AUCKLAND v. MARLBOROUGH. THE VISITORS DEFEATED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Blenheim, This Day. Much surprise was caused by Marlborough beating Auckland by 8 to 3, and the Aucklanders say, with practice and training, the local men could hold their own with any team. Both Morse and Seeling were injured during the game.

To anyone who witnessed the match Auckland v. Thames played at Alexandra Park last Saturday, the news of the defeat of the Auckland team by Marlborough, which has the reputation of being anything but firstclass, by eight points to three, does not come as a surprise. Thames left home five men shore; they roped in two juniors and picked up another three casuals on the boat, and let them loose on the Auckland reps. During the first spell play was very even and for the first half of the se- | cond round the visitors simply swarmj ed over Auckland, and had bad luck in not scoring several times. Towards the finish, however, they failed to maintain the struggle, and the home team quickly ran up a score. The Aucklanders occasionally played brilliantly; but taken as a whole ,' their display was about as ragged an exhibition as one could wish to see, and not on the same plane as that given by the College boy 3 in the curtain raiser. If what we hear regarding Wellington be true, what will happen to Auckland when they meet? Tomorrow will convince the Auckland Rugby Union that they have not been running on right lines. They have been depending too much in the past on their old players without looking to the encouragement and education of men to replace them, and now that these men have, by effluxion of time, been, or are being, relegated to the ranks of the "has beens" Auckland finds herself defeated by a union which she last year dressed down to the tune of 32 points to nil. The time is not far distant when they will have to reckon with the South Auckland Union, which though scattered, contains some first class men.

Bush, hon. sec. of the South Auckland Rugby Union, has received the following letter from the secretary of the New Zealand Rugby Union with reference to the inclusion within the boundaries of the new union the Maniapoto sub-union:—"My committee has received a telegraphed communication from the Maniapoto sub-union objecting to inclusion within the South Auckland bnion. Kindly advise that sub-union that the boundaries have been fixed by direction given in a resolution of delegates at their union's annual meeting, and that after careful consideratiion my committee came to the conclusion that the boundaries fixed were the most suitable, and consequently the Maniapoto sub-union has been included within the South Auckland area."

Mr Frank Summers, the popular salesman representing Messrs Denham Bros., Kockhampton, Q., writes: "I feel that it is my duty towards other sufferers to tell of my experience with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I had a very bad attack of influenza this past winter and was forced to lay up for several days. A fellow traveller advised me to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and I found nis advice proved good, for in a few days after I started to take it I was completely cured and was out on the road again. I find that a lot of my fellow travellers have taken Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and they all speak well of it. I can safely recommend it to anyone suffering from coughs, colds or influenza."
