Rugby Appreciated

+. ONE of the interesting letters received by Mr. Lemberg,. following on his interesting description of the Wellington versus Britain match at Athletic Park on June 3, was from the daughter of a veteran All Black. The writer was Miss M. G. Dumbell, whose father was a member of the first New Zealand team to go to Australia in 1884, and also an old member of the Wellington Athletic Club. She writes: "Although my father is now an invalid, he is still able to take a: keen interest in Rugby, and you can imagine how overjoyed he was when Wellington won on Tuesday. The description came through perfectly, and your account was so splendid we could follow every part of it." Mr. Lemberg’s mail has been heavy since the historic broadcast, the letters without exception testifying to the great interest taken in country districts in the result of the match and their appreciation of the fact that broadcasting was permitted.
