SUNDRY SPORTS.
THE "ALL BLACKS'" TOUR.
[By Electric Telegraph—Cop fright] LUnited Press Association.]
Vancouver, November 26
Mr George Mason, manager of the team, interviewed, said that the New Zealanders are well-satisfied with the results of the tour, which was financially successful. The Americans knew little of Rugby, but the 15ritish Columbians, despite their poor showing, were a. much stronger aggregation. This was doubtless due to the fact that the players were largely newlyarrived Britishers.
The banquet proposed to be given to the New Zealanders at Vancouver has been abandoned because of Ogden's death.
The players will sail by the steamer Niagara.
