. W. Macbeth, the Wellington half., hack, joined the ranks of the benedicts on Monday, his bride being a Miss Borlasa, late of Wanganui. --Sis?— ln'-, the Sootball iiotes ■of your last /issue, "Pakaha" mentions that a "paragraph relating to the play of Wallace had slipped m among his notes unobserved, and that he considered the. strictures were not deserved. As p. spectator at the Melrose-Poneke match I should like to say that they were fully deserved, and it seems incredible that the referee did not no.tice i what was ,. observed and freely Commented on. Th<j fact thsit Wallace is a champion m the football arenq, does not entitle him to do that for which other players are cautioned flttd! sometimes dismissed the field. No had his opponents retaliated jthey would have received short Shift. There is an impression that re Mees w ink at his. little tricks. His attituue ' seems to indicate that, beine such a good player, he considers he should not" be tackletL He resents, beinft' tacJd^d, bui provocation is no more! an excuse for him than it Is for Vne players who cannot claim to be All-Blacks. He has the referee to :ook'' after tiisj interests, surely, jusj; !us q&m:! players have. I hope that he vililfOE his dwn reputation restrain; J limJ^k in ' the! future.— Yours, etc. .
