James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1894

P R E F A C E . 8 7 7 9 7 0 "GOOD wine needs no bush " has been aptly said . Like good wine the Annualhas been mellowed by age. The best testimonial to its quality is the approval of succeeding generations of cricketers . Since its first appearance , twenty-two years ago, the " Red Lillywhite " has never looked back. The increase of late years in the popularity of really good cricket has increased the scope of the Annual in proportion . Still the object of its promoters , to provide a comprehensive record of each cricket season , has been faithfully fulfilled . This is of itself the best guarantee that no efforts will be spared to keep it thoroughly up to date, not only as a work of reference for cricketers , but as a readable compendiumof the year's cricket . 1 8 5 - 3 0 1 8 6а т а л д и е в
