ALL BLACK RUGBY TEAM. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. SI dNEY, June 21. The Mamma had a rough crossing from Wellington and the All Black Rugby team suffered considerably and proved much loss redoubtable as shipboard trenchermen than as they are reputed to lie on the football field.

The team was welcomed officially by the New South Wales Rugby Union, the president of which is Mr Woods, and Sir Henry Braddon addressed a few remarks of felicitation to Mr W allace and his men and indulged in interesting reminiscences covering the period since the first New Zealand visit to Australia in .1884.
