This is how they play football in Australia:—At the East Melbourne ground some 12.000 people paid 6d a head and got vastly more for their coin. Here Riohmond and “Ports” wero arguing who should meet North next Saturday in the Association final, and the discussion was distinctly willing. The two teams notoriously love each other like Heathens, and a lot of extra police had been laid on, but when Richmond, in the first quarter, kicked 5 goals 5 behinds to noth” I ing, Ports got properly aroused and waded in with vim—also with elbows, shoulders and feot. At half-timo the figures wero Richmond 6 goals 6 behinds to Ports’ 4 goals 2 behinds, but

immediately on resuming the former potted two more goals. Then someone’s elbow collided with an opponent’s eye, he retaliated viciously, there was a “ scrap,” and, before anyone could fully grasp the circumstance, a dozen players were letting out at one another right and left, and half the crowd had swarmed over the piokets into the melee, and was giving gratuitous ad- | vice, interspersed with prods, bangs, and kicks. It took the police, the umpire, and the more reputable supporters a good 10 minutes to sort things out. The game after that was flabby and discursive, and nobody seemed to care much what happened. Result was : Richmond, 11 goals 8 behinds ; Port, 7 goals 6 behinds. It was a nice, friendly game, the only unusual circumstance about it being that no one attacked the umpire.
