	Obituary of Admiral Sir Harry Holdsworth Rawson
		In January, 1902, Vice-Admiral Sir Harry Rawson was appointed Governor of the State of New South Wales in the Commonwealth of Australia, a post for which his tact, kindliness, and good sense were sturdy qualifications.
		The Governor had returned to England in consequence of unsatisfactory accounts of the health of Lady Rawson; and she was returning to Australia with her Husband, son, and daughter when she died on board the steamer in the Red Sea on December 3, 1905.
		John Ralph Shaw, of Arrowe Park, Cheshire, was married to Sir Harry Rawson in October, 1871, and there were five children of the marriage, one of the sons being a lieutenant in the Royal Navy.

		No shame was attached to the event at the time, and Admiral Rawson was appointed Governor of New South Wales, 27 May 1902 – 27 May 1909.
		Admiral Rawson was commander of British naval forces at the Cape of Good Hope at the time, and the Expedition was regarded in British circles largely as a stroke of disciplined and coordinated planning:

		Rawson Cricket 2006 will be long remembered as a campaign in which luck, skill and an enormous amount of team spirit, culminated in the best cricket result Drews had seen in many years.
		Possibly it was the air or possibly it was the fact that Christie had just expressed his love for twelve year old boys, whatever it was, we were not on our game, and after being in a strong position at 3/47, we lost 7/9 and were dismissed for 56.
