A correspondent signing himself, “Spectator,” writes as\ follows:—I see by your Toko corerspondent’s notes in your issue of Bth hist., some remarks of a football match played against a local team hy a team from Makanu, in which ho says the local team won somewhat easify and played with three men short. Well, 1 think those remarks need a little correction. Being a spectator, I am well prepared to say that the locals played a full team, and were very lucky indeed to get the win the referee gave-them at S to 3, for I think tho visitors about 12 to To points too good on tho day’s phiy, and I think on a neutral ground and the same teams playing, that Makahu would hold their own easily.
