One, by AVest, comprises the training operations of AA’ebb. the start and finish of the race at Searl’s Monument. Another view is given following the race on a motor launch, showing the race from start to finish and the New Zealander’s victory. Two of the All Blacks’ matches are shown, when the record attendance of fifty-two thousand persons were present. Other films of interest and humor will be shown.
