THE MAORI TEAM. ROUSING FAREWELL. BRISBANE, Monday. The Maoris were given a rousing farewell when they left Queensland today.

The team spent its last day in Queensland visiting farms where tropical fruits grow abundantly. The Maoris ate pineapples, custard apples and pawpaws to their hearts’ content. Two Newcastle three - quarters, Brown and "Hills, are included in the New South Wales team against the Maoris on 27th July.

The team is:—Full-back, Storey; three-quarters. Hills, Towers, Brown, Hooton; five-eighths, Primrose; halfback, Gibbons; forwards, Hodgson, McMastcr, Kelly, Ramsay, Walden, W.
