Sandon Football.

effect of games rpon the national character cannot be gainsaid. The cricket field teaches strategy and quick decision. Football, equally useful in these, is perhaps the best school of discipline of any Earn" we have. It is therefore always interesting to see the young taking their part in the field r.ud those who have left themwatoli the games with great interest. We all followed with eagerness the "All Blacks" and we are equally keen in our local teams, eveu if they cannot meanwhile show the form of a Wallace or a Roberts. So it was with great regrot, I am sure, of all who fake an interest in tho district that your account of the football club meeting at Sandon showed there was schism amongst ihe players. Can the breach not be healed? The Sandon team have taken a splendid part in the matches of the distirct and must be much weakened by the loss of the players who resigned, some of whom have learnt the game with the Sandon Club. So we all hope that the good offices of someone will be available to try and smooth over any rn-'fled feeling and the resignations withdrawn.—Yours, etc., JAMES G, WILSON.
