AUCKLAND.
INTER-PEOYINCTAL FOOTBALL MATCH. August 16.
About 1500 persons were present at the football match. The weather, which had been wet, cleared up, and the game was very well played throughout, the teams being evenly matched. Several good scrimmages and capital kicks were made, Auckland showing to best advantage in kicking, and Dunedin in scrimmages. Rose, Dixon, and Cargill were most active for Dunedin, and Wood, Nolan, and Robinson, for Auckland. In the first round, Dunedin was forced down, but no score was made. In the second bout Dunedin nearly made a touch-down, but Auckland saved it. In the third bout Dunedin got the best of a ten minutes' scrimmage, but without improving their advantage ; and in the fourth bout Auckland was twice forced down, but rallied, and pressed their opponents hard. The game ended in a draw, neither side scoring. There seemed to be hardly anything to choose between the teams. The National Bank has written to the City Council, offering to take L 25,000 of the Waterworks Loan at 98 net, or to float it at the best price on behalf of the Council.
Alburnia shares have advanced from L 3 10s. to L 5 10s. since yesterday. o
