STOP A COUGH IN ONE NIGHT.

TUSSICURA, King of all Cough Cures. A Cough may be due to any of the following:— CATARRHAL COLDS, INFLAMMATION, ENLARGED TONSILS, PNEUMONIA, INFLUENZA. CONSUMPTION ENLARGED UVULA, PLEURISY AND CROUP, INFLAMED THROAT, STOMACH DISORDERS, BRONCHITIS, asthma! A cough may be dry and hard, or loose, with much expectoration; it may be catarrhal, with a dry tickling in' the throat, accompanied with partial stoppage of Iho nostrils ami shortness of breath. TUSSJCvUvA removes the causo of tlio cough, not. smothering it, but curing the diseased conditions which produce it. It is admittedly ,<*■ scientific remedy, endorsed and used by doctors, and leading analysts S|>eaking ia the highest terms of it. It is infinitely superior to the ordinary cough mixture, luNrts or emulsions, which are for the most part of no practical value except to c.w the cough for the time being. Tussioura, the Great Cough and Cold Cure, n'C only radically cures the most stubborn coughs, but strengthens the lungs and affords perfect ease in breathing. Ask for Tussicura, tho Great Cough Cure—ls, Gd., 2s, 6d., 4«. Gd., all cliemists.—AdTt,

Opening with a spirited rally, the match between Petone and Oriental at tho Park on Saturday ran its course in a tempest of effort and ended in a tough locked struggle. It was a splendid combat that will leave memories in its wake. Chance enabled tho Rugby Union to give the gamo a prominence that it well deserved. It was played up and down the long field, parallel with the stand, and there was no "competing attraction."

Glistening sunshine in the opening spell enhance a contest that, as has been hinted, was full of animated change. Iu the second spell there was sterner work, of which more presently. Over tour thousand people viewed the match, and there wero a lew moiu-iiits of silence for the note of (he crowd, as an indication of good or bad football, seldom fails. Any amount of shrill cries and expostulation may chide and deride poor fuotball, but there is a deep-throated roar that rises only in homage to strength and skill.' That was the kind of homago which was given to this match.

Good men, however, were absent from both tea.ns. Petono supporters hail to face the temporary loss of the Eyan brothers, and Oriental were without the invaluable "Pred" Roberts. The promoted youngsters in the l'ctono team acquitted themselves remarkably well, and it was really Oriental who suffered more by the alteration in personnel, 'lhere were limes when a .'ink between the forwards and the rearguard seemed to be badly wanted, and Roberts would no doubt havo ably filled the gap.

Playing in the opening spell with a steady southerly to assist them, Petono grasped tlu advantage with skill, and hold i,t, with few interruptions, until halftime was called. Practically every man in the subirban team was alert and on tho ball. Oriental, on the other hand, did any amount of honest work in slaving off that heavy series of attack after attack. Looking back over the game, it scorns probable that Petone in this prosperous opening spell heir' their opponents rather cheaply. Penned tip and harassed all tho time by an attack that was eonstanlly varied, Oriental wore tho appearance of a beaten team merely fighting against what they could not stop. Under tho circumstances tho suburban score was too small. When cno team holds another imprisoned almost for a completed spell it ought to carry a larger indemnity than eleven points. That Petono did not niako more was due simply to tho fact that their attack, though it had-any amount of sparkle, was a trifle lacking in weight. In lively, bustling footiyork Oriental were pushed back time after time, and tho passing of the Petono backs was a model of neatness and precision,, but a grand concentration of force iu a massed attack was hardly once attempted by tbo visiting team.

Resuming after half-time, Oriental got their own back and a trifle to boot. They were assisted by the breeze, now in their favour,- which had stiffened perceptibly. Throughout''its course, this spell witnessed altogether tougher work than the first. For once in a way the Oriental backs hardly counted. It was on the forwards that the brunt of the work fell, and they rendered yeoman service. Petone rose gallantly to the occasion, and threw any amount of dash into resisting the rushing Oriental pack, but they had decidedly the worst of it in the hard tense work that covered the greater part of tho spell. In tho last quarter of an hour Oriental, who had profited hitherto only by penalty iro'ils, struck tho keynote of victory. The solitary try • that camo to I hem late in tho day was the well-earned reward of a team working like clockwork and with force. They were gathering weight {or a second achievement of the same kind, and Petono were resisting as gamely as ever when time was called.

