Mr Charles Beal, manager of the Australian team, when interviewed by a representative of the Melbourne ‘ Daily .telegraph ’ on the events of his team, speaking of tho Tasmanian representative, said : I am not prepared to say whether we will take him or not. We heard great accounts of him from all the members of Mr Vernon s team, against whom he made 99 at Hobart. Some of them say that they never saw a liner innings than he played. There was not much chance to sec what he was capable of doing in Sydney, in consequence of the awful state of the wicket; but he made second top score, and if he docs anything at all in the ensuing matches here, wc shall most certainly take him with i.s.” The Committee of the Dunedin Cycling Club met last evening and arranged to hold a club run to Waihola on the 23rcl March Anniversary Day; the inn to take the shape of a picnic, as the lake will be crossed in boats and lunch spread on the other side. The run is likely to be the biggest one the club have had. It was also arranged to have a race meeting on the Oval on a small scale on Saturday afternoon, April 6, when

a race for those who have never won a prize, and one or two other races, Will be run, for which good prizes will be given.
