' I am the football of Fate,' said the miserable tramp to the crowd assembled round the entrance to the field. And forthwith they took him in and fed and clothed him, for they were all enthusiasts of the game. We have pleasure in drawing attention to the advertisement of Messrs. Barton, Magill and Co, billiard table manufacturers, of Auckland, which appears elsewhere in our columns. The firm have the reputation of turning out a first-class article at a price which defies the competition of imported goods. —^* t Last week a cablegram appeared in the daily newspapers stating that A. J. Body of Australia, now in England, had succeeded in winning the one-time famous Cuca Cup. This intelligence was gladly received by all Australian cyclists who were pleased to gee an Australian score in a big event at Home ; but unfortunately, owing to some bungle, Body's name was given as the winner, whereas it should have been that of Jack Green, who visited Australia last season. How the mistake has cccured it is difficult to cay, for tbe telegraphic authorities could hardly mutilate Green's name into Body. The blunder was discovered through the DunJop Co's cabling home for particulars of Body's win, as to the distance of the race etc. In reply the intelligence was flashed back that ' The Cuca Cup was won by J. Green on Dunlop.' The query now is — How did Body's name come to be mixed up in this matter I The mistake did not occur at this end, for the cablegram delivered in the first instance i clearly gave Body aa the winner of the Cuca Cup. # * I|[
