THE NORTHERN UNION.
Mr Homish Stuart, a well-known Soots football authority, iu referring to tlxo visit of tho Now Zealand professionals to England, states that prior to the current season in England "The N.TJ. n» a body were moribund. Can it bp denied that the N.U. have secured a new lease of life —and very vigorous life, too, more’s the pity—through the visit of the New Zealanders and tho Welsh revolt ? There is a. largo soot ion of the Rugby-loving world who do not want, and will not have football 'on commercial principles, ’ simply because football on each lines Inconies, in their opinion, a debased sport, and has am injurious effect upon the national character—a broad aspect of the matter xvhic.li receives for too little attention.”
