Football Notes
The New Zealand Rugby football team played a trial match in Wellington yesterday. The game was open and fart and resulted in a win for the picked team by seveu points to four. Shannon, tbe representative from this diatriot, was amongst the winners and distinguished himself by carrying the ball through the forwards and passing to Wynyard, who scored. It was rather amusing on Saturday last, says the Hawera Star, when the native team from Taipurohenui was t playing the Manaia junior* to hear the natives singing out "Flee kick," and holding up their hands in the most approred fashion on the slightest provocation. One of the natires " brought down the house " when one of his own side was playing a bit off side by yelling out *' How's that lefelee."
