FROM SOUTH TO NORTH
PLAY MANAWATTJ TO-MORROW.
The South African footballers came up from Dunedin yesterday, and arrived with the Northern members of the New Zealand team hi Wellington by the Mararoa this morning. The team are all well, and have appreciated a temporary relaxation from strict training after the first Test match. They left for Palmerston North to-day, and to-morrow will meet a combined Horowhenua-Manawatu fifteen en the Showground. , Although the combined team, states our local correspondent, is barely sanguine,, enough to anticipate success, its supporters look to it to put up a good fight. Although the score made against Wellington on Saturday last can hardly be taken as any criterion, the visiting fifteen being Very weak, still it showed that the Ma-nawatu-Horowhenua combination contains several good scoring men should openings arise. There is a great deal of public interest in the match.
