The Minister of Lands does not think it his duty to occupy a Ministerial residence to entertain people. " Not but there are some nice people in Wellington," he admits, " but its out my line, and at my time of life I don't suppose I'd find much enjoyment in entertaining people, who, the moment they leave your house, talk about you."

The football match on Saturday last between the Paiaka and Foxton represen tatives was a very enjoyable affair. It was played on the racecourse. One side of the oonvinoing ground was occupied by a swamp, with a little lake here and there. By a curious sort of capilliary attraction the ball, no matter how kicked, seemed to make for this swamp, and consequently two-thirds of the game was played: in it. The delight of the players as tliey emerged from an exhilarating " scrum " in the mud was beautiful to see. Owing perhaps to the nature of the soil, only two men were " laid out " in the whole game, and, after they recovered consciousness, even these appeared to enjoy the fun very much. At all events they were to be seeti limping round the side-lines as nimbly and happily as could be expected under the circumstances, encouraging their mates to go in bareheaded and get laid out likewise.

The difficulty about getting the new American stripper to Paiaka has been surmounted by placing it upon a punt and getting the s. s. Ivy to tow it up the river.

The football match between the Paiakas and a Foxton team was played on Saturday afternoon on the racecourse. A good number of townspeople went out, as some expected to see a clo3e game, bnt they were disappointed, as the Foxton men more than held their own. The Paiakas wore a very light teata compared to their opponents, the Foxtou men averaging over a stone more. The Paiaka team was captained by Oswald Gardner, and the Foxton men by Fred Shadbolt. Two spells of 45 minutes each was played. Soon after the kick-off P. Robinson got in at the corner flag, and secured first blood for Foxton. The ball was taken out just beyond the 25-peg, and J. Howard placed a beautiful goal. The angle was an extremely difficult one, when it is considered that the ball was kicked from the line. Foxton 5 points, Paiaka •nil. O. Barber secured a mark just opposite the posts, and Howard again converted. No other score took place during ihe first spell although the ball was kept in Paiaka territory most of the time. The skipper and another of the Paiakas had to retire at this stage, through meeting with slight accidents, and were unable to take any further part in the game, which was a loss, as they were two of the best men. At half-time the game stood Foxton 9 points, Paiaka nil. In the second spell the Paiaka men made things very lively for their opponents, and compelled them to touoh down twice in a very short space of time. However, the Foxton men were soon again the aggressors, and several of the players were within an ace of scoring. Almost on tho point of time being called, F. Young secured the leather after many vain attempts, and made the run of the day by getting through, and touching down just behind the posts. The ball was taken out a short distance, and Howard kicked a very easy goal. The match resulted in a win for Foxton by 14 points to nothing. The game was played throughout in a very friendly spirit, no disputes of any kind arising to mar the pleasantness of the game. The ball was very slippery, as a mud-pool was here and there scattered over the ground. The backs had very little to do, tho forwards having all the fun. The best play was shown by P. Robinson, for the victors, who played a rattling game throughout. The others most conspicuous were O Barber, A Shadbolt, Chuck, Howard, \V. LiddeU. For the losers D. Gardner, W. Bevan, Hudson, and Beauchamp (2), played a good uphill game. Mr Nap Ileta made a most efficient referee, his decisions meeting with general approval, and tho duties of line-umpires was undertaken by Messrs J. Robinson and H. Bradcock. The return game will take place at Paiaka on Saturday, 25th inst.
