The Yass correspondent of , the Sydney Telegraph writes: "It ie a rare thing to find a team of cricketers belonging to one family, or bearing the same name. Yet in a match here the other day one eleven was made up of the Horton family, and, in addition, the manager, umpire, and scorer of. the team were also named Horton, although they did not belong to the oite family. In an age when every one is on the look-out for records, Yass claims that a cricket eleven, manager, scorer, and umpire, all bearing the one surname is unparalleled. The Horton family are. residents of Wargiela, and they are fine sportsmen. They met the Yass club, and won by 58 runs."
