THE ALL BLACKS.

THE BIGGEST SCORE OF THE TOUR, VANCOUVER DEFEATED BY 49 TO NIL. Vancouver, February 14 The All Blacks defeated a picked Vancouver team by 49 to nil. Nine thousand people saw the match, the largest- crowd that has ever attended a sporting event in Vancouver. The visitors showed the local men lmw the Rugby game should be played, running up the highest score of their tour. Sporting experts are loud in their praises of the New Zealanders’ work. A feature of the game was a try scored by Nepia. He sneaked up quietly on the threequarter play and before the Vancouverites knew what was happening, he had the ball over the line. Richardson, the captain, was, of course absent with a broken leg and Porter’s training accident injury is still painful enough to keep him off the field. THE BROWNLIE TROUBLE. London, February 14.

All Blacks' match and decided to censure Edwards for undue roughness. The New Zealand Union will deal with the report referring to Cyril Brownlie.
