DOMINION CRICKETERS.
NEW SOUTH WALES MATCH. HARD PRACTICE AT SYDNEY. (Received October 27, 9.20 p.m.) A. and N.Z. SYDNEY, Oct. 27. The New Zealand cricketers are practising hard and are shaping well. The weather and the outlook for the wicket for the four days' match against New South Wales, which begins to-morrow, are promising. The recent showery weather has assured a good pitch, though from the Australian standpoint it will be slightly on the slow side. In a speech at the official reception to the New Zealand team at the rooms of the Cricket Association to-day, Mr. Alderman McElhone said the authorities had not only generously, • but properly, decided to give 90 per cent, of the takings from the match against New South Wales to the New Zealand Council, in order to assist in reducing the financial loss on the English tour, which was about £3OOO. The Australian Board of Control intended, he said, to arrange a regular interchange of visits between Australia and New Zealand.
