COMING HOME.

All Black Team Arrives At Albany. MELBOURNE MATCH SATURDAY (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) ALBANY, September 23. The All Blacks arrived at Albany yesterday morning by the Ceramic after a fairly rough passage across the Indian Ocean. The vessel has been anchored in the roadstead for the past 24 hours, having been unable to berth because of the rough weather. The delay is not likely to affect the vessel’s connection with Svdnev.

The match against Victoria set down for September 27 has now been postponed until the 29th. All the members of the party are well and are looking forward to their arrival home. The Ceramic sailed for Adelaide yesterday afternoon.
