A FARCICAL EXHIBITION

CHBISTCHURCH, .10th Sept. Canterbury, and Marlborough repre-sentative-teams met on Lancaster Park, and what was expected to be ' a good game proved little more than a farcical exhibition, for the bad tackling of the Marlborough men allowed Elvey, Harris,, and Kennedy, of Canterbury, to do rVtctieally as they pleased. Elvey played a sparkling game and thrilled the crowd by his brilliant running, but the merit of his performance was considerably discounted by the weakness of the opposition. Marlborough showed no idea of finishing off'attacking movements, and tho only players to show anything' like representative form were -O'Brien and Walker. The game caused little 'excitement, and the attendance was poor. The ground was in good order, though perhaps a trifle hard for football.

The final score was: Canterbury 26, Marlborough 11.
