CRICKET

M.C.C. TEAM SAILS FOR N.Z. A CORDIAL SEND-OFF. PRESENTATIONS TO OFFICIALS. Sydney, March 16. At a farewell gathering to the English cricketers by the New South Wales Cricket Association, Messrs Warner, Palairet and Jardine were hauded souvenirs of their visit, iu the shape of large cigarette boxes of Australian polished wood adorned with appropriate emblems. Jardine, in a happy acknowledgment, said that he regarded the gifts more as a tribute to the great side he was privileged to lead. He added that the visits of Australian cricketers to England were always most welcome. The team had a cordial send-off by the Maunganui this afternoon. Mr W'arner in a farewell message radioed from the Maunganui to-night, said: “Australia has played a most important part in my cricketing life, but to-night we part forever.” HASTINGS COMPETITIONS.
