NEW PLYMOUTH.

Dear Bee, September 20. The Auckland and the Taranaki representative football teams played A MATCH in the Recreation Grounds last Thursday- afternoon, and it ended in the visitors winning by 5 to nil. The day was endowed with splendid weather, so there was a large attendance, including numbers from the conntry nifd surrounding districts. In the evening the Star Football Club held their ANNUAL SOCIAL in the Theatre Royal, so the visitors were able to attend, and as the men were in the majority I am sure everybody enjoyed themselves, besides

having excellent music rendered by McKinnon Bain's orchestra, and a good supper. The arrangements were carried out by a committee of ladies. Mesdames Dockrill, E. M. Smith, Bennett, and Ryan, assisted by Misses H. Humphries, S. Capel. Hursthouse, and Maud Capel, and the greatest praise is due to them for their untiring efforts to make the dance a success. The duties of M.C. were carried out by Messrs. E. and A.Humphries, while the energetic secretary, Mr C. Lever, took great pains to look after the enjoyment of those present.
