THE ALL BLACKS.
HOW RICHARDSON BROKE HIS LEG (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Everyone was glad to see that Richardson did not have to be carried off the steamer yesterday, and had so far recovered that he was able to walk with the assistance of his crutches. His leg was broken near the ankle, and, as is commonly the case, it occurred in a very simple manner. He was playing wing threequarter at practice in Vancouver, and on receiving the ball endeavoured to beat Parker, who was playing opposite him. He swerved as he neared the Canterbury man and was just passing , when Parker got hold of him. He tried to recover, and in doing so his leg snapped. ENTERTAINED AT BALL. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Twelve hundred persons assembled for the jazz ball in honour of the All Blacks to-night. The loving cup and other trophies were on view. The All Black, A- White, made a presentation of an oak and silver tantalus to Mr. Dean, the manager. Badeley handed the rosebowl to Porter. Gay scenes were witnessed, and extended far into the night. The Hon. J. G. Coates and many Rugby officials were present.
