FERMENT IN SOUTH
(By Telegraph.)
(Special to the "Evening Post.")
DUNEDIN, This Day. One of the main topics of conversation in the south is the Otago-Soulh-land Ranfurly Shield match tomorrow, and while the supporters of both sides! are optimistic of the result, a studied j survey of the position would appear to favour Otago, especially if conditions are at all favourable for their fleet-footed backs. The weather this week, however, has been wet and unless a strong drying wind is experienced Carisbrook Park will be heavy. A crowd of 30,000 is expected. No fewer than eleven special trains and I feeders are being run from Invercargill. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, This Day.
