ENGLISH TROPHY.
DRAW AT CHRISTCHURCH. AUCKLAND'S GOOD EFFORT. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Sunday. The Canterbury Soccer representative* retained 'the English Trophy in a 3—3 drawn game with Auckland at English l'ark yesterday. Expectations that Canterbury would have the hardest game of the season wtre amply fulfilled, the Northerners fully deserving to share the honours. The Auckland-forwards were superior to those of either Otago or Wellington, previous challengers, which had befn soundly beaten this year. Blackie, outside right, and Farnan, Inside left, were particularly clever, while Stone, the Auckland right back, also gave a fine display. Once more Canterbury gave an even, ull-round performance. Wilson, a newcomer to the Bide at right half, fully Justified his inclusion. The ground and weather we're splendid, even if more suited to cricket than to football. There was a large attendance.
