(PER united press association). WELLINGTON, Sept. 29. The return football match between New South Wales and a Wellington team was played this afternoon. The Sydney Team only arrived about one o’clock from Christchurch. The weather was unfavorable for football, the strong N.W. wind blowing preventing any of the men making good kicks. The N.S.W. had the best of the game throughout, and won by one goal (kicked from field) and two tries—eight points to nil. The Team left tonight for Napier and Auckland. Owing to tiie delay they are unable to play against Napier. The Government have since the session received a large number of applications for complete copies of the statutes of 1882, but although the Government printing office machines have been kept constantly at work, and the assistance of private offices secured as far as possible, a fortnight more will certainly be required to complete the work. The Session Statutes will fill nearly 900 pages, and they will be published in two volumes. The Consolidation Measures represent a large proportion of the bulk, but do not account for the exceptional increase in size. The statutes of 1880 occupy 279 pages, and 1881 takes 369 pages, against the nearll 900 of the late session. AUCKLAND, This Day.
