John Ernest Hill & Robert Henderson. 1895. (Cricketers.)

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

1- John Ernest Hill.
Among the excellent all-round players Mr. H. W. BAINBRIDGE has had to assist him during his Captaincy of the Warwickshire Eleven, none have done better service in making or even in saving runs than J. E., better known perhaps as ERNEST HILL.  Born and bred in the neighbourhood, Birmingham deserves all the credit of his cricket training.  Nearly, if not quite six feet, and of strong physique, he has every advantage as a batsman.  To a neat style, he adds not only sound defence but good hitting powers, and as a rule is a fairly fast scorer.  A sure and smart field, he is never out of place anywhere.  Unfortunately for Warwickshire, the claims of the legal profession prevent him playing regularly.

2- Robert Henderson.
If not a native of Surrey, HENDERSON'S connection with the County dates from a very early age.  He was a child in fact when his parents came to live in it.  When quite a boy, his promise as a Cricketer attracted the notice of a well-known supporter of the game at Beddington.  An engagement at the Oval, followed with, as the natural result, an immediate development of his cricket.  For the last ten years, if his records have not shown anything very brilliant or sensational, he has none the less proved himself to be a useful and thorough reliable batsman for Surrey.  He has always played correct cricket, and if there has been a lack of variety and resource in his batting, on many occasions he has been seen to advantage, particularly on treacherous wickets, when other batsmen have failed.  A medium lace bowler of good length, he has on occasions been useful in that department as well.  Some years ago he spent a short time in India, coaching the parsee Cricketers.

Condition is Very Good.
