KAIPAI TE KAI!
■ ROAST BEEF OF OLD ENGLAND. (By SINBAD.) The Maoris are all right, you bet, if only they get proper kai, for they have cleaned up Somerset, aud everything is right as pie. The food they had in France to take brought hollo wness and grief, but now Matene has his steak. and Falwasser his good roast beef. Good English mutton, followed by the kind of pudding known as plum, brings smile s to every Maori eye, and puts some weigh?; into the scrum. They say, -'You men from Somerset, of zider "apples, you may sing, but we can lick you, for we ate rpast pork and spuds and everything." And true, in fact, this forecast proved. The forwards never played so well, the backs in combination moved, and swiftly Somersetshire fell and, as the Maoris went to dine, on cutlets' and an apple pie, the awed spectators on the line heard this remark: "Kapai te kai!" A few more days of mansize meals will swiftly fill each hollow cheek; the Maori now will win one feels, with ease two matches every week. *
