1- Sydney Herbert Evershed.
Educated at Clifton College, like most of his brothers, S. H. EVERSHED'S cricket career has reflected great credit on his early training.  One of a brotherhood of athletes, he has been the most successful of them all as a Cricketer.   One of the mainstays of the Derbyshire Eleven for some years as a batsman, he has been additionally useful to them of late years as Captain.  Of the school of hitters he has been a brilliant exponent. Full of pluck and nerve he starts to score at once, and when in the mood is one of the most punishing batsmen.  A hard hitter al round the wicket, he takes a lot of moving once set.  A keen sportsman, he is a thorough worker on the field as well as at the wickets.  Moreover he plays the game in every sense.

2- William "Billy" Barnes.
For some fifteen years BARNES held high rank as an all-round player in a County Eleven, which included in turn such exceptional ability as ALFRED SHAW, MORLEY, SHREWSBURY, FLOWERS, ATTEWELL, GUNN, cum multis aliis.  For some ten seasons indeed BARNES was one of quite the best all-round Cricketers of the day.  A fast bowler, with an easy action, he took a lot of playing.  Mostly of an excellent length and coming back at times a good deal on certain wickets, he was remarkably effective.  In every part of the game he was equally good.  An excellent field, he was in addition one of the very best batsmen of his time.  His wrist play was especially strong, but he had a great variety of strokes and as he could hit well all round the wicket he scored fast when he got in.  If now obliged to give way to younger men, his brilliant services to Notts cricket for a long tern of years should not be forgotten.
