DUNEDIN AT BLANDFORD PARK TO-NIGHT The latest innovation eff playing football by artificial light will be repeated at Blandford Park this evening, when the full strength of the Auckland representatives wil be tried out against the team of H.M.S. Dunedin, which is one of the strongest combinations in the Dominion. While in Wellington the team of the flagship defeated the Wellington reps, and also Petone, the champion club of New Zealand last season as winners of the Chatham Cup.
