Arthur Hawthorne was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in four first-class matches in New Zealand for Wellington between the 1906–07 season and 1909–10.[1] [2]
Hawthorne was educated at Mount Cook School in Wellington.[3] He played club cricket in the city for the Gas Company side as a batsman,[4] He captained the side during the 1905–06 season, during which he was described as "young and full of energy",[5] and by the start of the following season was a member of the club's match committee.[6]
Considered by the press to be "one of the foremost of Wellington's batsmen",[7] Hawthorne made his representative debut in a February 1905 match between the touring Australians and a side of 15 players fielded by Wellington.[8] His first-class debut came in December 1906 against the touring MCC side at the Basin Reserve. He scored 11 runs in his only innings on debut before recording a pair against Canterbury later in the season and a duck in another match against MCC. His final first-class appearance came against Canterbury in January 1910, with Hawthorne making his highest first-class score of 18 runs and taking his only first-class wicket during the match.[2]
