Members of the varices cricket teams that have been playing in Palmerston during the past week, including the JNelson, North Taranaki- and. 'Nomad teams, were entertained by the Manawatu Cricket Association at a -moke concert at the Empire Hotel last night. Mr R. McNab presided. .• The toast list was a long one, and included the visitors, umpires, kindred sports, and a personal one, the heaith of Mr S. Greer, who is generally recognised as one of the founders of cricket in°the Manawatu. Mr Greer received numerous congratulatory references as to the great interest he displayed m the game and the practical help it received from him, speakers agreeing that if there were a few more enthusiasts of like calibre the game would maintain itself everywhere instead of languishing as it did in some places. Mr Greer's influence on local cricket was so fully recognised by Mr Hintz, of'•■ the Nelson team, that he extended a warm invitation to Mr Greer to take up his residence in that sunny town, and assured him that a warm welcome awaited him there. Mr Greer, who was received with loud applause, told several tales of cricket in the "olden daye," vhen he used to run a couple of miles each night after tea to the practice grounr. He expressed the opinion that if o.vket was played under the same cond rons now as then it would be practically non-existent. He pointed out that in these days no halfholidays were given twice a week, grounds were beyond description, and generally he contrasted the happy state of the cricketer of to-day with the one of an older generation. . The other toasts were air well received, whilst an excellent musical programme was given during the evening, including several amusing songs by Mr-Hintz, assisted with the chorus by the members of his team. Mr P. C. Hanley was at the piano and was cheered at the conclusion of the proceedings. The function was at the Empire Hotel, and the cupper provided was quite in keeping with Mr Devine'a reputation as a caterer, all speaking in high terms of the manner in which the repast was prepared.
