J. P. WHITSIDE - photograph by R. W. THOMAS, 41 Cheapside, London, E. C.

Text below print as follows - 'ORIGINALLY tried for Lancashire, WHITESIDE migrated to Leicestershire, with the full consent of the Authorities at Manchester, with a view to qualify for Leicestershire, then much in want of a wicket keeper. That he has filled that responsible position with credit the records of Leicestershire cricket during the last three or four years will bear witness. With any amount of pluck he stands up to every kind of bowling, and with the same confidence, and if not demonstrative as the manner of some wicket keepers is, he is eminently safe, and as a rule very few mistakes are registered against him. If few scores of any account have been recorded to his credit, he has frequently shown himself to be a useful batsman at a crisis.'
