CAN RUGBY HOLD ITS OWN"?

: ■ OPINION OF AN. "ALL BLACK." Among the passengers from Sydney by the Slauuka yesterday was Mi , . E. E. Booth, advance representative for Mr. Lawrenc-3 Campbell, elocutionist, and il. Eugene Ossipbfl, the.Kussian vocalist, who aro to commence a tour of New Zealand in Wellington at" Christmas time. Mr. Booth is a New Zealaiider. Ho was educated at the Torrace School, Wellington, and afterwards went to Dunedin, where he was.locatod whou picked to go to England with the "AH Black" football team. At that time Sir. Booth was a prominent three-quarter and full-back player in the Kaikorai Club. On his return he took up his residence in Sydney, and last year was selected to.tour England with the "Wallabies." . During last season Mr. Booth captained the Newtown Club," Sydney, which captured the premiership, and went thrdugh tlia cntiro 'season without n lose. ■'.: ■-. '•■ ' Mr. Booth says that an.. Australia'.! Northern Union team is to«tonr England next year, but so fair-there is no" talk of any big Kugby developments. He still -believes Rugbv to be superior to Northern Union rules, whilst admitting tho popularity of the latter. "One thing you must remember;" said Mr. Booth, "is that the Northern, Union; team which came out last year "were all. stars—the pick of Lancashire and York's best. It was little wonder that'they drew the ]>eople, but what you have to consider is: Would it he such a good game when played, by..the clubs? A brilliant star teani playing any game would, always draw. In my opinion Rugby/affords more scope for the exercise of brains in evolving tactics to outwit'the other side, and several players who have gone over to the Northern Union game have admitted that Rugby .is still the best'-.game, but thero was money in the Northern' Union game. That was the. factor which made many good Rugby , players-take it up—not that it is a better game." .. ■ . AtHUETIC MEETING. ... CiYip SERVICE -CLUB..; .;.

SPORTS' CARNIVAL.

The. committee of .the. Wellington Ama-'j teur Athletic; Club' met. last night, and' affairs in connection, with''the shorts meetings on the . Basin Reserve on Saturday were finally dealt with.. The various sub-committees reported that all matters in the Various.departments were, well in hand. On the.recommendation of the programme committee two races for. St. Patrick's College wore added to'the list— the boys having'guaranteed an entry of twelve in. one event and fourteen iri' the other: --One other slight alteration was made—a hop-stcp-and-jump being substituted for the! broad jump now appearing'.on the programme. This will : give M Kay a'chance to break tho New Zea.i standard of 44ft. fpr this event,, a feat which-he is confident of doing. The Wairarapa contingent will aii?ive to-day, and from reports that have been received, they include in their. number some rery' fair performers. J. Bradbury,,. is reported to be ruhning" w'fll, and" Tiis reappearance on ft Welliiigtqnitrack,.after an absence of ifour years,: will he an event •of .much interest. '■ Speculation is already .rife as • to:how. our local niilers, Baster and Binriy, will fare with" ; the veteran... The appearance of the recently, arrived '"shot-putter from Scotland, Ales.
