Unlucky Aucklander.—Mr. W. G. Kalaugher, formerly of Auckland and now of Oxford, has been extremely unlucky with injuries this season! and capped everything by dislocating his shoulder and thus putting an end to his very good chances of a Rugby blue. He is reading mathematics in preparation for the B.A. Final Schools next June.
