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

1- Charles Aubrey Smith.
Known as "Round the Corner Smith," by reason of the peculiarity of the run he takes in the act of delivering the ball, C. A. SMITH has had a varied experience, as he has played cricket in Australia and South Africa as well as in England.  Charterhouse, Cambridge University, and Sussex were the three stages of his English cricket.  With Major WARTON'S Team in Africa, as well as with SHREWSBURY'S combination in Australia, his record as an all-round Cricketer was of the best.  A fast round-arm bowler with a high delivery, and one not easy to watch, he was generally successful, and on wickets that helped the ball at all, particularly so.  With a considerable advantage in height, he had also a neat style as a bat, and as he played the ball hard, and never lacking pluck, he was generally safe for runs, hitting freely all round the wicket.  He was one of the best forwards at Association Football for some years.  On the Stage he is also making a name for himself.

2- Walter Troup.
Gloucestershire cricket, according to all appearance, had found a young player of great promise eight years ago when W. R. TROUP was introduced into the County Eleven.  A score of sixty-two against Yorkshire was a pretty good performance for a first year.  Nor was this form belied in the following season.  On the contrary, his defensive cricket proved of use on several occasions, and the earlier matches of the year he was of great use.  Service in India kept him out of County cricket till last summer, and then he was a little out of luck.  A batsman with unwearing defence, he would in all likelihood have developed into a really good bat had he been able to keep his place in English cricket.  As it is he is decidedly above the average as a bat as well as a field.

Condition is Very Good.
