TWO PLAYERS COMPLIMENTED. [BY TEtEGRAPD.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
CHEISTCHUKCH. Friday.
In replying to-day at the civic reception to the M.C.C. team, Mr. MacLaren said:—"There are two things which have impressed us, and which I should like to mention. One is that you have a far greater difficulty in selecting the strongest possible side than we have in England. If I may say it without offence, we all considered that one player named Lambert in the Wanganui match was a very fine batsman indeed. He played two 'thunderirtgly* good innings against us. "If you have got others like him, I can say that you will beat us, and beat us very easily. If New Zealand kept up to anything like the standard of its best players it should win. They had been 'frightfully impressed' with Lambert, and with the bowling of C. Alcott in Auckland- Both these men were really good players." . Playing for the Minor Associations at Wanganui Lambert made 66 and 63 runs respectively against the M.C.C. team.
