INTERCOLONIAL FOOTBALL.

TRIUMPHAL TOUR OF NEW ZEALANDERS.

(from ourspkctat. correspondent.)

Sydney, Juno 12. O.S' Saturday afternoon thoro was a very largo attendance on tho football ground, Moore Park, for tho purpose of witnessing the second and return match between the New, Zealand footballers and a combined team of New South-Welshmen. . Some four thousand spectators assembled to witness the play, and a very strong impression seemed to have gone forth, I know not on what authority, that tho visitors had an excellent chance of getting licked. How or by what, moans such a report got abroad, I cannot for the life of me conceive, but this much is certain, that just before the match began there was some level betting on the teams. This, however, did not last long, for within a few minutes of tho visitors getting into action the betting had shifted to G to 4 upon them, and the odds again altered long before the game had finished to G to 1, and no takers. As I stated in my last, the weather was beauti fully fine and tho air decidedly bracing to tho on-lookers, though no doubt it was plenty warm enough for the pcrformerg, who must havo fully 'appreciated the difference between tho atmospheric circum stances attending this match and that played at Newcastle on tho previous Thurs day. Doubtless one reason why there was somo chango of feeling in the mind ot the public was in consequenco of there being a considerable change in tho personnel of the home team, but the' result proved that though they wero more " showy " in some respects than their brethren of the previous week, they were by no means a match for their oppsnents, and very little better than the team before mentioned, if, indeed, any. Tho close of the game, at all events, showed 21 points for the New Zealanders, and only 2 for the local mon. The following are the names of the players in each team, and their placos in tho field:—Now Zealand : Braddon, full-back ; Ryan, Warbrick, and Helmore, three-quarter backs ; Taiaroa and Roberts, half-backs; W. V. Milton (cap tain), E. Milton, O'Connor, O'Donnell, Roberteon, Wilson, Webb, Allan, and Udy, forwards. New South Wales: H. Baylis, back ; ,T. Cleevo, P, Chapman, D. Belcher, half-backs; H. Fligg, D. S. Chapman, quarter-back.; C. Tango, H. Tange, H. W. Clement, T. Walters, F. Baylis, Oxley, G. Graham, Sweetland, and Bell, forwards. Mr R. Arnold was chosen umphe for tho Now South Wales, and Mr Davey acted in the same capacity for the visitors.

The number of spectators was calculated at between four and fivo thousand, and thoy appeared to enjoy tho match im mensely, judging from the way in which thoy applauded tho principal features of the match, and it must bo confessed that the lion's share of tho applause came to the Now Zealanders, and a great proportion of this to Taiaroa, who seemed to be a prime favourite with tho onlookers.

It was arrangod that the game should be played in two spells of 45 minutes each, and by tho time the second spell was finished tho Sydney mon were pretty woll knocked up. As I before stated, long before the gamo was ovor tho result was a foregone conclusion, a result which shows that although tho players of this colony have beon giving great attention to Rugby foot ball for the last 17 years, when thoy meet a Now Zealand toam they have to haul their colours down after a mauling that should bo sufficiently sovcro for any club of footballers in tho world. A solitary touch down, which, failing to convert to a goal, gives a total of two, docs not look as though they could meet the footballers from tho island colony on anything like equal terms. In fact, in tho matter of football, take the Now Zealand team against any of tho teams in the colony, and they are like tritons among minnows, or like a Hanlan against a Laycock, a Trickott, or a Ross. Of Beach I will say nothing, as the fight between theso two for the rowing champion ship of tho world comes off early in August, and it will then bo seen whether Hanlan is to haul down his colours to the New South Wales oarsmon or not.

