ALL BLACKS AND SCOTLAND.
"BETTER UNDERSTANDING NOW." CONTROVERSY WELL AIRED. (By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.) DUNEDIN, this day. "Some of the papers here aro beginning to go seriously into the ScotlandNew Zealand Rugby football controversy," writes "Diogenes," the Rugby writer of the Edinburgh "Evening News," in a letter to a Dunedin resident. "Already one feels that .a better understanding prevails, the feeling being heightened by the all-round success of the Waratahs' match. Should the All Blacks (third edition) come to this country in the future we would need a still greater Murray Field to hold the spectators who would wish to see them, and this ground can accommodate 70,000 at a pinch. Considering the cold weather at the time of the Waratahs' game, and also the fact that it was the team's fourth match in Scotland, the attendance of 50,000 was more than satisfactory."
