A football umpire lias difficulties to contend with in Melbourne, vide the following: —“ As the players were leaving the ground for the pavilion, a rush was made at Mr J. J. Trait by a number of blackguards, who had congregated in the vicinity of the entrance gate, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he was safely escorted into the dressing-room.” We are not so bad as that, though the following from a Christchurch paper speaks ill for some spectators there :—“ A howling full of partisan spirit, and largely ignorant of the real courso and incidents of the play, did their level best to spoil the match between Sydenham and Christchurch on Saturday.”
