VISITING CRICKET TEAM The extreme heat and bright, sunshine on {Saturday did nothing to less-en the enthusiasm of ardent sports followers who assembled in Cook’s Gardens for the cricket match between the English women's cricket touring team and players of the Wanganui district. The game attracted a huge crowd of Onlookers and some excellent cricket was witnessed. The most popular van , ’age points were on the hill under the shade of the trees and at the side of the stand. Some people chure Io stand roiiml the boundary fence and others favoured the pavilion and the stand opposite. Bui whatever the place chosen the heat was so trying that the men were glad to remove their coats and they enjoyed the game the better lor being free ot a cumbersome garment that was never meant for the tropical heat experienced. The players and members of the association were entertained at tea by Airs. W. L. Young, patroness of the United Club. {She was assisted by Airs. K. H. Cave (president. Mrs. D. Brown (secretary), Alesdames Mullock, Chalkley, Chelley, Dunscathc, Aliases !’• Corby, E- Bullock and Lockett. Not a little of the interest centred round the neat and businesslike apparel worn by the English players. Their Uniforms, which were favourably commented on, consisted of short/white pleated divided skirts, with pla n shirt blouses with small sleeves and shirt collar, white caps and long white stockings. The material used is a very fine aertex and the uniforms arc well-cut. this is most noticeable in the divided skirts, which are beautifully designed and made in a-half circular style, fall-

ing gracefully into a bell-like shape to just alkjve the knees. The long white lisle stockings are of a fine texture, not usually seen these days. Tennis players, bowlers and cricket ers were present to watch the game and many arrived after the race meeting, while a large number came from Pa rikjuo. Among those in the pavilion were the Mayor (Air. N. G. Armstrong), Air. and Airs. F. Treloar, Aliss J. Treloar, Air. and Airs. B. Delves, Air. and Airs. R. L. Thompson, Air. D. McFarlane, Dr. G. J.
