FARMERS AS SPORTS.
A GOOD A DA r E'RTISEME NT. (Bv Telegraph—Special to The Star.) WELLINGTON, July 26. To-day’s conference of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union decided to send a message to Heenev on the eve of his fight. TSeeing that there will be 75 correspondents at the ringside, and that this union represents 80,000 farmers -of the Dominion, it will be a splendid advertisement for us, ’ ’ said the mover. “It will show the American farmer too that, we are fighters.” 'One delegate wanted to know how such a cable could now be sent, seeing that the farmers had, iby their rejection of daylight saving, -h'a'd shown, themselves opposed to sport. Mr W. J. Poison’s ■motion “that Mr Bowen, should be empowered to send the Cable, sign niy name to it, and pay for it,” was carried enthusiastically. 'Mr B’owen remarked that he would do so and also would take round tlie hat.
