"He would not tell me what it was," Mr Hcnson said, "but ho admitted that it was very alluring. His batting and bowling and fielding had been marvellous up to the timo I left, and the English people rcaliso what a wonder he is. It would be just as well if some of the men of means in Australia would come forward and save Australia from losing such a player."
