Lawson~Menzies - Auctioneers, Sydney and Melbourne (721 words)
Bligh, the 23 year-old second son of the Earl of Darnley, had vowed to bring back "the Ashes" to England.
In Sydney Bligh was staying with the Fletchers in Paddington, and was given a velvet bag made by Mrs Annie Fletcher (nee Clarke), to "carry" the Ashes home.
Following a final tour match against Victoria, Florence Morphy and her lady friends told Bligh that the velvet bag (made in Sydney!) was not grand enough for the Ashes, and he proposed to Florence Morphy at 'Rupertswood', and gave the Clarkes the silver tray.
