LEAGUE FOOTBALL. DOMINION- CHALLENGE SHIELD. ll’EJt CJmiteij Press Association.) AUCKLAND, October 15. In the New Zealand Challenge Shield mutch City (Auckland) defeated Tongariro (King Country) by II to 13. The Tongariro learn, composed mostly of Maoris, gavo a highly creditable display. The scores give no indication in respect to the merits of Ihe teams. Halfway through the second spoil City was fighting for its life, and Tongariro looked like the winners. City appeared to be crumpling under the attack, when AVelhcrall (City five-eighth), by brilliant play, turned the tables, scoring twice in quick succession, this proving the tonic required by the City backs. CROQUET. The Punga Croquet Club opened its season on Wednesday last in perfect weather, when there was a large attendance of mCmbora and visitors, including a contingent of ladies from the Outram Club. The Mayor declared the season open, and the president (Mrs Mnnbire) rolled tho first ball. A number of competitions was held during the afternoon, the winners being Mrs James (putting), ami Mrs Porteous (hoops). Afternoon tea was dispensed by the Ladies’ Committee.

RACING IN ENGLAND. | IMPORTATION-OF HORSES TO NEW ZEALAND. MR J B. REID INTERVIEWED. j A brief review on racing in England was given to an Auckland Star representative by Mr J. B. Reid, of Eklerslio, Oamaru, the well-known racehorse owner and breeder, who has returned to tho dominion by the Ruahino after eight months' absence in England. While at Home Mr Reid acquired the estate of Banstcad Manor, Newmarket, which is conveniently situated to the famous racecourse. The land is mostly pasture, and Mr Reid intends to develop a stud farm for racehorses there. With this new interest in England, ho hopes to be able to spend a fair amount of time there, and one may safely anticipate that what will be New Zealand's loss will bo England's gain. Racing in the Old Country, he said, continues to be as popular as ever, the attendances at the meetings being enormous. A strong supporter ot the totalisator system, Mr Reid expressed the view that the introduction df the machine in England was still a long way off. "It will not come in our time," he said. "At present racing is splendidly managed by the Jockey Club, and it is not likely the club will givo up its control, winch, to a certain extent, would follow Government interference in the form of the introduction of the totalisator." From the machine the Homo Government would lof course derive a. huge revenue, but Mr Reid feared that racing would suffer from any change of control. Referring to the purchase of stallions for Now Zealand, be said it was- a very difficult matter to get just the sire one wanted in England, unless at a price which" was altogether beyond the colonial breeder who lias to sell his yearlings at an average of <i6o to 300 guineas each. Mr Reid was anxious to purchase Paragon' for Mr Stead, and he allowed one or iwo good horses to pass, thinking he would be within his limit, but the buyer was going strong at about 7000 guineas—a sum greater than any colonial stud master coald possibly afford to pay. Paraxon, he thought, was probably the best handican horse in England up to one mile and a-half, and a great weight earner. Very much like Kilboy, although smaller, and bred on the most fashionable lines. Paragon is just what is wonted in New Zealand, being by Radium from Quintes sence. . . Another horse which would have suited well Hapsburg, but Mr Reid had instructions not to buy a horse with bt, Simon on the male side, and of course he is by Desmond. However, Mr Reid expressed the view that the two horses purchased will do a lot of good to the New Zealand turf. .. With regard to three-year-olds, Mr Reid considered that Cantain Cuttle was quite the best, but it was reported at Newmarket before he loft that he was not likely to stand training. He is a very fine racy horse of the Gipsy Grand type, only probably showing more quality. The two-year-olds are supposed to be a high-class lot, and of those which Mr Reid saw he considered Town Guard was the best. Legality, by Charles O'Malley, from an own sister of Tractor, now in Mr Hazlett's stud near Dunedin, he described as a very high-class colt, a. light grey of beautiful quality. Duncan Gray was also a fine colt, and Mr Reid thought the next Derby winner would come from Town Guard, Legality, Duncan Gray, or Pharos. Of the fillies, Mr Reid pronounced Kos much the best of those he saw racing. There might, of course, be others which were not yet in condition to display their best form. Dealing with the progeny of tho young stallions seen, he thought the foals by Grand Parade very fine. Juggernaut, who had made a good start, was a half-brother by St Simon to Symbolism, a mare Mr Reid imported and now 1 in Mr Lowry's stud at Hawke's Bay. BOXING. BECKETT-MORAN FIGHT. BOTH MEN HEAVILY BATTERED. TEST OF ENDURANCE. Pr«« Asao nation-—Bt Telcerttph—Copyright LONDON, October 12. Beckett, in the first round, forged in and caught Koran heavily in the ribs. Beckett, iu the second round, did well with ,sliort-arm jabs to tho head! and body, drawing blood from Koran's left eye. Then Koran was staggered by a couple of uppercuts and a low blow. He was evidently in pairi, and fell to the boards, but the gong saved hirn. Koran, in the third round, rushed across the ring, and by sheer strength forcedi Beckett to the floor. Punch for punch was then the order of the day, all sorts of blows being given a*d taken. Koran, in the fourth round, caught Beckett a hard punch to the jaw. Beckett went down for seven seconds. Hd was groggy, and again fell for two. Koran tried hard to finish his man, hitting him again and again. Beckett was still groggy when tho bell saved hini Koran, in the fifth round, was much tlie stronger, but Beckett was unexpectedly fresh,' recovering marvellously. The men stood toe to too exchanging hardi blowß. Koran looked to be in trouble from Beckett's body blows. Both wore now staggering about the ring. Excitement ran high. Tho crowded house wondered who would last the longest. The sixth round ended in Beckett's favcur. Koran tried his right, but Beckett got him on the ropes and hammered him on the jaw without receiving much punishment. In the last round Koran was in a bad way. Ho was a pitiable sight; his eyes almost closed, his face covered with blood. About halfway through tho round the referee stopped the fight. As Koran's towel was thrown in Koran was practically blind. Ho groped his way about the ring trying to find his corner until his seconds came to his assistance. SIKI-CARPENTIER BOUT. THE " WINNER'S " SHARE. INQUIRY'TO BE HELD. PARIS, October 13.
