l| The score in the match Kensington and Macaudrew Read has not come to hand.

Owing to the bad state of the grounds last Saturday all matches were postponed. In a few instances practices were held instead. The Postponement Committee would have saved a good deal of disappointment had the matches been put off tho night before, when the weather prevailing warranted such a course. The day, however, proved a glorious one, and was responsible foi a number of players and spectators wending their way to the various grounds in anticipation of a match being played.

Northern will, in all probability, be strengthened next Saturday against Southern by the inclusion of R. Irvine and Riley. The result- of this match should decide the runners-up. Mornington and Green Island also meet" next Saturday. The result of this match will show which team will occupy the lowest position.

The Wellington F.A. have no less than four protests lodged against referees' decisions. Evidently something wrong somewhere.

The lecture by the Rev. J. R. Ward, under the auspices of the 0.F.A., is to be delivered on July 22. It is entitled, "The New Chivalry." The Garrison Hall has been engaged, and the committee have tho matter well in hand. Tickets will be in the hands of the club secretaries by Thursday, and it only rests with the players to dispose of these to make the undertaking a financial success. The success otherwise is already assured, as the rev. gentleman has earned for himself a reputation as an orator.

Arrangements art* being made between the Caversham and Kaitangata schools to play a match at Milton.

Players will b« pleased to hear that W. Dobson and G. Sell, of the Seventh Contingent, are back home again, and looking well. Congratulations tc both. Roslyn are making preparations to give them a fitting reception, which will take place shortly. Although Scotland finished the football season of 1901-2 at the bottom of the list in the International Rugby, she won tho championship under Association rules. Previous to the last match England still had a chance of pecurinof this honour, but as the re-played match between the two countries at Birmingham ended in a draw of two goals all. Scotland was left at the top with five points to England's four.
