Writing on October 13 to The Sydney Referee, Harverson (who has just landed in England) said:—" I have had the opportunity of seeing some of your wonderful country this week in the Riverina. What fine sportsmen you meet in towns like Lockhart. Hay, and Narrandera, and how fond they are of billiards! Everyone you talk to seems to follow all the matches played in Sydney and Melbourne—in fact, they seem to know more about it than one does oneself.
This has been a most enjoyable week, and at last I have seen something of Australia. Mrs. Harverson and I go home by the Morea on October 22, so we shall not be able to see the Melbourne Cup run, as we are listed to arrive in London on November 28. Lindrum and I play at Wonthaggi on October 18 and 19, and finish up on October 21 at the Motor Club, Melbourne. I wish you would convey my best thanks to all the people who supported me during my tour, and assure them that I am pleased to have had the opportunity of visiting your wonderful country."
