A young man gave a pint of blood to save the life of a young wpjna?i who was a passenger on the Shaw, Savjll steamer Athenic, whjeh brought a large number of immigrants to Auckland. It happened just before the ship reached the Panama Canal. The young woman was very ill, suffering from hemorrhage, and the ship’s doctor decided that she must have some blood in order to save life. Volunteers were called for and a fine healthy young fellow was selected by the surgeon. About a pint of blood was taken from the volunteer’s arm and transfused into the patient’s arm, with happy results. The patient got rapidly better, and by the end of the voyage was quite all right again.

Clem Hill, the great Australian bats- , man, who is now 43 years of age, has declined, the captaincy of the Australian cricket team to meet England . in the test matches, as he has retired from first-class cricket. In an interview lie states that the batting of the English side appears to be fully equal to that of previous teams, but be is doubtful about the bowling. The brunt of tli.e attack, will, lie thipks, fall on Barnes and Douglas, who after an interval of nine years must hay? lost some of tlieir nip and spin. Barnes be j considers to be the greatest bowler he ever faded. The Australian batting, i gays Hill, is strong, but the bowling is weak, especially if McDonald and Gregory are unable to play. A good, medi-um-paced right-handed bowler is badly needed. The team will probably be selected from the following players: Armstrong, Ransford, Park, Ryder, , Baring, Willis, Bremonger, Bardsley, ; Kellaway, McCartney, Andrews, Collins, Carter, Hendry, Whitty, Pellew, Me- J Donald and Gregory. i j An appeal lias been made by the ,
