Our Footballers at 'Ome.
STILL UNBEATEN.
London, September 80. The New Zealand footballers played the fifth match of their British tour today against Leicester, and won by 28 points to nil. The success of the visitors in their previous matches had aroused considerable interest in the game against Lei* coster, and quite twelve thousand persons were present. In previous games the New Zealanders had the best of the game from the jump, but this was not ao to-day, as the Leicester men held their own excellently for the first half-hour, and the colonials were unable to break through the home defence. It was towards the end of the first ■pell that the colonials commenced to liven up, with the result that before the close of the game, six tries were scored by the aid of Smith, Wallace, Mynott (5), Abbott and Tyler. Wallace converted all but one.