The toss was won by the captain of the local team, who elected to kick from the northern end of the ground, the New Zealanders accordingly taking up a position to defend tho southern goal. However, there was not much in the winning of the toss, as the wind was conspicuous by its absence, there not being the slightest hint at oven a breath. Tho ball was kinked off exactly at 5 minutes past three o'clock, and for the next 10 minutes a series of scrimmages took place, although tho New Zealanders tried to make an open thing of it. After somo looto dribbling one of the N.S.W. forwards mado a kick that was no donbt well intended, buttho result was that it landed in the hands of Taiaroa, who marked it, but the try at goal was ineffec tual, and he failed to score. The home team now worked pretty well together, and for a time kept the ball out of danger, but tho New Zealanders wcro too much for them, tho forwards gradually working the ball' nearer to the New South Wales goal, and after a fine ~ display of dribbling on tho part of Robertson it was forced very ne»r the northern citadel. After a slight scrimmage the ball was secured by Milton, who, by ex cellent play, managed to obtain a touch, which tho sturdy Ryan converted into a goal in splendid style, and amid loud cheers. The Welshmen did not seem to like this, but it by no means damped their ardour. On the contrary, they put on a fresh spurt, infused renewed vigour into their play, and with a great rush forced tho leather into the enemy's quarter after a good deal of oscilla tion in the centre of the ground. Tonge, Chapman, and Belcher were especially con spicuous about this time, and did their ut most to divert the impending defeat. Belcher mado a kick which went almost between the posts, hut not quite. His effort, however, was loudly cheored, just as though it had been crowned with success. When the ball was again 6ot going, the. New Zealanders got it well down the field. Scrimmaging now became tho order of the day, and tho defence of the visitors was al ternately broken through, when, in order to save their goal, they were compelled to force down. For the next few minutes the Welshmen continued their offensive tactics, and tried very hard for a goal, but, thanks to Warbrick, who has his Weather-eye open all tho time, they were defeated in their attempt, aud had to fall back discomfited. " Our boys" (that is, the Now Zealanders) now thought they had given their opponents "rope" enough, made a oharge, andohanged the order of tho day, for the-ball was soon again forced to the enemy's line, where a hard fight took place. After a protracted scrimmage in the north-east corner of tho ground, Helmore got hold of the b,all, and, making a grand run, obtained another score for the blues. W. V. Milton was entrusted with the try, and made a kick for goal, but it proved to bo a failure. For the next few minutes it took the •: Welsh men all their time to defend their lines. Some rather looso play took place, and tho ball was gradually worked up to the New Zealand quarters. The home team now got a chance. F'.igg took the ball in hand, and font it south with a rattling good kiok, and the forwards follow ing this well up New South Wales made its first score—and its last—by recording a try. This was received with loud applause, so accustomed had tho spectators been to see the Welshmen fail to score at all. This try for goal—a rather difficult kick—was en trusted to Baylis, but that player failed to score, tho ball going wide, and so missing tho goal which the spectators fondly hoped to soo their couutrymen score Half-time was now called, the game standing at seven points for Now Zealand and two for Now South Walos. But thp latter toam were thankful for small mercies, and made up their minds that during the next spell thoy would do or die, for were not the eyes of all tho colonies upon them,' through the aid of the printing press anct the electric telegraph ? After the' usual interval play was re sumed, both teams doing their level best, but the passing and kicking of the visitors over the bullocking of the Welshmen gained them the advantage. Football blood will tell, and evidently New Zealand blood in an espeoial dogreo. The bdys from Maoriland now went in heart and soul for business, and succeeded in getting the ball twice over the enemies'linein quick suc cession, buttheumpireshavingshortly before decided that on each occasion the ball was "dead," the result scored as nil to the dark blues. A few minutes afterwards Taiaroa scorod a touch, and it was hoped he would follow it up with a goal, but in this he was not successful. A minute or two afterwards O'Donnell also got a touch, which Ryan followed up by a kick that appoar.d to send the ball flying over the bar, so that the supporters of the blues were in hopo3 they had added another goal to their soore, but the umpire docided that it was not so— that the attempt, though undoubtedly a brilliant one, was not followed by that successful issue that was fully in tended by the stalwart kicker, There was now some capital play of a kindj the ball travelling from one end of the ground.to the other with the greatest impartiality, and with a rapidity that did credit to the kicking powers of both teams at this stage

of tho game. The players on both aides tried hard to get a run in, but failed, and for the next ten or twelvo minutes not a touch was recorded. Tho work during this time was decidedly sultry, and the stamina of the tlaxlanders was beginning to tell over that of their opponents, who began to show signs of the severity of the ordeal which tlioy had undergone and the strain to which their muscles had been subjected. The New Zealandors, however, seemed as fresh asdaisios, and again putting on alittle steam, drove their adversaries back to their own lines, where the ball remained for some few minutes till Taiaroa, by a splendid run, got across the streak. He then tried the kick for goal, but it fell short. Tho New South Wales men now got it down towards tho visitors' line, but Allen had it back in no time by a good run. It then fell into O'Donnell's hands, who got it across the lino ' with it. Ryan tried the kick, but without effect, the effort resulting in a "poster." Again did tho New South Wales men essay their best, and worked the ball once more down towards the enemies territory. A hard-fought battle ensued, both sides work ing tooth and nail, or rather hand and foot, to secure a point. The play at this stage was really splendid from the view of the game taken by the onlookers, who cheered most lustily. The issue, however, was not long doubtful, for tho Welshmen were driven back to their own lines, where O'Connor got in and scored a try, which Ryan by a splendid kick speedily converted into a goal, amid the uproarious cheers of the spectators, who—however much they sympathised with the only too self-evident defeat of their own rhen, nevertheless appeared to fully recognise the superiority of their oppo nents in every department of the game. Notwithstanding the efforts of the Welsh men to get towards their visitors' ground, they were entirely unsuccessful, the ball being kept in their own lines, de spite their most strenuous efforts to work it towards the other end. Oxley, Baylis, and Chapman worked like horses, and the sweat literally poured off them to avoid a too crushing defeat, which they must have known in their own heart of hearts was impending, but it waa all of no I avail. Taiaroa, who during the game seemed to be the cynosure of all eyes, although he had n-t been successful in securing a goal, now seeing a good opening on the east side of the goal, succeeded in placing another touch to the credit of his toam, and Ryan was again to the fore with his foot and his scientific knowledge of the art of kicking, for before the Welshmen could fully realise what was taking place, the ball was flying over the bar and through the posts, making a regular "skier" on the occasion. This was the third goal kicked out of the three tries by this redoubtable young Aucklander, and virtually finished the game, which ended to tho complete discomffiture of' the local team a few seconds afterwards, when time was called and the result of the match was recorded as twenty-one points for the New Zealanders and two for the Australians. I The victors were cheered most heartily at tho conclusion of the match. On the part of the winners, Warbrick, Ryan, Taiaroa, Udy, Milton, Robertson, and Helmore, deserve special mention ; while the two Chapmans, Fligg, Belcher, Oxley, and Tange did some good work for the other toam.

