ENGLAND
(By Telegraph — Association.)' INVERCARGILL, Aug. 22. After a. fast, open exhibition of the League code, New Zealand, bnit Eng* land to-day by 27 points to' 26. The' wcaither was ideal and the ground was in capital order. There was a large attendance. j. Parkin, the English captain, made his first appearance after being incapacitated for two months, and was responsible for a fine exhibition of halfback play. The visiting rearguard handled more accurately than their opponents and would have scored further tries had infringements been less frequent. On the other hand New Zealand’s score would have been greater had Duffy turned to better account opportunities that came his way.
