N.S.W. TEAM EAREWELLED
tJfer Presa Association./ WELLINGTON, September 21. The N.S.W. team left 'Wellington today by the Ulimaroa. A large gathering saw them off. Mr Bosward (manager) said that they were greatly indebted to New Zealand generally for their great hospitality. It was unfortunate they had been unable to bring the strongest N.S.W. team. Had they done so the games might have been closer. He resented any imputation that the team was guilty of any illegal tactics. HAWKE’S BAY v. AUCKLAND. NAPIER, September 21.
