Whitaker welcomed the cricketers in a capital speech, and Mr Gregory replied, and then telegrams of welcome were read from the Governor and Sir George Grey. • Healths were drunk, and then the cricketers were escorted to the.more aristocratic establishment, the Northern Club, where they were entertained at dinner.
