than in the record of the cheery little Surrey player, ABEL.  Self-educated as a CRicketer, and without physical advantages, there was little to recommend him on his first appearance at the Oval, some fifteen years ago.  None the less, by sheer application, he has forced himself quite into the front rank as an all-round Cricketer.  Though only five feet five in height, he gets over the ball well, and to excellent defence adds fair powers of hitting.  At short slip, has been of great service to Surrey, as well at times as a slow round-arm bowler.  Has been both to Australia and South Africa with English Teams.  A cheery Cricketer, always trying, he is a great favourite with the public, to whom he is known familiarly as "The Guv'nor."
