When m Sydney recently, George Aldridge, secretary of the Council, arranged with Billy McAllister; the leading, boy m the bantam : division, to make a trip to New Zealand.

It will show the- best from Australia against the two best boys m New Zealand. '..'■/. \ And what is wrong with an Australasian championship contest? Just think of that and sit ba^ck and await McAllister's arrival. ■ iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
