M'Donnell in one innings, 8 -2 -2 8 -0 . W ith the completion of the real work of the tour the various members dispersed to various parts on pleasure intent. Some crossed the border to visit Caledonia stern and wild, while others went further afield, undertaking a flying visit to the Continent, among them Blackham and Jones, who hurried off to Ger­ many and “ did” the Rhine, as well as it could be done in the short time allowed. Before the dispersal, though, a very pleasant and enjoyable function had to be undertaken in the shape of a banquet in honour of the team at Bailey’s Hotel, on Sept. 25. The host was Mr. F. H. Dangar, the President of the New South Wales Association, a keen supporter and liberal patron of cricket. No less than 212 guests accepted Mr. Dangar’s invitation, Admiral Tryon, General Freemantle, who commanded the Guards in the Soudan, Sir Samuel Wilson, Sir James Carrick, with several English cricketers, including Lord Harris, Messrs. W . W. Read, M. P. Bowden, G. F. Vernon, T. C. O’Brien, C. F. H. Leslie, and C. W. Alcock, attending to do honour to the Australian team, most of whom were present. In responding for the Australians, Mr. P. S. McDonnell, the Captain, said they had received the utmost consideration from the English public. They had always received the kindest attention on English fields. He only hoped that all Australian teams would receive the same considerate treatment both from the public and the Fourth Estate which the 1888 team had received. In responding for the “ Cricketers of England,” proposed by Mr. McDonnell, Lord Harris said he had almost left cricket behind him, but as a part of the athletic programme, he yielded to no one in an affection for the game. On the part of the Australians there was no attempt to strain a point in the game, as was the case so frequently with English teams. His lordship cited the case of the match at Portsmouth. “ What athletics are doing for the strengthening of the British race no man can say,” continued his lordship, and so long as cricket was a game, he couldn’t see why (as had been said) the next visit of the Australians should be deferred for four years. Saturday, Oct. 13, witnessed the departure of the team from Plymouth homeward bound. With the exception of Messrs. Trott, Turner, and Beal,who went down by train to Plymouth, and Bonnor, who is staying on in England, the Orient steamer “ C uzco 91 carried the various members from Gravesend on the previous day. There was a good muster of friends at Fenchurch Street station to see them off, but only a small party went on to Tilbury to see them on board, among them being Mr. C. W. Alcock and Mr. C. Lord, the assistant manager of the team. All being well, the team are due in Adelaide about the middle of this month, and it is intended that they shall play in several matches in Sydney, Melbourne, and at other places before they finally disband. The management of the details for the departure of the team, we may add, was in the hands of Mr. J. A. Railton, the managing director of Swan & Leach, Limited, who attended to the whole travelling arrange­ ments of the team, as of its immediate predecessor. P a llin g sw ick C lu b.— This Club will hold a smoking concert at St. James’ Hall to morrow (Friday) evening at 8 o’clock. The programme will include songs by Sydney Beckley, Herbert Nash and Herbert Schartan, readings by Mr. W . G. Reynolds, as well as a ventriloquial entertainment by Mr. John Le Hay, and banjo selections by Mr. Arthur Tilley and banjo band. NEXT ISSUE, NOVEMBER 29.
