A GREAT CRICKETER.

DEATH OF MR. AN. HORNBY.

In chronicling the death of Mr. A. N., Hornby, the famous Lancashire cricket captain, who died very suddenly, a London paper saya

The late Albert Neilson Hornby, known to his intimates as Monkey," was a great cricketer, a glorious Rugby foot ballor, one of tho oldest riders to hauna in Cheshire, a clever shot, and a man who had a terrible pair of fists, writes: Mr. J. A. H. Catton.

He had the honour of being captain of England in both Test and Rugby foot- ball international matches, a distinction confined to a very small minority.

"MONKEY" AND "MAN FREDLY,” Monkey," with his bare head, will be well remembered on the great cricket grounds of this country, and perhaps. most of all for his spirited batsmanship. No bowling ever invented could inspire him with a tremor of doubt. He looked: upon bowling as something to hit, and be never flattered a bowler. He made n' stroke at every ball, and if he hit the ball ever so little a distance, he was off for a run, No one could restrain bis daring and impetuosity between~ the. wickets. :

R G. Barlow, who went in first with Hornby for nearly 20 years, was known as Man Friday," and their partner ship, sometimes tragic sometimes comic. always held the interests of the ring, because no man on earth ever knew what Hornby would do, and what would hap pen to Barlow. Their association bas been immortalised in the

poem of Francis Thompson in the refrain:-

As the run stealers flicker to and fro..

To and fro;

0.my Hornby and my Barlow long ago.

LITTLE CRICKET WONDER.

Mr. Hornby came from an old family. of Lancashire cotton lords associated. with Blackburn and was stat to Harrow School. He played in the great match

at Lord's against Eton in 1884, when his weight, with hat and ball in the scale, was under six stone, His batting on that occasion earned for him the description of a little cricket wonder.

از کریمی

Mr. Hornby was elected a member of the M.C.C in 1872, and went to America with B. A. FitzGerald's cricket team in that year, and also visited Australia with Lord Harris's team. in 1878-9. He took part in three Test matches against Australia, but was never on the win- ning side, and it will be recalled he was the captain at the Oval when Australia won by 7 runs in August, 1882.

In the same year he captained the English Rugby XV. against Scotland at Manchester. As a Rugby player he was capped nine times, and played at half- back, three-quarter, and full back.

Probably the most curious "accomplish- ment of Mr. Hornby was that he could play cricket loft-handed or right handed, so ambidextrous was he, and he could children of one to five, nine hours from work, romp with the youngsters and get into the Godowds of the Hongkong and kick it Rugby football accurately with
