FOOTNOTES:
[1] [_Note._—It is perhaps only the writer’s personal modesty that
precludes him from giving the Australian an English companion in this
special class.—ED.]
[2] Since these words were written Bainbridge has resigned and J. F.
Byrne has filled his place.
[3] This was done by Leicestershire a few months back when Mr. Crawford
was made Secretary.
[4] The examination in bankruptcy of Mr. Gregory, the Australian
cricketer, in Australia last April, proves that this is an accurate
statement.
[5] Allusion may here be made to the match with the cumbrous title,
“Gentlemen of England who had not been educated at the Universities
_v._ Gentlemen of England who had been educated at the Universities
(Past and Present),” which was played at the Oval, 15th and 16th
June 1874. The Gentlemen “who had not” won by an innings and 76
runs, Messrs. W. G. Grace and Appleby bowling unchanged in the first
University innings, which only amounted to 58. The game was never
repeated.
TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES:
—Obvious print and punctuation errors were corrected.
—Superscripts are rendered as a^s.
