SYDN.EY, .Tunc 0. New South Wales defeated the Maori team bv 11 points to nil. The weather was fine 'but bitterly cold, .and the attendance was' about ten thousand. The home team won the toss and thereby gained an .advantage. The New South Welshmen's combination was superior and they displayed line tackling powers. Shortly before the end of the first hall' Sellars had to retire with a broken rib, .and immediately afterwards the first score appeared from a fine run by Campbell, and Row '•onverted. The spell ended in Xew South Wales's favour bv five to nil. In the second half H. Martin took S.dlar's place, but thougTT the visitors had the wind at their backs, they failed to hold their own, the Welshmen's superior condition and combination telling. Widmer added «a couple of trios for the home team, the shot at goal in each case failing. Tic visitors sho.wed evidences that, they have nc;t yet had time to develop their true form.
