DEPARTURE OF 1926 ALL BLACKS.
Members of the 1926 New Zealand Rugby football team, which is to tour New South Wales and Victoria, left Wellington for Sydney by the Ulimaroa to-day. A large crowd of Rugby football enthusiasts gathered at the Queen's Wharf to bid the All Blacks farewell, and as the Ulimaroa left the wharf rousing cheers were given for the departing footballers. Those present on the wharf included members of the New Zealand Rugby Union Executive and the Wellington Rugby Union Committee.
Amongst those who bade farewell to the team was the Prime Minister (the Right Hon. J. G. Coates).
