NEW ZEALANDERS AT HOME

TEAM ENTERTAINED AT LUNCH

LONDON, May 6. “We are delighted that our first since 1 the formation of the club is to welcome the New Zealand cricketers/’ said. Lord Ha/fris at tlic British Sportsmen’s lunch’ at the Savoy. Lord Harris recalled his tour of New Zealand half a century ago, and laughingly recounted how they arrived at a country hotel -after a conference of Maori® had -been held there, and who had left only a tin of sardines and half a- bottle of whisky to feed eleven hungry tourists. They welcomed the team because the Dominion touched Britain’s imagination by the warmth of tiheir welcome to the Duke and Duchess of York. Their cricket tour was an enterprise evoking admiration. The players would fare all right if they forgot that they were facing great bowlers and kept a straight bat and a clear eye. They were on the eve of completing their cricket education, and their return would arouse enthusiasm in the game in New Zealand. _ ... Mr Lowry' said: * ‘We did fairly well.against the Australians, and after the fame gained' by our footballer® our people decided that they must win a place in cricket, and they decided that the right place to come and learn was England.*’ The Rt. Hon. L. C. M. S. Amery paid a tribute to New Zealand as a sportsman’s paradise and nursery. He was personally looking forward very keenly to his visit to New Zealand, in a- few months. He had a sneaking hope to get- off for a few days and enjov the delights of New Zealand life. "—Aus. Press Assn, and “Sun.”
