1- Albert Neilson Hornby.
Known since his earlist days at Harrow, as "MONKEY HORNBY," cricketers have come to speak of A. N. HORNBY familiarly as such all the world over.  His record at Harrow was one of marked success as an all-round player.  For over twenty years, subsequently, no one except W. G. GRACE, played a more conspicuous part in first-class Cricket.  A resolute batsman, without a superior as a field, and withal a splendid judge of the game, he had all the qualities to make not only a fine Cricketer but a good Captain, as his brilliant record in Lancashire Cricket proved.  Like WOODS, STODDART, and McGREGOR, he gained International honours in Rugby Football as well as on the Cricket Field.

2- Frank Marchant.
A Man of Kent, and a good all-round sportsman besides, otherwise F. MARCHANT, Captain of Kent Eleven. At Eton and subsequently at Cambridge University he showed himself to be a resolute hitter, a character he has never lost.  When set he scores very fast and is a most dangerous batsman, hitting very hard all round the wicket.  Last year he fairly won the Lancashire Match for Kent at Manchester with a really finely played innings of 72 not out.  Has Captained the Kent Eleven during the last few years with marked success.  Was also by no means a bad Association Football Player.  Born on May 22nd, 1864, in Kent, he is about completing his 31st year.  Just over six feet in height.

Condition is Very Good.
