Porter said lie was glad the tour ill England had ended with the breaking of the 1905 side’s record. He was sorry he did not play in Saturday’s game. The press is full of glowing tributes to the A 1.1 Blacks. The Aero-Sports publishes a speciallywritten chorus in English, which by its raciness makes up for its grammatical surprises. Concluding “New Zealand for ever!” the Auto says: Everyone will endeavour to make the visit of the athletes from a distant land enjoyable, and hopes that the Government and the Paris Municipality will consider officially receiving the magnificent Antipodes’ athletes.
