1- Octavius Goldney Radcliffe.
The moving spirit in Wiltshire cricket at the present time, to O. G. RADCLIFFE belongs the rare distinction of having played for three different Counties in turn.  His first trial was with Somersetshire, which he left to identify himself with the County of the GRACES under a new redidential qualification.  His all-round cricket for some years was of great use to Gloucestershire, and as late as 1893, he was one of the best all-round players in the Gloucestershire Eleven.  The formation of a County Club for Wiltshire gave him the opportunity of hepling the cricket of his native County, and he has already done a lot of good work to perfect its organisation.  A batsman with great freedom, he scored very fast when in the mood, hitting al round well without any regard to style.  A slow round-arm bowler with a lot of work, he was at times also successful with the ball.

2- Thomas Marychurch Russell.
If not originally meant for a wicket keeper, RUSSELL took to that responsible position so kindly when the occasion arose, that the Essex authorities were only too willing to give him the opportunity of showing his fitness for the post.  That he has acquited himself well, with two such fast bowlers as Mr. KORTRIGHT and PICKETT to take, in any case speaks highly for his pluck.  Of this he has any amount, and indeed, considering the character of the bowling to which he has had to keep, he has been fortunate in maintaining his position with so few interruptions.  At times, too, he has proved himself to be a useful bat, and always does his best however the game is going.

Condition is Very Good.
