An interesting little ceremony took place at the Basin Reserve on Saturday, when the members of the Phoenix Cricket Club, in saying farewell to their brilliant young batsman, Mr. Fred Midlane, presented him with a handsome travelling bag, suitably inscribed, and with a ticket of membership to the Sydney Cricket Ground Pavilion. Mr. Benbow acted as spokesman in a neat little speech, to which Mr. Midlane suitably responded. Rousing cheers were given by the club as the departing cricketer left to catch the Sydney steamer.
