  2. I stand corrected on this, the Association players were definitely issued on the 25th
    November 1899 as there is a mention of them within the paper.
    The Amateur players were issued on the 4th November 1899.
    Although there is no mention within the paper of these I have seen two copies of a binder and they have been in the same position attached to that weeks copy of the paper. I don't think that this is a coincidence.
