THE GAME FOR TO-DAY.
A STRONG COUNTY TBA"M. The All Blacks play their eleventh match to-day against Yorkshire, which on tne results of last year's county matches may be looked on as one of the strongest county teams in Britain. Playing in the northern division matches last year, Yorkshire shaped very like winning the division straight out by beatinp Durham 16—1, North- ; umberland 19—5 and Cumberland B—o, but they had a lapse against Lancashire I when they put a weak team in the field J and were beaten 19 —G. Thereafter, I they bea.t Cheshire 15 —10, and met , Cumberland a, second time when the game was drawn, 3 all. Eventually Yorkslure and Cumberland played off for the division championship, and CumI Ijeriand -won the game, and later won I the county championship of England. lit is obvious that if Yorkshire is aible to reproduce the team and form of last season, the All Blacks will be given ; almost as hard a game as that against jC'umbPTland.
