I would have been an advantage tb oui reps could they haye"had' one more gam< .together Before the 'great, event, because on the last occasion of their playing the form was very poor. The team ; has suffered a severe loss in being deprived of the services of Arthui Parr, who is laid up with a swollen knee, the result ' of tripping while going up stairß. He is under the care of Dr Oharlton and iam afraid, from the report that gentleman makes of the hurt, that it is very doubtful whether hie will don. the red, white, and black again this year. The jip&in $be team for/ Wednesday will be fifletl by Matravers who goes back, while Johnson, lsi emergency, plays forward. The secretary of this Feilding Football Club, Mr Strachan, desires- me *o inform, all members, honorary and otherwise, who have not paid their subscriptions that on application to liim, or any member of the committee, they can procure tickets of membership which will give them the privilege .of jtee^admissipn .taall matches: Intending members would 3o well to procure these tickets at once as all non-mem-bers will be charged (barring the ladies) for the right of seeing the coming matches.
