NEW ZEALAND TEAM FOE N.S.W. Auckland, Saturday Night. The strides made by bowling as an intercolonial pastime are strikingly shown in the interchange of visits between Australian and Dominion bowlers, while the latter have on more than one occasion invaded the Old Country. (Several teams have visited Australia, and the latter have returned the compliment. By Monday's steamer leaving Auckland for Sydney another team of Auckland bowlers will leave to play matches in the capital of the mother State, and return the visit of the New South Welshmen to Auckland last season. Twenty-eight bowlers, with six ladies, will leave. Three test matches will be played by the team. Ten clubs will be represented in the team.
