ENGLAND V. AUSTRALIA VISITORS WIN BY 12 POINTS TO 7 BRISBANE. July 5. With its players fresh after a spell of three days, and the ground soft underfoot as the result of heavy rain during the night, England won the second Rugby League test against Australia by 12 points to 7. The Englishmen fielded a much stronger team than in the first test, the inclusion of Risman and Brough in the backs eliminating the weaknesses which let them down at Sydney. Exploiting short punts and grubber kicks, they had the Australian defence in a hopeless muddle for the greater part of tho game. _ Only the individual brilliance of Prigg saved the score from being much greater in favoui of England. Except during the final quarter of an hour, the Australians seemed quite unable to evolve tactics that would counter the successful moves of the Englishmen. The latter then merely concentrated on defence, kicking the hall out and wasting time in an effort to hold the advantage. • Despite the weather a crowd of over 30,000 attended the match, standing in tho rain during the first halt, in which tho football was entertaining without being brilliant. It was not expected that the greasy bah would be thrown about, but the backs on both sides tried for a time to initiate passing movements. England wat the first to realise the futility of these tactics, having had so much experience under similar conditions in England, the visitors soon began to exploit the kicking game. At half-time the scores were 5-all, England’s points coming from a brilliant try by Edwards aftei Hodgson had made an opening, and a penalty by Risman. It was Hodgson who let an Australian in for the first try. He broke away cleverlv. but thrfw a pass wildly, and Crippin flashed: through, picked up the ball in the epen, and dashed down the lino to sopre, after Brough had made a weak attempt to tackle him. Tho try was concerted by Beaton. . ~! i Australia’s onlv score in tie second half was a penalty by Browi from a wide angle. ' ' \ , . Edwards and Jenkins co-owrated in a splendid move to make England s second try. Tho stand-off half eluded Norman and short punted across to

MEET AT BBOCKVILLE The weekly run of the Otago Hunt Club was held op Saturday at 31ount Grand, Brockville, under ideal weather conditions over the properties of Messrs G. M‘Donald and T. D. Dalziel. The course contained a good variety of jumps, consisting of wire fences, post and rails, gorse hedges, and a stone wall. The going was fairly heavy in parts, and tho take-off at se veral °* the jumps was very slippery. The nrst jump, a wire fence with a rail on top, held a number of the horses up for a time, and the field was well strung out when it was finally cleared. This was followed by two post and rails, a gate and a gorse hedge before the trail led around a ploughed field to a road double, the first jump being very tricky and held up several of the less experienced horses. Mr Dalziel s property was then entered, and four good tmrse hedges were taken, followed by a stone wall. The next obstacle, a tricky downhill jump, brought the riders on to the road, down which the trail led for a short distance before the opposite paddock was entered. After negotiating three good post and rails the last jump brought the riders into the paddock opposite Mr Dalziel s residence, where the “ kill ” took place. Several horses from Wingatui made their initial appearance this season but did iiot appear to relish _ the heavy troing and different conditions. ° The majority of the horses gave an excellent display, the most prominent being Mrs Dalziel’s Chrysler, Octane, Mr W. Duff’s Zamboa, Blackthorne, Miss Mowat’s Golden Nugget, Miss Thomson’s Dolly Varden, Mr J. b. M'Kay’s Academy, Mr A. Dickson s Rainbow. Mr J. R. Brown’s Dandy, Mr Muirhead’s Kim, Mr R. Greenslade s
