ALL BLACKS AND TESTS.
A DUNEDIN HUMORIST. A humorous story is being told in Dunedin in connection with the Rugby test matches between the All Blacks and New South Wales. . . A well-known member of the Otago Rugby Union received ia short, but significant, cablegram from a friend in Sydney after the playing of the first test match, which New South Wales won by 26 points to 20. It simply read: "Ha, ha, ha!" After the result of the second test was made known, the All Blacks winning by 11 ppints to 6, the Dunedin resident sent a reply to his Sydney friend. The cablegram read: "He, he, he!" Then, when the All Blacks capped that victory with a win by 14 points to 0 in the final test, another cablegram was flashed from Dunedin to Sydney. That one read: "Ho, ho, ho!"
