RUGBY RULES.

N.Z. SUGGESTIONS SUPPORTED. (Received Wednesday 7 p.m.) LONDON, November 3,

The "Daily Chronicle" critic, in examining the proposals New Zealand Is submitting at the forthcoming meeting of the Rugby International! Board, agrees that in th e vast majority of cases tries are more important and more deserving than dropped goals, and hope s the conference will at least reduce the points for the latter to'three. He supports the New 'Zealanders' suggested'' alteration of the rule, whereunder a man off-side is not put on side till an opponent has touched or kicked the ball. He recommends that lines be drawn parallel to the touchlines five yards inside, and that nobody be allowed between the lines during line-outs. Though he admits it will probably be regarded as heresy to adopt any Northern League rule, he strdrigly favours that preventing a scrum half crossing to his opponents' side until the latter has the ball in his hands.

WORLD SINGERS. •For some years past, every vocalist of note who has visited New Zealand has praised Flueuzol a*s an ideal. gargle lor clearing the throat and invigorating the vocal chords. Master Sullivan, of the VanhurghBoucicault Company entirely lost his voice early in the Wellington season. His mother writes that a gargle with Fluenzol was wonderfully successful.
