THE NEW ZEALAND TEAM. f Special to Pbess Association.J BATHUBST, Jttiy 26. The match between the New Zealand6ra and a Western Districts fifteen was played at Bathurst to-day before a large attendance. The weather waa beautifully clear, but cold and more like their own climate than the visitors have yet experienced. The New Zealand team was :— Full-back, Wilson; three-quarters, Good, Bayly and Jervis; halves, Butland and Shannojnj forwards, , Mowlem,- Oliphant, Lambie, Cockroft, B. Mackenzie, Gray, Watspn, Murray and Hiroa. Western Districts '.—■ Full-back, Hurford ; three-quarters, Suttbr, Colqnhoun and Clayton ; halves, Barry and Dibleyj forwards, Eeid, Fish, Britten, Sambrook, Maloney, Parker, Gardiner, M'Kewn and Wiburn. Eeid started the game by kicking off for the local team, who t played? in„. white* .Jervis returned well up 'the fieldi and Lambie passihg to Mowlem the latter gave the Auckland crack a pass' which took bim to the goal line, where the ball slipped from his hands* The Whites responded with good will, and forced the game to the centre of the ground, but the scene was quickly transferred to their lines. Smart passing between Mowlem and Jervis again put them in danger. From a line-out Murray secured the ball and charged over the line, but Wilson failed to convert the try into a goal. Some fine passing between Butland, Shannon and Bayly enabled the last-named, with a dashing rnn, to reach the line, but, he was collared in the nick of time. The local men relieved the pressure by a dribbling rush, the effect' of which was discounted by a long punt of Butland's, which again placed the Whiter) on the defensive; LDibley stopped a determined rush, but the Blacks had now warmed up to the work, and were not to be denied. The ball' was worked close up to the line, and, coming into Oliphant's possession, that active Poneke player lost no time in getting across. Jervis kioked a neat goal from the try. Ab soon as the game waa resumed, Jervis, with a beautiful kiol£ sent the ball up the ground, and Gray following^ast compelled the_Wbites. to touch do wn^ in self-defence. 'Bayly then came with* another fine run," and passed to the Aucklander, who got close to the line before he was thrust into touch. Hie next effort was more successful, for receiving the ball from Mowlem and Oliphant, he easily crossed the line. He took the kick himself, bnt failed. After the kick out Colqnhoun Secured' the ball, and after a fine run passed to ■ Jiead, and the latter to Clayton; who mulled it. Hirofi was chiefly responsible. for. regaining the lost ground, and took the game into the local twenty- five, where Gray lost a chance of scoring through preferring to pass. Bead headed another rnsh :bj the Whites, which Wilson stopped, and then there was ; an . exchange of long :<kick£ between thebackßin'the,centre of the "Hnt^cept™g^^iW vp^*^fcHß^^^qa^kickingSflre ball over the line/the^ocal men were again forced down. Following np the kick-out well tbe Bathurst men got intc their opponents' territory. This^wasthe only chance they bad, and they made the beat use of it. Maloney passed to Fish, and the latter to Sambrook, and keeping up their pace Sambrook transferred to Bead, who succeeded in scoring. Colquhour kicked a goal, and half-time was called, with the score — New Zealand eleven to five. Lambie kicked off, and the New Zealanders immediately put on steam. A dangerous rush was stopped by Barry, but after some loose play Bayly got possession and travelling at a great pace got over neat the .corner. ' 'The' kick waa at. a difficult angle, arid Wilson failed to increase the score. Shortly afterwards Butland got Over and Jervis increased the score by a goal. Upon getting to work again |Colquhoun had a pot at goal without success, though a good kick, and the blacks were forced down fox the first and only time. Play then returned to the centre, where Butland passed to Shannon, who, with a fine run, eluded all his adversaries and scored a try, which Jervis increased to a goal. Wiburn and Bead led a big rush into the New Zealand territory, which was stosped by Bayly securing a mark. The Blacks charged back again, and Shannon gave Butland a pass, which enabled him to get very close to the Whites' line. No further core, however, was obtained before time was called, New Zealand winning by twenty-four points (three goals and three tries) to one goal. i [Pub. Prrss Association.] WELLINGTON, Jul? 26.