ORIENTAL-PETONE. GREAT GAME IN HOWLING GALE. Petone kicked off, and aide* by the strong gale, attacked hotly. Sound defence by Little and M'Leod staved them off, but they returned again hotter than ever. M'Kenzie secured, and a passingbout between him, Miller, and Daley was nicely nullified by M'Bain. Again tho wind (and the Tetone forwards) look tho bali down field, where Kinvig, however, got in a clever saving kick. From a penally, M'Farlane unsuccessfully essayed to open the score. Then Ramsden threw out to M'Kenzie, to Miller, to,Daley, to Boyd (a promoted junior), who raced to Patterson, side-stepped him, and dived over. Petoue, 3; Oriental, 0. With a scries of high kicks, Petone again made an onslaught, but Oriental, whose defence was good, were content to wait, and forcedowns came fast one after tho other. At length Pctone's full-back, Parker, took a mark on half-way, and M'Farlane, with a lovely shot, added another 3 points. Petone, 6; Oriental, 0. At the end of a good passing-run, Corson centred to Aston, the ball going over the line, and he raced up and fell on it. It looked remarkably like offside, but the referee ruled otherwise, and M'Farlane kicked another goad goal. Petone, 11 j Oriental, 0. Petone's backs were toon off again, the ball going to Daley, who, with a crowd of forwards round him, tried a pot. Tho ball, however, hit the post, and Oriental forced. But the struggle was not altogether one-sided. On three occasions Oriental made an attack on Petone's line, M'Bain, Perry and O'Brien being noticeable fov clever dribbling Once Mathieson was nearly over, but F. Ryan started a dribbling-rush, and play was transferred back again. M'Kenzie presently intercepted a pass, and broke right away, ran to the full-back, put in a Httlo kick, and raced for tho ball. He was, however, outpaced by Kinvig, and onlv a force happened. Once more Oriental," with a supremo effort, got closo to their opponents' liiie, but Little fell at a critical moment, which spoilt any chance they had. ,' ■ So far it had been Petone s game; but. on turning round with (he wind, Oriental mado things lively. Barber and Murphy boat Rvan and Dempsey for possession repeatedl'v, and Little soon'got his backs in motion." and rush after rush ensued, amid wild excitement. Stiirrock. fumbled twice, and spoilt any chances, but still, with forward rushes, high kicks, and parses, Oriental-hammered away, till at length they were rewarded with n penally, which Ackers sent straight oyer the bar. Petone, 11; Onen a , 3. Still battering away, Oriental, led by M Bain— tho best forward on (he ground—came at Petone again, and eventually secured another penally, which . Ackers again put over Petone. 11; Oriental, u. But the defence of Pelouo was still capital, and it was anybody's match. Ramsden, M'Kenzie Miller.'and Parker were very noliccnbl'e. worked like tigers, and tackled all ihev knew how. Again M'l.cod, Kin,j,r ;i'id Siurrock set tlio pno.> with a pood p;is.siiig-boul, Sturioclc rent red, and Petone were penalised, and once mere the reliablo Ackers put on another 3 points. Petone, 11; Oiental. !>. Excitcluc'it was intense, for Oriental's attack was brilliant, and Petone's defence even more brilliant. ■ It was a sight that conies seldom at the Park. Petone knew thai, if there were any inure points against them, (he game was los u . and (hey fought in a wav that was got.-! (o watch. But eventually a great Oriental rush by M'Bain, Perry, O'Brien, and Murray could not bo stopped, and. after some ruck work on the line, M'Bain sent to Mathieson, who only had to fall over. Petone, 11; Oriental, 12. It was all over .niih.' the subui-ba-niles now, for only a

miracle could havo averted defeat, and that miracle never came. When "uoside" sounded, Oriental were on the point of scoring agaiu. Mr. W. Spencer wivs referee. Tho whole of the Petono team played with white bands on their arms on Saturday, ns a mark of respect to tho late Mr. .T. Ryan, and to. Mi. Davis, who has recently had u bereavement in. his family, PONEKE-OLD BOYS. SIMPLE .AFFAIR FOR WINNERS. Poneke, who were minus the services of Ryan and Mitchinson, had the advantage of a strong diagonal wind in tho first spell. They fell on tho Old Boys •r™ tho start, and drove them back. Old Boys hugged the side-line, but gradu- , ally gave ground, until forced almost back to their goal line. Then, in tho simplest possible manner, Walsh, of To-' ncke, picked up the ball, elbowed his wny . across, and touched down. Old Boys did not seem to realise they were back in their own territory at tho time. ■Walsh's kick failed. Poneke, 3; Old Boys, nil. Old Boys still continued to hug the line, and made a number of sorties into tho bargain, but, every time, the superior play of tho Red backs nullified the advantage gained by their for-' wards, and back thev came again. Judd stooped down from his lofty height, pickeel up the ball, and entrusted it to winger Walsh, who again crossed and scored. This time Walsh kicked a delightful goal. Poneke, 8; Old Boys, nil. Then thero were lnirryings to and fro, and seasons of brilliancy among the Reds' backs. At last Morris transferred the leather to Edwards (Mitchinson's understudy), who gave it to Tilyard, who sent it along to Kelly, and Poncke's third try was notched. Walsh, for tho second time, judged tho windage nicely, and converted. Poneke. 13; Old Boys, nil. Tho change over brought little relief to tho Old Boys. They could not repeat their performance of the first round against tho samo opponents. Poneko went at them and the wind, with back passing rushes. Old Boys' backs were outclassed. Their forwards were fighting a more even contest, and once or twice tho two packs showed regrettable evidence of feeling. Sotheran, who played a rattling gamo for Poneke, had momentarily to retire with a painful ankle. Grace, whoso form was the best among the white rear-rank, secured a pretty mark, but the kick of Drake was a failure. Finally, Sotliovau gathered in , tho ball and scored easily for Poneke, but no conversion followed. Poneke, lCj Old Boys, nil. This success was repeated soon afterwards,, the scoring man being B. Cal< oinai. The failing light—tho game did not. start till 3.30 o'clock—made it difficult, now to follow the play. Old Boys gathered together for a final rush, and, swooping down-field, Freybsrg managed to cross and score a try. Drake did not convert it. Poneke, 10; Old Boys, 3. A few minutes later tho'whistle went. Ro« feree, Mr. H. Card.

