His highest score was 31, made in the 1877-78 match against South Australia.
[4] In 1878, Butler travelled with the Australian team that went to England and after William Midwinter had left the tour to join Gloucestershire alongside Grace, Butler was invited to join the team, though in the event he was injured and played in only one non-first-class match, where he failed to score in either innings.
[2] Earlier in the season he had played in a couple of non-first-class matches with Grace at Newcastle upon Tyne.
[3] His wife, whom he married in 1882 and with whom he had six children, also played tennis for Tasmania against Victoria.
