CHRISTCHURCH CRICKET.
By Telegraph.—-Special to "Star.")
CHRISTCHURCH, this day.
Mr C. Bannerman, the once famous Australian cricketer, who has been engaged to act as coach at Christ's College, arrived here yesterday. He looks particularly young for his years, and in excellent fettle. He has of late done a considerable amount of coaching ton Queensland and New South ".Vales, as we'll acting as umpire i.n test matches. In reply to a question concerning the proposed importation of a bowler by the clubs in the city, he said .here could be no doubt as to the benefits that must result from such a course. He was aware that the cricketers of Canterbury and of the whole colony had still plenty or cricket to learn, and they could not d-o better than place themselves In the hand? of men of experience. It had been practically decided that M-cßeth, of Sydney. should be engaged by the local association and they could not get a better bowler As an all-round left-hand bowl.r lie had few equals, and his work in Sydney was very highly thought of. Severed members of Maclaren's team bar. told him that they had formed a very nigh ojiir-ian of Mcßeth's bowling.
