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

1- William Albert Woof.
Though for the last few years his duties as Coach at Cheltenham College have kept him out of County cricket, it is open to doubt whether even now Gloucestershire would not be materially strengthened by the addition of WOOF'S bowling.  For some ten years he did yeoman service to Gloucestershire cricket, and at one time he was the mainstay of the Eleven as a bowler.  At his best, indeed, there were few better men of his own particular style, in the South of England at any rate.  Left-hand slow, he kept a good length generally, and with a pitch to help the ball he was very difficult, as he was able to get some work on.  Left-handed also as a batsman, he frequently made runs when most wanted.  In saving them, too, he did his part well, being a very fair field.

2- Walter Wright.
Another Cricketer who has left Notts to  do good work for another County, WALTER WRIGHT had been a useful member of the Nottinghamshire Eleven for some time, before an engagement at Maidstone induced him to qualify in due course for Kent.  As an all-round Cricketer, he had from the first been above the average.  One incident in particular in his Notts career will be remembered by many.  It was in 1883, in the Gloucestershire match at Trent Bridge, when he was in a part of all the three days and carried his bat through the innings.  Since he has qualified for Kent, he has been one of its best all-round players.  A left-handed medium pace bowler, with a curl in the air, he is very deceptive.  A steady bat (right hand) and a splendid field.  One of the very best sprinters at one time, and winner of two Sheffield handicaps.

Condition is Very Good.
