I habod ! How are th- nullity fallen ! -The pri-le of vuetcl»u<l*H loHbtllfrs is s i ick n m the cu-u. and lliere ire sourjils of deep bjimn fiiion from a multitude ol tbe ditap|hji!ihcl arid ehu^i inei. I'lie great eu«mj'lon tenm, went forth to batlle w>lu songs of (iiunpn and r« J licintj. 'J lie loud timbrel was soutnied oYr Waiieinaia's dark sea, and amuhsl the waving of p >cUet h«mdk<»ieliiefs, and the i.uVriiot.ale. * Good byes" of fair ones v\ b«»*e besoms swelled wi'h anticipations of corumg inumciis, 'be lusty leaiiier-ihretli-ois vieiitu^ against tb'Muighly men of the South. \lieaciy f.ur fingers were busily we«vji)^ laurel wreaths iodrck iheircn mly brows, u! ready lor them was Hie rub\ wine spark ling, and ibe i-i -* t lurkt-y gobbling, when. I» ! came news of disaster and defeat Footballers met in tbe street and asked each ulber why was vis tliif-ne^s. Fair maidens paused m knitcng the slippers aud smoking enps designed to commemorate the t ictory of their chosen knigbts, and in tearful accents asked. " can such tbings be and overcome us like a summer cloud ?" ' Veni vide!' smashed, flabbergasted, knocked into a cocked hat ! Why endeavour longer to conceal the sad, horronful story? Why Btuotber the grief tliat is gna^iug at our bea't-stn gs, and wasting away our 100 susC. pli'>le gizzards? hnouifl* that th« flower oj Auckland, ihe chosen of Parnell, and Grafion Road, went forth like lusty giants to ttie Iray, and returned shorn of their 1 >cks, seasick, bruised, crestfallen. To uxe a vulgar Mtmle they " went in lemons and came out squeezed." The poet says :—: — " Hut when all is passed, it is humbling to tread O'er the weltering field of the tombless dead." Lo ! but a few short days hare stolen by. and the erstwhile p>oud aud confitent sliuk home along the by wa> s and back-lanes, shunmug the gaze of i heir fellows. How sadly sounds ihe following brief telegram which is all that records their return : — "' the footballers passed into town to day, without ostentation, beaien -everywhere, including laiauaki." Joy is turned into mourning, at>hes have been thrown in the sward, and the well is choked u»». But where, oh where are tbe leather medals winch should be readr to cousole the weary and wounded warriors ? Alas ! ischo au.swer>, — where ? The moral of this tour and us results may be easily learned,—" Count not your chickeus before they are hatched," "Do not h»lloa until you are out of the wo »d." That Auck land's team has done its best to win, is nnly what niijjht have been expected, but that it went abutb >ut it in any sort of fashion thai promised tbe ghost of a shadow of success, we deny, it was simply a foolhardy, rash attempt to snateu success without cal dilation of the odds, aud without preparation for contingencies. Tbe foud vnion of a thort b illmnt campaign, in winch, Taranaki, Wellington, Canterbury, and Nelson should be beaten in rapid succession has been rudely dispelled. Jt *as rank absurdity to*upp se lor an iustant thit a numoer of y<»ung men could the tossiug and tumbling, th--worry, vicissitudes, and constitutional disabilities, ot a aea pat&a^e, and perchance a rouuh one, and then ru>L ashore and bidd di fiance to all the kno*n laws of pujMcal Limning and calculation of human nieami to human ends. It waslh« iviy acme ot vanity and conceit to suppose that a number ot )ouug men habitually given losedeuteiy pursui:s. aud only practising football a< a weekly pastiuie, • men, unu^eu to travelling by M-a,— couid >tand tbe wear aud tear 01 shoit steamer lassaye*, and withou< time lor recuperaiion. re»t. or atiequal< practn'e, compete with any chance of suicess against men who baa been Mram u</ every nerie for werks, who had the advauta^es of being at hom«-, aud thotoiiguly acquainted wuh the grouud.

From «h» i very bottom of r>u»* l»eart we pity them in their hurnili^li n ' But sympHt'iy h«s notliinj; whatever 'o do with U<e principle of the thinjf. The fact re* nißins th t Ihe Auckland tram has been defea<ed in a manDCT most nnjiati»«factory- 1(> those vrho^e obaropiooa they professed to be. inasmuch as thej played under circumstances irlich rendered defeat inevitable. Thelegson of this grand football tour and its huniiliatiojf r» fiiiltH may be'^prplied byany maflr"tfr the affairs of eyerv-day life — " m'v<>r underrHte the enemy — never over-estirnae" /our ru«n p«»wer."
