CRICKET.

I BOUND FOR ENGLAND. NEW ZEALAND TEAM DEPARTS. (passes i.Bsocii.Tioir musoram.) WELLINGTON, March 28. i The Rangitata sailed this afternoon for Southampton with the cricket team { and also a record number of thirdclass passengers for - Britain. j The cricketers were given a farewell prior t<i their embarkation- by the New ■ Zealand Cricket •Council... Mr A. T. Donnelly, chairman of the Management Committee of the ' NeTF: Zealand Council, said the sending ot the team was justified "in the national interests. It was strong in batting and. fielding, but the bowling had i been criticised as weak- He thought _it would be suflScient to, meet the require- | ments in England, since it would be | supported by good fielding. ... Mr Broad expressed the hope, that this would be- the ' -first of a series ot organised tours to be arranged. well ahead by> the ; Cricket Council. The team was fortunate, in having lxwry, Page, and Allcott, who represented the best elements in New Zealand cricket. T. C. Lowry, replying, said he _ regarded the team as •prospects than-that sent in 1927.. the field it would do its best, _ fight to the last, and off- the-, field,' ap-* least try to plaiv the game. •, 1 "LEVEL-HEADED MEN." The Wellington branch of the -Christ's College Old Boys' Association held a smoke concert on night to bid farewell " to, T. .C. LowTy, B. C. Blunt, and E. 0. Talbot on the y eve of their departure for England with the '-New Zealand 'cricket, team. Lowry 'was' -Unavoidably absent' owing to pressure qikteam business, but. Blunt and Talbot were, present, together M. L. Page/ of the Christchurch Boys' High School, who is vice-captain of the team.- ■ ; * Mr A. .P. Harper .was in./the chair. Apologies were received from the Hon. K. S. Williams and a number'of others. Mr Harper, in proposing the' toast of the - guests of honour, said ithat it was a matter .of great pvide that the' schodl liad such strong representation in the team, and he " hoped and knew would play the game both on ( and off.'the field. .The schools' old,, Hvals, Christchtirch.
