New Zealand will be entertaining a happy band of cricketers this season when the team brought by Sir Julien Cahn does battle against our representatives. Sir Julien is a wealthy Englishman who “collects cricketers” as a hobby and takes them on tour to various parts of the world. Many a promising young cricketer has had his way made much easier by the interest shown by Sir Julien Cahn, and it is pleasing to New Zealanders to know that Stewart Dempster, considered by many critics to be the outstanding amateur in England to-day, has returned to his homeland as a member of the touring team. Although a privately financed team, the strength is equal to, or better than, the last M.C.C. team to visit New Zealand, and some interesting play should be seen.
