THE AUCKLAND CRICKETERS.

THE PASSAGE SOUTH.

[BY TKLUQKAPiI. — CORRESPONDENT.] CimiSTOfIOKOU, Wednesday. CRICKETERS as a rule are nob good sailors, bub our representatives about) hold the record. Mills, Lawson, Hollo, King, Fowke, Lundon, McKinney, and Mr. A. E. Whitnker, who accompanies the team, all succumbed the first day, and sought the seclusion which the cabin grants. However, when Wellington was reached (and strange to say there was no wind), the boys hurried off to the Basin Reserve, and had some practice. Of course the form shown was not of the best, bub quite passable. Mills says he will never go to sea again, so I suppose we must find a billet for him here. We only arrived in time to catch the eleven o'clock express for Duncdin. Donedik, Wednesday. The team arrived at Dunedin at 9 p.m. A larce number of Dunedinites welcomed us, including most of the local representatives. We all turned in early anxious to get a night's rest. Wo begin practice early in the morning at the Cariobrook ground, Kallonder's fame has preceded him, the local players being anxious to see the giant perform. The local team is considered very strong, the best obtainable. Our team is staying at the Criterion and has very comfortable quarters.
