GENERAL NOTES.

ft is very gratifying to "Tynecastle" to have .his. suggestion of . a -NewZealand Cup endorsed by J. Edwards, •who is an ex-professional of 16 years' standing from tlie Old Country. Ow- . ing to" lack of space I am unable to publish, some useful hints from this old-tiirjer, but would advise the Otago Association to get a move on and-, enlist the,;services of, such a, capable coach. It is most unfortunate for the game m New ; .Zealand .that the Aussies did not see fit to include m iheir team a centre-forward called Jennings, who is supposed to have, come under the notice of the management of Tottenham Hotspur. What en opportunity this lad will have of playing m real class football if.rumour is O.K. • Don't be. surprised if a player from this side takes the plurige also. It Jts quite on the boards. > Wellington's champion team, the Watcrsiders, visited Masterton last Saturday and proved too good for the Wairarapa lads by 5-1. The exhibition z>f scientific football was above the average, apd has given the.; u-".uo a grpat lift' in tho district. The^ city boys speak highly of their treatment during their short stay. No doubt the Soccer game has come, to siny Jn this district and great credit m due to those at the head of affairs. Palmerston had " a visit from the Wei line-ton Gas Co. team, and after a clever and fast game the latter iowi-vpd the Manawatu reps.' colours to the 'tune- of 5-2. - . Senior football m Wellington last Saturday was like the weather — very y^asmodic. The match between Msivist and Thistle was the" limit, and ;• .' i plif„ora li.ad to make application tor "a license a few engaged m this match would find it hard to procure or.c. The result," 1-1, was a fair indication of the efforts of both sides; but as somo of the Blues could not Rgo" fif to" cany on the good work and Play extra time. Marist won by default. Hospital and Diamonds had a ding-dong go m their semi-tie, the former squeezing home by 3-2.
