A NOTABLE EXIT.
“Rhodes walked to the wicket acclaimed all the way by the crowd,” writes “Cricketer” ill tile “Manchester Guardian.” “We were Watching llim for the last, t ine at Old Trafford. He did not stay long, for he played a bumper front McDonald down into his stumps. Then he departed from our sight with the crowd still acclaiming his greatness. As ho walked up the pavilion steps a thousand 'folks were saying, ‘Never again will Old Trafford see him.’ It was an incredible thought —Rhodes gone for ever from Lancashire and Yorkshire cricket—the eternal, legendary Rhodes! A page of-his-tory was turned over at Old Trafford, a page written not for an age but for all time.”
