Football.

♦ According to the 3"'ng!i>,h papers, i hireling, who was heie v.ith \hv British footballers, was tin* hero, of the jnatih between London Wclt-h and London Irish teams. Ue kicked no feAVor than live goals. On<. critic said: — "iWud the Welsh place -kickkig failed and the Irish succeeded, fho result would have- been a draw of lo points each. Harding lias now kicked nine skoals in succession frevm tries scored", and two of these have been little shorty of marvellous. Kicking goals from tho touch-line, in the -teeth of a cale of wind has been one of thia player's re'•ont amusements, though this le-marl? obviously does not not refer to Saturday last. ]f a world's fifteen, were to ho Hm-e-n to-day Harding would. on present form, be first choice."
