Mr Miller, secretary of the New South Wales Rugby League, replying to Wagstaffe, states that at a farewell dinner Wagstaffe said that the football had been hard, but undoubtedly the better ei-de had won. Both managers spoke similarly. M*Mahon, the referee, denied that the spirit of the rules had been ignored. The matches had been played in the same way as they always wero in Sydney. If the Englishmen were barracked", they courted it by their continual talk and by looking for fight. BANTAM-WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. In the Theatre Royal, Timaru, last night Harry Gunn (Timaru), challenger, beat°on points C. Cann, holder of the professional bantam-weight championship oi New Zealand, in. a hard contest of 15 rounds, for ■the title and a purse of £ICO. The winner had a small margin in his favor. GOLF. Kirkwood, the open champion of Australia and New Zealand, suffered his first defeat in an exhibition golf match at Invercargill yesterday by lies, the Christchurch professional, who won by 3 up and 2to play. The weather was fine, but a strong wind made play difficult. Kirkwood was unable to strike form, and lies obtained the lead in the early stages and kept it to the finish. A feature of the play was the consistent driving by both. Short play, approaches, and putts were badly played by both. C.J.C. RACES. j Acceptances for New Zealand Cup and [ Stewards' Handicap, forfeits for Welcome, Derby, and Oaks, and general entries clcss at 8 p.m. to-morrow. METROPOLITAN TROTTING MEETING. TSpEciAt, to thk 'Stab.'] CHR7STCHURCH. October 20. A first-class list of entries lias been received for the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotiinc Club's November Meeting. Most of the Cup horses have* had other engagements made for them, while northern and southern stables have contributed more freely than usual. Two new arrivals from Australia— Duke Whips and Belmont Chimes—figure in the list. They arrived only yesterdav and have been "sent over bv Mr F. Johnston, of Sydney, to J. Bt-cb's stable. Matchlight was responsible for a fast work out yesterday. Driven by J. Brvco. he covered two miles in -Irain 30sec. which proves that the southern-owned -pacer is very well, and must be seriously considered in the New Zealand Trotting Cup. Hendrick=en evidently has hopes that Ha' Jinr'or will survive a preparation, as the Hawke's Bay-owned pacer has been freely nominated for Addington next month. " AMATEUR STATUS. A Sydney Press Association cablegram reports that Harold Hardwick. amateur swimmer and professional boxer, regrets entering the professional boxing ranks, and is seeking absolution from the Amateur Boxing Association, -wrMi a view to competing in the swimming championships. A Sydney cable states that the racehorse Checkmate, which has just reached there from New Zealand, has been sold to a West Australian buyer. The price is,not st.ited. Amythas and Arrowsmith were taken to Well : ngton by last night's ferry steamer. F. Holmes will drive Rorke's Drift in the principal event at Oamaru on Labor Day.
