CRICKET ENTHUSIAST
ARCHDEACON MONAGHAN
Archdeacon 11. Monaghan, uf St. Mary's, Tiniaru, returned to New; Zealand by the Alakura, after 16 months abroad. He was accompanied by Mrs. Monaghan. A former cricket representative, and still a keen follower of the game, Archdeacon Monaghan was made an honorary member of the M.O.C. during liis stay in England. He witnessed the second test match at Home, and while in Adelaide on his way out saw Don Ibadman knock up his big score of 357.
In England, Archdeacon and Mrs. Monaghan made a motor tour of the cathedral towns. They returned via the Mediterranean. At Naples they saw 20,000 Italian troops being embarked for (.he Abyssinian front, and all down the Mediterranean concentrated naval activity was in evidence. People in New Zea-\ land, however, took l,ho Abyssinian situation much too seriously, said the traveller. In England it was regarded without any of the popular apprehension so noticeable in New Zealand.
