John Richard Mason & Harry Henry Stevens Trott. 1895. Cricketers.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "Famous Cricketers and Cricket Grounds, 1895," showing a Photograph on each side of the page for the following Two Cricketers.

1- John Richard Mason.
The records of Public School cricket in 1893, were full of the doings on the Winchester Captain, J. R. MASON, beyond a doubt the best School Player of the year.  Kent cricket, later in the same season, more than confirmed the promise of his Winchester form.   Two years in County matches have been enough to give him a leading position among the Amateurs of the day.  Standing some six feet two in his shoes, he makes full use of his height as a batsman, and with an upright and commanding style, not only plays hard but looks every inch a Cricketer.  His innings of 142 not out for Kent v. Oxford University, at Oxford, at the end of May, was a most brilliant display of free batting.  As a fast round-arm bowler has also been of some use for Kent.  PLayed for the Gentlemen against the Players, at the Oval, last year.

2- Harry Henry Stevens Trott.
UNDER the multiplicity of initials it might be, perhaps, difficult for some to recognise in G. H. S. TROTT, the Australian Cricketer, who is mostly known in England as well as the Colonies as "HARRY"  TROTT.  The last few Australian Teams have found in H. T. one of quite their best all-round Cricketers.  But more than that, with possibly one great exception, Australia has of late years had perhaps only one better player at all points.  With hardly a superior at point, HARRY TROTT has been one of the most useful bowlers Victoria has had, as well as one of the most effective batsmen in Australia.  A slow bowler with a big break from leg, he is, when on the spot, particularly deadly.  A difficult wicket to get too, as he follows the ball closely.  If not elegant in style. he takes a lot of getting out if allowed to get well set.  He has been in fact one of the most reliable and consistent batsmen of the later Australian Teams.

Condition is Very Good.
