Commenting oh the North v. South lslfind match at Wellington on Saturday last a writer says: —lt was a rare treat to see the game once again played under legitimate Rugby rules at Athietic Park. It was pleasing to see valuable ground gained by those mighty punts to touch which used to thrill New Zealand crowds before, the League rule of no-kicking to touch -between the quarter-marks was mistakenly adopted in this country. Nothing was more vexatious than to see a splendid punt- of forty yards go into touch only to have to wait until both teams trailed hack to line-out opposite the spot from which the ball had been kicked. Surely this was slowing up the pme with a vengeance. On Saturday the ball was thrown in or a scrum taken from where it had gone out, and on went the play without further delay. Under tne rules of the International Board, no replacement of injured players- is allowed, and it ..was significant that not a solitary man left the field during, the' inter-lsiand; match.

The Minister in char of the Electoral Department (Hon W. A. Veitch) said that one of the reasons why schools were used was that !\ in many cases the services of the school teacher were utilised. It was very important that a responsible person should be placed in the position of returning officer (because sometimes it devolved upon such a person to give a casting vote. He would give instructions, however, that schools were not to he used as polling booths unless there was a special reason why they should be used. The Minister added that he had every confidence in the system whereby invalids and absent voters were enabled to return their vote. He considered tluu. a great benefit had been conferred upon these people as a result of the provision which had .been made.
