EULOGY ON STEEL. CHRISTCHURCH, Aug 15. Comment in the “Sun” says: “ Steel the right wing, was both brilliant and sound, doing a lot of work well, and showing up n whofe lot better than in the inter-island game a few weeks ago. His try made the match a memorable one, and was a magnificent effort at a time when the Springboks were attacking with scores level. II E. Nicholls cross-kicked to the New Zealand twen-ty-five and Steel was close to the hometeam’s goal-lino. When the kick was made lie. came up like a, flash; the hall bounced high in front oi him. As it came down again the speedy winger gathered it in tlie air, bringing it against one arm, then getting the other hand to it he raced for tho African line close on 70 yards -way. Meye-,-hased him hut could not catch him. Sit'd capped his sensational taking of the ball splendidly in a fast run by crossing tlie line well out, then shaking off Mover, who was inside him, ran along behind the posts before he touched down.” THE N.S.W. TEAM. ROTORUA, Aug. 15. New South Wales easily defeated Bnv of Plenty hv 29 points to three. The weather was fine and the ground fairly dry. The attendance was about 1000. The visitors’ cleverness and combination was altogether too ranch for the Bay tea pi. who only scored a goal from a free-kick in the first spoil, and were utterly overwhelmed, particularly in the second spell,
