Maitland Hathorn, who was born at Pietermaritzburg on April 7, 1878, died in Johannesburg on May 17. At his best he was a good and sound batsman and during his first two visits to this country was very successful. During his three tours he batted as follows in all matches:--

1907 | 40 | 4 | 117 | 584 | 16.22 |
It was on the recommendation of Lohmann that he was included in the 1901 team, for which he scored 103 on his first appearance and headed the averages. His hundreds in great matches were as follows:--
