RECEPTION OF THE FOOTBALLERS.
(To the Editor.) ' Sir,— Referring to the preparations that the Rugby Union intend to "make | to welcome Our Boys back from their most successful foothba.ll campaign, may , I suggest that a public meeting be held | to allow the public -.0 take a hand in 'the reception. Would it not be a good idea if say 100 of the best Maori warriors, suitably attired, be gathered together on the wharf, and as the vessel I comes alongside to give our boys a welcome in the true Maori fashion and es[cort them up the city. I do not think j there is anything that would give them I greater pleasure than to be welcomed home with the good old Maori haka. Trusting that this idea will meet with j the approval of those concerned.—l am, etc., "NEW ZEALAND FOR EVER."
