FOOTBALL
The Native footballers played the •Wellington representatives on Tuesday, tho visiting team being - almost tho same as that which played here, Tho Maoris won by 4 points to 1, Wynyard, Elliott Madisjan and F. jWarhrick getting tries for the visitors and Nicliolls for the home team.
Footballers are discussing the probability of a visit to the Wairarapa of the Auckland representatives, who play at Wellington early next month. As they already have an engagement for. Taranaki, the chances of their coining is materially lessened. It would do 110 harm, however, to invite them to play us a match, and if their programme is susceptible of rearrangement, they would probably be willing to include a Wairarapa contest,
Tlie gate money at Monday's football match was £67. The Natives, who were entitled to 75 per cent of tho receipts, got £42 of this.
