NOTES.

(By "Sport".) Members of the Wellington passed through New Plymouth thfci morning* homeward bound. The match on Saturday against Auckland was .a great "go." In conversation with m» ilayers this morning . I fathered that they were fairly and squarely beaten. In faot, the Northeritets were conti^wally aggressive and gave^the Welling- ' ton backs plenty to do*. "Wellington had about one likely chance^ in the uircle. Several of the team*we);© below club form on Saturday, ,6etpeciAJly the forwards, Willis (right-wing) feeing perhaps the exception. Thegtuinp was played in a friendly spirit/ fyrit wie play was willing and at times Jewutmg. Barry (Auckland) received a temporary ! disablement', . and CampbeU^nWpling- ' ton) got a knock on . the Jpe^B which I considerably affected his uS&fulness at centre-half.
