CRICKET CRACKS.
"SIXBAD" PROPHESIES.
(By "SINBAD.")
Oh! every cricket fan now likes to think of regions far away. That town of gardens and of bikes, where Auckland plays on Christmas Day, near where the muddy Avon flows—which stream is Canterbury's pride—the crack elevens will oppose, and willows will be nobly plied. The wild nor'-westers then may rage—as in that place they often do-1 the while the stumps of Boon or Page a ball from Bowley clatters through YVe ye surely sent a noble team to sh.w the Southerner's what what, for Allcott I could make my theme, or over Dacre rave a lot. And Canterbury will receive from Rowntree oft a Christmas box- a slow and saddened sigh they'll heave when he stumps Oliver or Cox What care we, then, for Patrick's men' They cannot strike our hearts with fear for I will prophesy again that this will sure be Auckland's year.
