WHERE TO GO TO-DAY.

I FIRST-RATE RUGBY BILLED. The weekly official note from Iho Rugby Union reads as follows:—Tho representative match at tho Athletic Park between tho North Island and South leland country teams is expected to attract a large attendance this afternoon, despite the counter-attraction of the cup fixture, Potono v. Athletic, which will also draw a large attendance to tho suburban ground. The north team has shown good football during their southern four being defeated by Canterbury by but ouo point, by Otago by tlireo points, and 6cored a win ovor Southland. They have many players well known to local enthusiasts. Tho record of tho south team on their' northern tour is not so good as that of their opponents, as, in each of three matches, fairly, Inrgo scores hnvo been registered against them, although their showing against tho strong Wellington team on 'Wednesday was surprisingly good, and showed that tho team is equal to better than their record suggests. Athletic r. Petono has been talked of for some time. This afternoon will decide whether Athletic havo any chanco in this year's competition. They hnvo an excellent forward team, and it appears probable that the game will devolve into a duel between the suburban team's backs and tho city forwards. Arrangements have been made to accommodate a large number of patrons, and a special train will leave Lambton at 2.30. running through without a stop •to.Petone.
