ALL BLACKS.
REPORTS OF UNFAIR CRITICISM. SIR J. ALLEN’S OPINION. EXHIBITION MATCH. BY CABLE--PR.ESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. (Received Dec. 20, 9.25 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 19. Sir .lames Alien, in an interview, gaid that groat harm had been done in Now Zealand by false reports that the All Blacks received spiteful criticism and cold receptions. There had been no hostility and good play had been always applauded. There had, however, been occasional murmurs of disappointment. He watched the Twickenham match, and everybody from the King down-wards appeared to be delightfully unbiassed. The English crowds have treated the All Blacks with absolute fairness. • The team -is .observing silence and not replying to criticisms, but is thoroughly gratified with the enthusiastic cordiality shown everywhere. The Daily Mails says the All Blacks are spending Christinas at Deal. They have arranged, to play an exhibition match on the Goodwin Bands for the first time in history, if tides should be favourable.
