Football.
Saturday's football match at Taihape on Saturday resulted in a big discussion at night, and in several _astai.ce--blows were exchanged. Here is a sample of the kind of form the British team are now showing in attack :■—" Hulme passed to Bu.b, thence it went from Bush to Gabe, to M'Evcdy, to Llewellyn, back to Gabe, and then to MorgaD, who scored." That spells combination in Rugby in its highest form. Picture these men tearmp; over the ground, passing swiftly, arid taking the ball at top speed, and with the accuracy of a juggler; and you-can-realise what the British. te*-m" are capable of doing in .attack.? Yet the New 'Zealand Union do hot think' it is. necessary to give their team combination !
Sir Joseph Ward has promised to put on a special train from iNapier for-., tho conveyance of Hawke's Bay people desirous of witnessing the football match between the British and 2": ew Zealand football teams at; the Athletic Ptirk on August 13th. The : train will.'. leave Napier on the night of Friday, the 12lb, returning from .Wellington oa the evening of the match. ,
