The match was most unsatisfactory. Within five minutes of the commencement Cookley, of Wanganui, collared the ball nnd attempted to run. He was stopped by Malcolm, and both came heavily to the ground. Cookley sustained a bad fracture of the leg, just above the ankle, and was carried off the Cold. His brother, J. Cookley, took his place, and the game was shortly renewed. Directly after, P. G. Smith, captain of the Wanganui team, had a spill and was stunned, but after a time was able to go on. The first bout of 40 minutes concluded without a score. Both team 3 appeared evenly matched. In the second spell Nelson pressed their opponents hard, tho ball on oue occasion being off-side, and tho player got tho ball and started to run. The Nelson umpire shouted " off-side," and no one attempting to stop the player, he carried the ball behind the Nelson goal. A dispute then arose between the umpires, Cross, the Wanganui umpire, now denying the man was off-side. There being no roferec appointed and neither umpire giving way, the Wanganui men walked off the ground, aud Baddely, the Nelson captain, claimed a victory. There was a large attendance of the public, and for the first time m Nelson shouts of " fling him down " frequently resounded. The accident to Cookley was a damper to the game. Hokitijla, Sept. 15.

Major Barker of the Salvation Army arrived this afternoon from Timaru. He was met at the railway station by over 300 soldiers, half of whom were women and children, with a band. About 2000 persons assembled around the station, the larrikin element being very strong. A considerable number of police m unifor » and plain clothes were scattered among the crowd, and the larrikins confined themselves to hooting. Major Barker mounted his chariot (a fourwheeled cab) and drove to Sydenhnm, where a " Free and Easy " was held. On tho way a man named Thomas Patrick, working on a building being erected m Muncheoter street, threw a packet of stone dust at the Band and was immediately arrested. In the evening, colon were presented to the Sydenham Corps. The proceedings were orderly. It is known that the larrikins had planned to rush Barker's carriage at the station, but the number of police present prevented them from doing so. Dunedin, Sept. 16. The lawn tennis match between Auckland and Dunedin representatives came off yesterday, and was won by Auckland. Six games were played m each set, and two sets out of three were to constitute tho victory. Auckland won the first set by 6to 5.
