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

1- Alexander Josiah Webbe.
Since 1874, when as Harrow Captain, he bore the whole brunt of the batting against Eton at Lord's, A. J. WEBBE has been a name to conjure with in cricket.  Subsequently Captain of the Oxford Eleven he was selected while there to represent the Gentlemen against the Players at the Oval as well as Lord's.  It was in this year (1875), that W. G. and he put on 203 for the first wicket of the Gentlemen against the Players at Lord's.  For twelve years he has been the most reliable batsman in the Middlesex Eleven.  He represented Harrow and Subsequently Oxford at Racquets.  Moreover he would have been a good Association Football Player if he had been able to give more time to the game.

2- Alec Hearne.
Middlesex lost a good all-round Cricketer in ALEC HEARNE, who like his other brothers, G. G. and FRANK, was born at Ealing.  Of the trio, all whom have played for Kent by residence, ALEC is the best all-round Cricketer beyond a doubt.  His slow round-arm bowling has won many a match for Kent, and some of his performances have been of quite an exceptional character.  With a break from leg and at the same time keeping an excellent length, he has always required careful watching.  If at times a rather tedious bat to watch, his defence has been on occasions invaluable to the side.  One of the best all-round Cricketers of the day.  Has also been engaged at Lord's for some years.

Condition is Very Good.
