The greatest personality cricket has ever known is the subject of this evening's talk. William Gilbert Grace was born in Gloucestershire in 1848, and for over thirty years dominated the realm of cricket. On seven occasions he knocked up over 1,000 runs and took 100 wickets in the same season ; and his skill as a fieldsman was no less remarkable. ' W. G. ' in his own lifetime became a legend and a romance.
