This fine player, the popular captain of Kent, is only just 27 years of age, having been born in March, 1874. He showed his abilities carly in life, being in the Winchester elovon for four yours, and being during three of those years the

best all-round man on the side. He was an

special thorn in the side of Eton, for though in his first year he went in last, he scored 15 rune without being got out. Illuess stopped him in 1691, but in 1892 he goorod 147 and 71; hecidos taking eight wickets, he and Loveson tower (H.D.G.) winning the match for their side.

One of Brown's finest feats was to score in censentive matches in '98, 300, 150, and 100. but he is probably mers proud of the 140 which allowed Stoddard's team to win the rabber match against the Australians at Melbourne in March, 1895, when he and Albert Ward (93) enabled the Buglishmen to wipe off 2018 razs with the loss
