SYDNEY, January 8. Following are comments in the English Press o:i the New Zealand football team's matches :—
The London "Daily Telegraphs" says: 'The New Zealandere showed a gratifying improvement in their 'match against the combined side of Dewsbury and Batley Clubs. The game, in the early stages, was very evenly contested. The only score in the first half was a try, obtained by the Home team. The | second half .Was crowded with exciting incidents, marking exceedingly clever play on the part of the colonial backs. TTiis, however, was not- before Dewsbury had added another try. From this point, the All Blacks attacked very strongly, and in quick succession tries were obtained by Johnson, Smith, and! Wynyard, while three goals were kicked by Messenger, the colonials win nina- by 18 to 8." .