. r, .ATHLETIC-WELLINGTON. WEAK TEAMS IN THE FIELD. Wellington, who were defeated by Athletic at Miraniar on Saturday week, had to submit to another defeat from the sam« club on Saturday. It was not, however, a crushing defeat, and, had the Wellington Club had its best team in the field,' Athletic would probably have been fully extended. The winners played without a couple of their best forwards, and Wellington mustered two men short, awl secured tho services of a couple of Ilult third-class players. Tho weather was fine, but tho ground was soft and slippery after the recent rains. Wellington won tho toss, and played in th« first spell with the. wind in their favour. For the first twenty minutes play hovered up and down field with monotonous regularity, the only interesting' feature being good line-kicking by Cunningham and Evensoa on the one side, and by Bridge nud Lambert on the other. Eventually the Athletic forwards, headed by A. Wilson raid Bell, set up a hot attack on the Wellington line, and kept it going until Bell managed to gain possession, and score in a good position, but Evensen failed wilh the kick. Athletic, 3; Wellington, 0. Shortly after tho drop-out, Levick, a prominent Athletic forward, kicked high, and led tho forwards in a following rush, in which Luoni secured (he ball, and got a try, which Evonsen converted, and tho spell ended: Athletic, 8; Wellington, 0. In the second spell Wellington commenced stronglv, and the Irons brothers, Sheehau, and Kirkwood were conspicuous in some good forward play. Tho efforts, however, were lacking in finish, and hence no scores resulted. Towards the finish, Athletic had all tho best of the game, and kept the Wellington men herded on 'the line. E. M'Donald mado a ncnl opening, and passed to Luoni, who sent the ball on to A. Wilson, who scored. Evensen foiled to co-avert. Athletic, 11; Wellington, 0. Just before call of time M'Vay scared after a fine run. This time A. Wilson took the kick, but missed the posts. Tho game ended: Ath. lelic, U; AVellington, 0. Mr. Tregcar was refsrec. SOUTHERN-MELROSE. ONE-POINT WIN FOR SOUTHERN, Southern and Melroso met on the bleak Polo Ground at Miraniar. Melrose played with a good deal of vim from tho start, and it was evident that the Southern backs would have to abandon their custom of gaping at the proceedings as if they were spectators rather than participants in the game. However, wlieu Melroso got near the line, they did not turn out t'o bo as dangerous as they' looked. There was only one score in tho (list spell, and that was credited to Southern. Tho latter had Melrose in a light: corner for somo time, but all. efforts to gain tho two yards necessary to cross the line were fruitless. A lineout came and a Melrose man made a break of the rules in throwing in. tho leather. A free kick, was awarded and Southern decided upon a kick at goal. There was a tricky ,galo blowing, and the-kick was from the side line, but Bradley gauged things correctly, and landed a beautiful .joal. Southern, II; Melrose, 0. Early in tho second spell Bradley pot away and, after beating a couple of men, passed to M'Donald who punted over the heads of the. opposition in front of him. Houlihan secured tho ball, and passed back to M'Donald, who scored. L. Campbell failed—a splendid kick, though—to convert'. Southern, li: Melrose, 0. The Melroso forwards were now playing well, particularly the Sullivaiis, ami spent most of the remainder of the spell on their own t-ide of hallway. From scrums right on the line Melrose men were twice nearly in and on Hie second occasion Murphy got over tho line, but was held up, and could not ifiouncl tho ball. A fine run by Poolcy was ended by the litlle three-quarter being brought down near tho line. II was nearly time for the sounding of "noside,'' and (he game seemed to have been already decided. But Melrose's hopea wore sent up wilh a jump. From out of a mix Murphy burst with the ball, mid ho Hashed past a couple of drowsy Southerns before they awoko and looked about, apparently with tho intention of passing, lie did not pass, however, hut went right on, and scored by tho posts, lie, perhaps, did the wrong thing in not
