William Henry Patterson. & Joseph Hugh Brain. 1895. (Cricketers)

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

1- William Henry Patterson.
Another of the many excellent Cricketers Harrow School has contributed to first-class cricket, W. H. PATTERSON showed both at Oxford University and subsequently for Kent, how well he had profited by his early training.  His score of 107 not out for Oxford against Cambridge, at Lord's, in 1881, when he carried his bat right through the innings after batting for five hours, is one of the few hundreds made in the Inter-University match.  His record for Kent has been even more brilliant.  For some years he was one of the mainstays of the side in batting in the later matches of the season, which were all that his professional duties allowed him to play.  One of the very best defensive batsmen of his day, and on a bowler's wicket really without a superior.  Captained the Kent Eleven for a time, but was able to play very little last year.

2- Joseph Hugh Brain.
A Contemporary of K. J. KEY at Clifton College, J. H. BRAIN was also at Oxford University at the same time as the Surrey Captain.  Trained in a good school, he not only showed excellent cricket both at Clifton and Oxford, but also Captained the Eleven at each in turn and with the same ability.  A batsman with a neat style and a great variety of hits, he subsequently did good service for Gloucestershire Eleven for a time.  Since his retirement from Gloucestershire cricket he has been of material use in the development of the game in Glamorganshire.  The season he has scored heavily in Club matches in South Wales.  A fine field anywhere, he was, perhaps, at his best in the Country, being a safe catch.

Condition is Very Good.
