They Jn Australian were rather proud of their achievements against the Motherland. He asked Lord. Lons- date to convey to the King the team's appreciation of his kind message of welcome. Those of them who had been here before realized the hospitality of his Majesty. During the tour of 1930 the greatest day was the day they were privileged to see him at, his home in Norfolk,
