RUGBY. CANTERBURY UNION. The proceeds <>f to-day's matches at Lancaster Park go to tlie Mayor's Relief of Distress i'uud. It is hoped that thousands oi r «ople will make tlio journey to the Park, s0 that the funds for this very worthy object Bay be augmented. ■The Oval same between Chr'stchurc'u and Old Boys should provide a fast, attractive Li'tne of Ilu;;by. The Chvistchureh insido backs are iioutery (from I)unedin), Shirtcfiile, and Pawson. The three-quarter lino vill consist o£ Ilart, Fulton. and Simpson, (In last-named being an Old Merchant Taylors' player from London. The Red and Black usCk should be formidable, including such splendid forwards as Cottrell, Noble, Manel?ester, and Simpson. Old Boys, with a much lighter team, are expected to play attractively. The ins.des will be Vincent, Mel'hail, R r.d Mortlock. The three-quarter line will be Spicer, Gregg, un_d Hall. The White forwards are light, with Bowes, Lawry, and Foley likely to tie prominent. This match v.ill be preceded by a hockey game between hockey old-timers and a ladieV' representative team. The old-timers will include C. Bellamy, \V. Williamson, ,S. G. Holland, K. Crracie. and 11. Gnodmun. The ladies have a strong side, and will no doubt be hard to beat. On the South ground at the Park, Linwood vill meet Sydenham. The mainstays of the Sydenham team will bo AlcAlister at half,' Quaid, and Dunshen. Linvood's strength wili lit in the forwards, and AVhite, Kntwistle. and Adams should be • prominent. Sydenham have a fine team in, and the combination of their inside backs should make them hard to boat. •At Rugby Park a strong Morivale team M ill oppose 'Varsity, and at the Show Grounds Albion will take the field against Athletic.
