By no reasonable stretch of tho imagination (writes the Sydney "Referee") can_ the team for New Zealand he roferred to as representative. It is just a holiday muster of those who can, and want to, pet away for the trip. Consequently w« must not expect too much. Mr. H. C. Evans's party, which roamed over Maorilant) some years back, was on similar lines. He took car* l to invite only men whom ho knew would be agreeable to pjbh other. As a rule, they do it differently when New Zealand sends an officially collected sido to Sydney. They are picked men, whoso chances of-success are more or less good. Sydney's bowlers will remember a forco from the Dominion many of them hnd to face .in, tlie past. The Aucklnnders . ."oranlly entertained 1 in Australia were _an*cxception. They came over on their own, for the trip, and not with any designs upon the prestige,, such as it is, of Australian bowling.
