MAORIS VISIT ETON
FIND THE WALL GAME DULL Australian and N.Z Cable Association. LONDON, November 16. The Maori Rugby team visited Windsor ■ Castle, and later saw Eton’s famous wall game. The Dean of Windsor (the Rev. J, H. Bailey) told tho Maoris the story of the Garter in the Chapel Order, aud also showed them the room where Shakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” was first played by the Choristers before Queen Elizabeth. % Eton’s wall game proved so inysterous with its bullies, getters, calxcs, and other technicalities that the Maoris, half-way through, deserted their places on the front wall and went to watch two junior house teams playing Rugby. The Maori visitors divided themselves into two bodies and cheered ou the r* spective sides to victory.
