Harper and Glenn arrived to-day. Harper proceeds South to-night. In the course of an interesting conversation re the football tour Harper agreed that the defeat by Wales was due to the stalehoss of most of our men, who, he said, had previously been plaved far too much. He characterised as "gross exaggeration" the accounts current re friction in the team. He gave an eloquent account of the thrilling effect of the Welsh crowds singing their national hymn, and alluded to the Paris match with lively sympathy. He was much touched by the hospitality shown to the team everywhere.
