Mr. John A. Dixon & Johnny Briggs. 1895. (Cricketers).

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

1- Mr. John A. Dixon.
An excellent all-round Cricketer, Me. J. A. DIXON would, perhaps, have been seen to even better advantage but for the cares of Captaincy of the Notts County Eleven during the last two or three years.  Still even with batsmen like SHREWSBURY, GUNN, FLOWERS, and BARNES he has generally held his own.  With plenty of resource, he has scored on every kind of wicket, and as he has never lacked nerve, has often proved useful when other, perhaps better, batsmen have failed.  A safe field too, as well as a useful change bowler at times.  As a Cricketer, singularly devoid of "side."  On his day a really good forward in Association Football.

2- John Briggs.
Though not a Cricketer of many inches, JOHN BRIGGS has not lacked physical advantages.  At least his five feet five inches in height have not prevented him from attaining a reputation as one of the most busy of Cricketers, and one of the most vigorous of hitters.  If he was born in Notts he learned his Cricket in Lancashire, with which County he has been actively associated since 1879.  Has besides represented the Players as well as England always with marked success.  A slow left-hand bowler without a superior, a most dangerous bat, and a most brilliant field for some years, no eleven has been representative of England without him.

Condition is Very Good.
