THE AUCKLAND REPRESENTATIVES,
Auckland, August 7. The football representative team defeated a selected 18 by five points to nil. J. Warbriek kicked a goal from a try got by Veal. The ground was heavy and very slippery on account of the rain, and a gale was blowing. The representatives had the best of the play, which was confined mainly to dribbling and rushes. There were no brilliant runs. Ryan and Polland shone behind the scrummages. Newman played instead of Lindsay, who was indisposed. The team average 12st in weight, being well divided both forward and behind. The Auckland men are strong favourites for the match against Wellington, the books offering 2 to 1 on them.
