WELLINGTON.
THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS. August G. Mr. John Conway, writing to a member of the New Zealand Times staff respecting the contemplated visit of the Australian cricketing team to New Zealand, says :—"Yon may calculate that we shall be in New Zealand, if negotiations end successfully, early in January. The Australian team will, you may rest assured, make heaps of friends in your Colony by their good behaviour and tneir good cricket playing. The arrangements are all in shape now, and nothing remains but to get leave of absence for three of the team for twelve months. I expect the articles to be signed in the course of a week ; then I will send you the names of the full team. The twelve, you may state, will be chosen from the following : —Bannermau, Blackham, D. Gregory, Allan, N. Thomson, Kendall, Koran, Boyle, Sleight, Garrett, Murdoch, Kelly, Spofforth, Campbell, and G. H. Bailley (Tasmania). You can imagine what a team can be selected from the above. It has not yet been decided whether the start will be made from Sydney or Melbourne.
