NEW ZEALANDKRS IN THE OL?1 COr.NTRY. From Our Special Correspondent. London, October 22. r Colonial taient preiloniinates in the Huddensfiold three-quarter lino, where Wrigley and Roseiifeld .have on more than one occasion been seen to advantage. The New Zealander has already 'M pointK to his credit this season, and is selected to represent hi« adopted county at Maryport next Saturday. Rosen'feld has scored 24 points, his most successful game ot the season being in the cup-tie against Hull Kingston Rovers. Notts Rugby secured their first victory of the «e:iKon at Beeston, hilt, although they made a better showing than against M'<«w»ley. a far iiigher .standard of play is required, 'their backs are fast and quite, promising, but the. forwards lack weight and experience. Probjibly the mast important «tern in the Northern Union deliberations was that; which concerned the proposl ed tour. The final decision was postponed. But several who were last seacion opposed to the visit now admit that the situation in Australia and New Zealand is so promising that a tour next season is opportune. Several communications were read at the • meeting from residents in the colony. '■ and recent arrivals in this country, ami all were optimistic to a. degree. In any case the Union cannot be accused of undue haste in making up their minds, but the air is now cleared at, regards tho preliminaries.
