ALL BLACKS.
Armistice Day at the Cenotaph. MANCHESTER IMPRESSED. (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, November 11. The All Blacks attended the Armistice Day service at the Cenotaph. Some watched the ceremony from the windows of the Dominion Office, while others were perched on a wall a foot wide. All had a great view. After the ceremony the manager, Mr. V. R, Meredith, placed a wreath on the Cenotaph. J. E. Manchester, the captain, said: "It was the most impressive and most interesting service I have ever witnessed." During the silence two women immediately in front of the footballers burst into tears and collapsed. In the afternoon the team visited Lloyds and the Tower of London. They go to Cambridge on Tuesday and they regret they are unable *to attend the Strickland fight. Fifty specially-printed Christmas cards have been given to each player to send to relatives and friends. There is not much hope of J. R. Page playing against Scotland. He is still suffering from a leg injury.
