Llewellyn, the nay Humpshire professional, scored 216 against the South Africans, while the Abel of the north, Tyldesloy, surpassed himself by scoring 221 for Laattahire v Notts. Since the advent of June we have seen S. R. Kinneir, the Corsham amateur whe qualified as a professional for Warwickshire, laboriously compile 215 against Lancashire. One of the South Africans, M. Huthorne, amassed 209 for the South African combination against Cambridge University. About the same time Mr. C. B. Fry was punishing the Leicestershire bowling to the extent of 244.

Warwickshire has long been proud of Lilley as a home-grown product, and it must not be forgotten that in 1895 he was presented with a gold medal raised by public subscription limited to shillings to commemorate the fact that he was the first Warwickshire barn man to coma- plete 1,000 runs in a season. Only last week he took his beneft at Edgbaston, and despite unfavourable weather on the first day he is sure to receive at least £600,- Born at Holloway Head, Birmingham, Lilley first saw the light in November, 1867.
