In his great prim© of a few seasons back Trumper had a■■ following■ of his own,. Thousands upon thousands followed this wonderful player around the various grounds in Sydney, Saturday after Saturday, eager not to miss a probablo glorious afternoon's enjoyment, watching tlio wizard deal with the best bowlers as though . they were schoolhpys.

We will undoubtedly, in the future, soo many fino batsmen, but ono doubts if another Trumper will arise. We must consider ourselves fortunate in having the opportunity— perhaps tho last —of.seeing him again.
