SIN BAD.

The day wilf ver\* shortly fall, when Wellington’s Athletic Park, will see, prepared to kick the ball, the North and South upon the mark. A team to Aussie goes this year, and it can clearly now be seen, that now the trip is drawing near, the competition will be keen. All Rugby cracks arc. keen ,to catch so line a tour without a doubt, and so the inter-island match should be a thing to rave about. The North has cocky grown of late, for twice their men have laid us Hat. “Come on, you Southerners,” they prate, “ we’ll swiftly show you what we’re at. We’ve still got Nepia and Cooke, Mark Nicholls and the Brownlies too, and Irvine for us still will hook, while Porter knows a thing or two. With such a talented array, the South will find us very hard, and we their champions will lay out flatter than a playing card.” Yet I will venture to predict that we will need no blush of shame, I don’t see why we should be licked, for we can match them name for name. On Grenside, Falwasser and Mill their hopes without a doubt thej-’U fix, but yet the South has Dailey still, and Elvy is 'a box of tricks.
