(Received November 5—12.155 — 12.15 p.m.) • r ■ Aijbany, Nov. 5. Advices . received from London to October sth, give particulars regarding the first match played by the Maori football team hi England, against the Surrey players. The spectators numbered 50,000 and they received the Maoris with loud and prolonged cheering. Keogh kicked off and the natives kept the ball well in SniTcy's twenty-five until on the point of half-time, when Surrey hy brilliant passing scored a try. The kick at goal was, however, a miserable failure. In the second part of the game, the great determination anb fine condition of the Maoris began to tell. From a scrum Lee and Ellison rushed the ball across the line, when Goldsmith fell ou it and secured a try, from which McCausland kicked a goal. The next try was got by Ellison, but, though the kick at goal was comparatively easy, McCausland failed to increase the score. The victory^ of the Maoris was deservedly popular.
