FOOTBALL.
MrG. 11. DixoKjtho Secretary of the Rugby Union, has received a telegram from Mr J. Warbrick, informing him that the Nativ c Football Team will play in Auckland either on the 30th of June or the 7th of July. The Union are giving tilio' native team 60 par cent, of the gross proceeds, and if public interest is well aroused there will no doubt be a large attendance at the match.
There is a chance of a Thames " rep. " team and, one from Tauranga playing here this season, so that the local men will have their hands full.
At a meeting of the Auckland Representatives held last evening the offer of the proprietor of the Stak and " Family Friend " to present each of tho team with a silver cup or other trophy in commemoration of their victory over the Englishmen was accepted with thanks. A majority of those present being in favour of medals, it was decided to ask the donor to allow the presentation to take that form.
