FOOTBALL.

10 THE EDITOR OF ''THE FRESS."

Sir, —As probably most of your readers are aware, the annual match. College v. High School, is to be played at the Show Grounds, in front of ciio stand, on Wednesday next. The Rugby Union advertise the game as real Rugby football, and those of us who hare attended their annual matches know that there we seo the best exposition of the game as it should oe played. The accommodation for tbe public is probably the best in Now Zealand, and the true sporting spirit, of the Rugby Union is shown by their contributing the net proceeds of this, Erobably their best match from- a nancial aspect, to the Lady Liverpool Trench Comforts Fund.

Doubtless the public will be there in thousands to see'what should be the treat of the year so far as football is concerned.—lours, etc., R. J. MAXWELL. Edinburgh, Lower Riccarton, July Bth, 1918.

When our troops retook Neuve (says a correspondent of an exchange) for the first time, they found two babies m the trenches, who, it was afterwards found, had been rescued from the villag« by our men under heavy shell fire a nd taken there for security. Apparently tiie Germans had not heeded the babies during their brief occupati6n of tJiese trenches, and they are now in a British hospital and qttite flourishing. After i recent bombing raid two of our signallers were found killed side by side, and lying between them unhurt was a child wlin- they had clearly placed there for protection during the attack.
