MAORIS IN ENGLAND
VISIT TO WINDSOR AND OXFORD. By Telegraph—Press Assn —Copyright Received Nov. 17, 5.5 p.m. London, Nov. 17. The Maori Rugby team visited Windsor Castle and later saw Eton's famous wall game. The wall game proved so mysterious with its bullies, getters, calxs and other technicalities that the Maoris, half-way through deserted their places in front of the wall and went to watch two junior house teams playing Rugby. Hera the 35 Maoris divided into two bodies, and cheered the respective sides to victory. Earlier, Dean Bailey told the Maoris the story of the garter in the chapel of the order, and also showed them the room where Shakespeare’s Merry Wive of Windsor was first played before Queen Elizabeth.
