Drs. to Stoke		Messrs W. C. Cuff, G. Evans, & T. Percy.

Clayton (Wolves)	Mr. W. C. Cuff gave a good report of this player
		& thought he should be seen again. Mr. A. Coffey was
		not so impressed with him, & thought Morris, (R. B.) & Thompson (I. L.) were
		excellent. Both Directors were agreed that Galby
		(I. R.) had given a splendid exhibition.

Payne (Luton)		Mr. E. Green considered that this player
		had done badly, taken throughout the match. He
		also reported that when watching Hullett, he had
		not been unduly impressed by his play & Mr. J.
		Fare was of a similar opinion.

Cattin (Shef. Wedy.)	Sec'y. stated that this player had had
		a big share in keeping his team from an overwhelming
		defeat at Stoke.

Crook (B'burn)		Neither Mr. G. Evans nor H. Hart thought
		this F. B. was quite good enough.

Casins (Newcastle)	Mr. T. W. Lake did not recommend this
		player, but was very much impressed by Docking (I. L.).

E. Taylor (Wolver'ton)	Similarly, Mr. H. Lyon did not fancy
		the player he had especially watched, but was pleased
		with the form of Dowen (R. B.) of the same team.

Scottish Players	Mr. Cochran reported well of Carabine,
		(R. B.) of 3rd Lanark, & Logan (R. B.) of Hibs.

N. E. Players		Mr. W. Laine gave a good report of
		Humble, L. B. of Darlington. He also gave some in-
		formation regarding the attention to Silk, Southport,
		of certain League Clubs.
