INTEREST TO SPORT.
AN AID TO TEMPERANCE. Wellington, Sept. 28. A new light has been thrown on the advantages of football by the remarks of a police official, who found a larger batch of drunks in the cells than usual. ‘•We’ll get more now the football season is closing,” he said, and went on to remark that there were more inebriates on Saturdays in the summer than any other time. Not nearly so many attend summer sports, but in the football season there were numbers who wouldn’t miss a seat for anything. •'Half of them won’t know what to do with their Saturdays from now on. Sport is something to take an interest in when they arc not working, and is what keeps the people sober.”
