James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1895

P R E F A C E Thefact that the Annual has now reached its twenty-third year, will be sufficient proof not only of its vitality but of the popularity it enjoys amongall classes of Cricketers . Theincrease of cricket of the better class has necessitated a considerably increase in the responsiblites of those who have to cater for the cricket public . H o wthose whoconduct the Red Lillywhite have succeeded , the record of the book itself will show. Still to keep it up to date it is necessary that the particulars should be comprehensive in every way. In this we are dependent on secretaries of clubs . To them we would merely say that every information likely to be of interest to Cricketers will be heartily appreciated .
