scores OF 1856 against Cambridge. f35, not out
against Rugby and los against Marylebone. He
also made big innings of IS against Shrewsbury
81 against both Marlborough and Repton and "a
against Malvern
The work OF d. H. Adams with both bat and
ball was the next most brilliant feature OF tho
teams work The Belmont man was second in the
batting averages with record OF 900 for nine
teen completed innings. and he did ty far the best
bowling of any member OF the team. He. too was
credited with century his innings OF l23 against
HALEY bury giving him the much-coveted three
figures He also did admirably with the willow
against Elton, when he compiled 81. and no got
