A LETTER FROM LILLY WHITE. ANOTHER EXCUSE FOR THE DEFEAT IN AUCKLAND.
Writing to the secretary of the New Plymouth Football Club, Air ,J, Li lI \ white, the manager ot the English Footbalf Team, f-ays — "Our follows -poilt their win on Saturday by getting licked yesteulay; not by Auckland playing beticr than on Satin day, but through half our men being '.settled' through fast life. J-falf-.\-do/en worked like Tiojans, but that was no good. Most of the re.st were '.still 'uns.' They might liavo kept quiet till the match was o\cr. Thanks ior kind wishes for our feucecs throughouu Au-^tialia, but 1 fear we shall not bo able to play the Victorian game well enough to cause any excitement over it — at leas>t, in the h'r&t leu matches. After that ouv men might improve."
