ALL BLACKS’ TOUR.
FREMANTLE LEFT.
WHOLE TEAM WELL
FREMANTLE, May 8,
The All Blacks started their four thousand mile trip to Durban to-day. Tho voyage so far has been enjoyable. Ali the team are fit. • Tho sick have fully recovered from the effects of tho strange malady that was contracted on the trip from Sydney to Hobart. Hard training has been carried out at ports. “Physical jerks” are taken daily on shipboard. At Adelaide the team played representatives of the Euripides—the steamer they are travelling by—at cricket and soccer. They won the cricket by an innings, and the soccer by four goals to two. The team is eager to cancel tho first match in South Africa—at Capetown on Jujio 2—as it is thought that two days is not enough time to find land legs and to make final arrangements.
