SOCCER FOOTBALL.

THE THIRD TEST MATCH. » WIN FOR NEW ZEALAXD. AUCKLAND, July 8. The third Association Football Test match was one of the best expositions of the code seen in Auckland. The game was very .fast throughout, in marked contrast to the game against Auckland. The backs were evenly matched, but the New Zealand forwards were superior, putting more finish into their work and being clever in front of the goals. The second spell was (SHpeci-rylly fast, the New Zealanders showing clever footwork. New Zealand scored two goals within the first ten 'minutes of the game, the scorers being Ballard and Cook, and the spell ending two to nil. Australia scored early in the second half, Browne goaling shortly afterwards. Dacre added another goal for New Zealand ami exciting play followed, but the local defence was too sound, and the game ended: New Zealand 3; Australia I. CHRISTCHURCH RESULTS. (Special to “Argus”).
