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- Clement Eustace Macro Wilson.
On his form at Uppingham, C. E. M. WILSON was quite one of the best all-round players in Public School cricket in 1893.  As a bowler as well as a batsman he was equally successful.  Three times in succession he scored over a hundred, and his average for the season was over ninety for eight completed innings.  He was in fact a double first, as he was well at the head of the bowling averages, taking thirty-eight wickets at a cost of just under ten runs a piece.  Though not quite so successful last summer, partly owing to ill health, he went up to Cambridge with a very high school reputation.  If he did not realise this promise to the fullest extent in the recent Inter-University match, at all events his all-round cricket was of service to Cambridge.  A batsman with strong defence, he can also hit on occasions.  A fast right-handed bowler, he keeps a good length and knows how to vary his pace, as he showed in the Surrey match at the Oval this year, he can also bowl slow left hand.  He is qualified to play for Yorkshire.

2- Horace Gray.
The great lack in University cricket just of late has been in respect of the bowling.  Last year, by common consent, Cambridge was particularly weak in this department.  The great exception was H. GRAY, whose record was the best of, it must be admitted, a generally moderate lot.  This year appearances indicate that the Cambridge Eleven will have to depend in a great measure on him to bear the brunt of the bowling.  Being a local Cricketer, his success has been particularly popular at Cambridge.  A fast round-arm bowler, he keeps an excellent length, and just at first batsmen frequently find him very difficult.  Though pretty fast, he does not easily tire, as proved by the way he kept on during Surrey's long innings at the Oval in May.

Condition is Very Good.
