Referee Carried Off. As it was obvious that none of the players required assistance, spectators at a senior Association football match at Blandford Park, Auckland, on Saturday were somewhat mystified when the referee sounded inree short blasts on his whistle, the signal that medical attention was required. It then became apparent that the referee himself was the victim. He had developed cramp in both legs, and it was finally found necessary to carry him from the field. The game was held up for several minutes before a substitute could be found to take the whistle.

Uniform Voting System. Efforts to have adopted a uniform system of voting in municipal elections are being made by the Municipal Association of New Zealand, according to a letter received by the Christchurch City Council. • The letter from the municipal association said that the executive had recently discussed the voting systems used in municipal elections throughout New Zealand, and representations had gone forward to the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon W. E. Parry, that a uniform system of voting be adopted throughout the Dominion at municipal elections.
