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

1- Lucius Henry Gwynn.
Irish by birth and Education, L. H. GWYNN'S cricket has been learned exclusively on Irish grounds. St. Columba College and Dublin University are, between them, entitled to the credit of his cricket training.  That they did their work well, his brilliant record for Dublin University is the best evidence.  His all-round cricket, during the visit of the University Eleven to England this summer, impressed some of the authorities at the Oval so strongly that he was invited to represent the Gentlemen against the Players on the Surrey ground.  A brilliant success it was, too, as those who saw his first innings of eighty can attest.  Watching the ball carefully he has a lot of strokes, and playing the game thoroughly takes a lot of getting out.  But besides this he is a very useful medium pace bowler as well as a fine field.  He played back for Ireland in the three Rugby International matches of 1893-94, so that he has also a high reputation as a Footballer.

2- Joseph Beckett Wostinholm.  
For twenty years or more the Secretary of the Yorkshire County Club, Mr. J. B. Wostinholm, has been an influential personality, not only in Northern but in County cricket generally.  Athletic Sports of all kinds have found in him a keen supporter, as his long and honourable connection with the Bramall Lane Ground at Sheffield has fully testified.  Cricket and football in particular in Sheffield owe very much to him, for he has been a central figure and played an important part in their development.  As Secretary of the Sheffield United he helped to lay the foundation of the prosperity of that club, last winter one of the best in the First Division of the Football League.  A thorough worker as well as a capable organiser, he has been particularly well qualified to occupy the responsible position he has so long held, as Secretary of one of the largest and most influential of County Cricket Clubs.

Condition is Very Good.
