PROFESSIONAL RUGBY
AND ITS DOMINION PROSPECTS. [Pee United Peess Association.] WELLINGTON, May 19. One of the returned professional football team states that the members received about £3OO each, after paying all travelling expenses. Questioned as to the- possibility of the team being re-formed in New Zealand, he said he thought it unlikely. It might happen that the various members might get clubs formed in the portions of the Dominion in which they resided, and thus get tlie game started. If this were done, he declared it would be the most popular game in a few years. He attributed the defeats in Australia to the lack of condition, the team being unaware that they wero to play until they arrived.
