FOOTBALL.

THE ENTERTAINMENT QCESTION. (To the editor.) Sir,—Kindly allow me space in your columns to correct an impression that might lie gained by your readers in respect to the Clil't >n Football Club's decision not lo entertain or be entertained. Heading the report, one would naturally think the club inaugurated the system imposed, but such is not the case. 11. was the unanimous feeling of the meeting that the step taKon by other clubs in deckling not to entertain visiting teams was not one that would assist in cementing thegood feeling that should exist between footballer's, but us the club is not a strong one financially or numerically, it could not entertain without that courtesy being returned. Another error that crept in (probably the fault of the p.d.) was that the club hnd a balance of X2O Os Ud. Unfortunately tin's should read £2 Os 2d. ]f we possessed the former amount, we should have no hesitation in entertaining whether we were entertained or not. —I am, etc.. TIIOS. BUCHANAN, Sec. Clifton Co.,(ball Club.

The annual meeting of the TaranaM Kugby Pnion. which should hit\f> been held this owning al Stratford, has been postponed. The Smith Wellington and Southern .Football clubs will amalgamate this .season.
