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

1- W. G. Grace, junior.
If there is little or nothing to recal his father's style, still W. G. GRACE, jun., is no unworthy son of the greatest Cricketer the world has ever known.  Educated at Clifton College, he was not only one of the most useful players in the Eleven there, but also one of the best all-round athletes.  His Captaincy in 1893, was marked with great success, individual as well as collective, and he went up to Cambridge fairly certain of his blue last year.  In this he was disappointed, and indeed, though he scored well in other matches, even this summer it was for a long time doubtful if he would be successful.  His ultimate inclusion in the Cambridge Eleven gave general satisfaction, and he fairly justified his selection by two useful scores in the Inter-University match.  As a Cricketer, he is handicapped in having to wear spectacles.  Still, if not an elegant bat he has a lot of strokes and generally scores fast.  Over medium pace and with a high delivery, his bowling is at times effective.

2- Alick Handford.
One of the most encouraging features of 1894, for Notts, a year full of disappointments for that County, was the introduction of HANDFORD as a bowler at the latter part of the season.  His remarkable performance against Gloucestershire at Trent Bridge at the end of July, did very much indeed to give to Notts a victory in a single innings-one of their four successes of the year.  Altogether he showed himself to be a decided acquisition to the side ; and indeed there seemed to be every reason to predict for him a future above the ordinary.  With the object of securing his services for Notts, an engagement was obtained for him at Lord's.  On the fast wickets which have prevailed this summer, he has hardly been as successful as could have been expected.  He bowls fast round well over head and with a nice easy delivery, has in him the making of a useful bowler.

Condition is Very Good.
