ASSOCIATION GAME.

By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. A cable received to-night states the New South Wales Association team Is not coming this season.

A rather laughable incident occurred in the Rugby contest between Patea and Kaponga thirds recently, says the Patea Press. One of tte latter's players got a nasty kick on the shin and stopped to nurse his Injured limb. Immediately from the touchline there came running a lusty boy who greeted the player with the words, "Are you hurt,, father ?" And the thirds are supposed to be youngsters.
