,ii . 'I The second part began with a miniature concert, in which the vocalists were Mrs Alexander and Miss Stephenson. The former sang with much effect "HBacio" (Areliti), and at the close was enthusias tically applauded. The lady was en cored, but simply bowed her acknow ledgments. Miss Stephenson's rendering of °an aria from "Traviata" (Verdi) was received equally woll, and an encore also demanded, which a bow gracefully ac knowledged. Tlie orchestral pieces were tho overture "Zanetta," and the "Turkish Patrol " march, the latter of which was evi dently the favourite, The second tourney opened with chal lenges as did the first, and the red side entered, marching anel counter-marching with the precision of drilled soldiers, under the superintendence of their marshal of the field, Mr W. Anderson. Tho marshal of the white, Mr J. M. Clark, then intro duced his side, which went through with a like success the same graceful evolutions before the game began. The space at com mand was none too large for the number of persons engaged in the display—nearly 60—but there was no suspicion of confusion or crowding.

RETURN OF THE FOOT BALLERS.

Tho Disputed Try,

The s.s. Hawea, with the Auckland foot ballers on board, crossed the Manukau bar at 0 o'clock this morning, and arrived at Onehunga Wharf about 0 o'clock. They were met at the wharf by Messrs W. 11. Vereker-Bindon, Isaacs, Orchard, W. W! Robinson, and Robert Graham, jun.j and were conveyed to town in two drags, arriving here at 10.30. Our boys look remarkably well lifter tlie trip; with the exception of Whiteside, who is very lame, and whose face still bears traces of tho honourable wound sustained at Dunedin. The team will be entertained at dinner at tlie Star Hotel to-night. Shortly after the arrival of tho team, a Star re porter interviewed the captain, Mr Thomas Henderson, with reference to the disputed try at Wellington. Mr Henderson states that prior to the kick-off the duties of the umpires were defined, it being an understanding that for every in fringement of tho rulos the ball should be called back. Just before Wellington obtained tho try, R, Allan, the Wellington back, threw tho ball in, arid Mr Cotter, our umpire, at once ordered it to be brought back. The Auckland forwards, hearing the order of the umpire, made no attempt to stop tlie Wellington man, who secured tlie try unmolested. CampbeJL the 'Wellington captain, relinquished his claim to the try, but said he would refer the matter to the Association. Mr Henderson says that no threat was made by him or ony of the team that thoy would leave the field. After tho match was over, however, somo of our mon stated that had the Wellington captain not relinquished his right to the try, the Auck landers would have left the field. Mr Hen derson added that shortly after tho Wel lington disputed try O'Connor secured a try for Auckland under precisely similar cir cumstances.

ALARMING BOILER EXPLOSION.

Wondorful Escapee.

[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

Wellington, this day. A BOILER used for the purpose of driving a wood-cutting machine at S. Brown's wood and coal yard, Tory-street, exploded at one o'clock this afternoon. Tho concussion was felt over the greater portion of tho town. The shed in which tho boiler was situated was completely wrecked, nnd large sheets of corrugated iron wero carried into neighbouring yards some distance away. A horse standing within five yards of the explosion escaped injury, but a cart was twisted about considerably, one wheel wrenched off, Jnud other damago in flicted, which rendeis it unfit for use. The boiler itself is a mass of broken iron, do ordinary parts being torn as if they were brown paper. Sonic of tho heavy par were lifteel to tho opposite side of the yard, but, fortunately, no person was hurt. A woman was in tho yard picking up wood at tho timo, but beyond a fright received no injury. Tho manager and ono of tho workmen was in a shed adjoining taking dinner when tho accident occurred, and they in no way can account for the ex plosion. A largo number of windows were smashed by the concussion.

To-morrow the argument on demurrer to the defendant's (Commissioner of Customs) plea will be heard by Mr Justice Gillies. The question at the root of all these legal proceedings is, whe ther the Customs Act Consolidation Act applies to a foreign vessel coming into port with loose tobacco on boaid, and that, Mr Ellis, of Newcastle, N.S.W., who owned the Gazelle, wishes to have judicially deter mined. He has a fleet of vessels, and he has resolved henceforthto lot, none of them trade jto New Zealand if the Inches of captain or men in respect of, the Customs can render his own property liable to seizure and confiscation. The Ist inst. was the seventh anniversary of tho erection of Fiji into a Crown Colony. The occasion was not observed with rejoic ing.
