Yetterday during a vist of inspection of the line the directors of the Manawatu Rail- a 7 Compj py took occasion to to t the hpeud capacities of th? line, and particulaily of the newest of the Baldwin engines imported from America. Otaki, about 48 miles from town, was reached m 78 minutes, m spite of two steep banks; the run from Otaki to Longburn, 37J miles, was finished m 36 minutes, or an average rate of 48 miles an hour.

Bastings an opportunity of giving the details of his scheme of co-operative industrial settlements, which he con siders will solve the charitable aid dill- • "ulty. The outlines hav« already been brought before the local bodies of the colony. After he had explained the details, the following resolution wan carried:—"This meeting, while recog nising the great evils arising from irregu larity of employment, also from the defects m the present' charitable aid system, is of opinion that those evils will be greatly lessened by the adoption of the a heme propounded by Mr Bastings, and strongly recommends the scheme to Government for favourable consideration.

PROPOSED TEAM OF THE WORLD. •a^M^M. It . (PJEE PRESS ASSOCIATION),, Wellington, July 21. Mr Hoben, Secretary to the New Zea land Rugby Union, ha*; suggested to the Commissioners of the Chicago Exhibition the holding of an International Rugby Football Tournament at the World's Fair, I m which a New Zealand team would take I part. The suggestion is approved by the 1 Premier, who has forwarded an introduc i tory letter with Mr Hoben's suggestions, expressing the desire of the Government that they should be adopted. The pro posals are that » New Zealand team, which he proposes should leave here at the end of July, '93, play m Australia m August, the United Kingdom iti October, November, and December, and should return via the States with an English team, play Harvard, Yale, and Princeton Univereites, hi New York, etc., and at Chicago meet English, American, and combined American Universities and Canadian teams, returning' to New Zea land m March, 1894. Mr Hoben's en quiries indicate that if the proposals are adopted a team will be welcomed m the States, whero Rugby football has made great strides of late, and is now a fashion able game. It woulp also meet the desire of the English Union to popularise the game m America.

ASHBURTON v. TIMARU.

On Thursday the Ashburlon team travelled to Timaru by the forenoon train to play their first foreign match. On arrival they were met by the Tinuru team and taken to the CJub Hotel, wher*> some light refreshment was provided for them. They were then ■ driven to the ground m one of Shaw's drags viMi a four-in-hand team. Floating gaily m the breeze was the Club's pretty banner, which was much admired. No time was lost m making a start. In the absence of Mr A, A. Fooks the Ash burton team was captained by Mr D. T. Todd, Mr F. Perry officiating m a like capacity for Timaru. Losing the toss/ Todd kicked off, but the ball was quickly sent into touch by Story, the Timaru full back. On the line out Ashburton got the ball and started a rutih which ended m a scrimmage close to the Timaru line. Ashburton heeled out nicely, but Proctor kicking allowed a force. Cocks kicked out and D. Price returned to touch. After a lot of give and take 'play Me Guineas got possession and made a vory good run, but was nicely grassed' by Simpson, and shortly afterwards Ashbur ton was awarded a free kick, but nothing resulted. The Timaru backs then began offensive operations, but D. Matson was there, and Clowes, 11. Fooks and Healey dribbled back into Timaru territory ; but Perry getting the ball started a fine run and passed to McGuiness who scored. An unsuccessful appeal was. made for for ward passing, and Rutherford took the try and placed a neat goal, just before half time was called. Score— Timaru 5, Ashburton nil. In the second spell Perry kicked off. The ball was well returned^by D. Price, and a good deal of scrimmaging followed, m which Cromie, Burifi>and W. Price shone. Moses got a mark, and from a difficult angle Clowes made a splendid attempt at goal. The Timaru line was here m jeopardy, bub their backs with a brilliant) rush took the game right up the ground, where Perry was awarded a frte kick for obstruction. Moses returned, and Young getting possession passed on to Wigley, who ran m and scored; Rutherford placing another goal. After the kick off by Todd the play was forward, and very much give and take, the Timaru backs always saving after their scrimmage was routed, Perry had Matson continu ally m trouble. Now and again Wilson I got a short run, but he was too well I watched. On one oocasion he had the jersey torn right off his back. Proctor and Moses, half-backs, worked very hard against superior back combination, and gained frequent applause. Some very fierce scrimmage work took place close to Timaru line, and a score seemed immi nent, but eventually J. Perry got the ball, and though colla.recl by Matson just on the line, managed to store.' Rutherford faUed this'tir^e, lhou#h the kick was easy. TJiegame soon, afterwards ended, w,ith the score \& pointy Ash gurtori,'nil. The Aw^m-fccm forward* played a splendid game. They worked the scrums just as they liked, and it was only the superior back play of their opponents that decided the game against them. The greater part of the time the play was m the Timaru twenty-five, their line being continually menaced. . Mr Pitcaithley officiated as referee, wil h Sfr T,, flsott ancKanother" gentleman as lii.c judges. Ihe referee's dec'sions Were very unsatisfactory, and met with strong marks of disapproval from some of the spectators, who c^nsic^Qred A^hburtori Unfairly treated.
