Cricket 1909

126 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 13, 1909. was not at all sure that the others had not been wiser than he in that respect. Although he had played cricket he could not claim to be a cricketer. Sir Edwin’s words reminded him of a story told at a dinner that took place in London when Toole, ths actor, was going to America. They called upon Toole to give a speech, after Sir Henry Irving had made a speech proposing his health. Toole replied that he could not make a speech, but would tell them a story. “ The other night, ” said Toole, ‘ ‘ I dreamt that I was dead, and went up to the gates of Paradise, and after rapping at the door St. Peter came out. 4Let me in, St. Peter,’ I said, and St. Peter replied, ‘ No, we cannot have actors here. ’ I went and sat down on the doorstep, and presently saw Sir Henry Irving come up. To my surprise St. Peter opened the gate and let him in. I went up to St. Peter and said, ‘ You told me you did not let in actors, but you have just let in Sir Henry Irving. ’ ‘ Oh, my friend,’ said St. Peter, ‘ Sir Henry Irving is no actor.’ ” (Laughter). He felt very much the same in regard to cricket, as, although he might play cricket, he was afraid St. Peter would hardly call him a cricketer. (Laughter). It was the last occasion he would have the opportunity of taking part in a cricket-match in South Australia, and he would like to take the opportunity to say how deeply indebted he and his staff were to those, friends, specially Mr. George Giffen, for the pleasure they had afforded him at the practice nets. It was a great pleasure to play in company with that distinguished cricketer. Mr. Giffen, although a busy man, had constant’y made time to come down and coach them with the assistance of his advice, skill, and great experience. He would also like to say how much they were indebted to Messrs. Wright and Jarvis, not only for their help in matches, but also at the nets. (Applause ) Many a pleasant morning they had been bowled out very quickly by these gentlemen, and those happy mornings had contributed largely to increase the pleasure of their stay in South Australia. (Cheers.) He wanted too, to thank Mr. John Creswell for his kindness in placing the Oval at their dis­ posal, and for meeting them in every way possible. PUBLIC SCHOOL AVERAGES, 1908.
