Football
This Is the way the game is played at Pahiatua according to the Woodville Examiner : — A football match was played on Saturday between the local team and Tutaekara natives which resulted ia a free fight between, several of the parties. ; It appears that McCardie, and a native were engaged in a maul in gaol, aud instead of the teams leaving it for the two parties to settle, rushed in on the ball. While this was going on, one of the Pahiatua team a (visitor) pulled •one of the natives off with the result two of the native team struck him and hence the quarrel. It was very laughable to see one of the local farmers, who •could not etaud the idea of two men ■on to one, as he slaughtered the native round the paddock.
