O n Saturday, at noon, the Orient steamer “ Iberia ” left Plymouth, the first resting- place on her journey, which has Sydney as its terminal stage. In addition to her other passengers she carries the members of the two teams who are to tour in Aus­ tralia this winter, under the auspices of the Melbourne Club and the trustees of the Association Ground at Sydney respectively. Each party is composed of thirteen, but as the names were given in last week’s C r i c k e t it will be of no use to repeat them. Messrs. Vernon, Read, Bowden, Stoddart and O’Brien, with Abel and. Beaumont, joined the steamer at Tilbury, but Mr. G. A. Smith was the only member of the other team who ac­ companied them down the Channel. Mrs. Vernon and Mrs. O’Brien, who are also making the trip to Australia, were of the party which came down from London, as were Messrs. C . I. Thornton and P. J.de Paravicini, who took the opportunity of the run down to Plymouth to bid adieu to their friends. The other eighteen cricketers foregathered on Friday at the last point of departure, and more than one of them met with a hearty recep­ tion on their journey to Plymouth. Before he left his native town of Leicester, Pougher was entertained at a complimentary dinner at the Work­ ing Men’s Club and Institute, receiving a most enthusiastic welcome from over a hundred friends, A farewell dinner was also given at the Colonnade Hotel, Birmingham, to Mr. L. C. Docker, under the presidency of the Mayor, Sir Thomas Martineau, who presented the guest of the evening with a gold watch and chain, subscribed for by a number of his admirers. A large crowd assembled at the Birmingham station to speed Mr. Docker on his journey, and opportunity was taken to present Shrewsbury, who was on his way from Nottingham to Birmingham by the same train as the amateur, with a handsome writing desk, in appreciation of the brilliant cricket he had shown this summer. The tender “ Smeaton,” which carried the travellers to the steamer, left Plymouth soon a^ter ten o’clock on Saturday morning, and as the “ Iberia ” left the Sound a few minutes after noon the departing cricketers met with hearty cheers from a small party of friends, among whom were Mr. Ralph Docker, Messrs. Thornton, Paravacini and Dr. Smith, Mr. C. A. Smith’s father, who had accompanied his son down the Channel. BLACKHEATH JUNIORS v. BICKLEY JUNIORS. Played at Blackheath on September 14.