It will bo scon from the list of New Zea land players in this match that Lecky was not among them, his Injury on the previous Saturday not yet having so far improved as to justify him in taking part in the return match, the result of which proved, if any further pro-if wore wanting, that the New South Wales men are a long way behind the Now Zealanders in every department of tho game, with the exception, perhaps, of what, is commonly termed " bullocking," which is said to have saved them from even a more ignominious defeat than thoy sus tained,last Saturday ;as a local journal re marks— "The kicking, running, and passing of tho visitors was indeed a treat to witness, and had the Welshmen adopted, tho same line of proceeding, the in terest shown by the onlookers would have increased twofold, Mvioh of the roughness of tho play shown was due to the extra ordinary' number of scrimmages the New South Wales team were instrumental in bringing about. The afternoon of the match was a trifle warm for indulging in severe play, and when half time was called the players had the appearance of having undergone a term in close proximity to a heated furnace. It would be as well to mention that a great many complaints were made concerning the unnecessary length of time taken by the home skipper in setting the ball in play."

On Sunday and Monday the visitors took things quietly, and had a real old good "spell," each man enjoying himself as he liked best.

Early on Tuesday morning "our men" left by rail for Bathurst, to play a. com bination of the western clubs at that place. The weather was fine, and after an un eventful journey, the team arrived safe the same evening. They were met at the station by the Mayor, Dr. W. W. Spencer, and'the leading footballers of the district. A number of vehicles were ready to carry them, and in these they were driven round tho town headed by a band of musio, afterwards winding up with champagne at Chappie's Hotel, where they were warmly welcomed, and a few short speeches of the usual complimentary character indulged in. Shortly afterwards, being pretty well knocked up with their long railway journey, they retired at an early hour to bed. Strange to say. although the weather at this town, had been fine for a considerable time, it was no sooner favoured with a visit of "foreign" capital (fallows), than it commenced a good steady rain, which presaged a rough day for the mor row. With a vivid recollection of their Newcastle match, the New Zealanders went to bed with anything but pleasant anticipations of what was before them. During the early morning, however, the rain ceased, though in the afternoon it was inclined to be showery, and was decidedly cold and inclement. But, notwithstanding this, there was a gathering on the cricket ground numbering about a thousand people, to witness the match which was, in every respects, a capitally-contested one ; in deed, by all accounts, the best contested yet played in New South Wales, The Islanders, after two hours' hard work, scored eleven points, and it is, therefore, evident that the men opposed to them were men of mettle, oven althqugh they scored nothing. Indeed, Vfhen New Zealanders play Welshmen it would generally seem that w'J is the snore of their opponents. The play of the visitors is spoken of in (Hi. quarters as being of a very high - class character, a.nd there are not wanting many foothallers who affirm that .they could hold their own in the Old Country. Be that as it may, they can mora, than bold their own in this, as the various teams against whom they have come in contact willingly certify. The Bathurst team say they never had a livelier time than yesterday. The weather was cold, with a strongiibleak westerly wind, and as a matter of course after the heavy rain of the previous night, the ground was heavy and was very soon cut up a good deal, a circumstance which seemed to, trouble the Bathurst men a good deal, though it lay light enough on the consciences, of the dark blues. Your readers will be glad to learn that Lecky h,ad sufficiently, recovered to take part in this —atoh, the team on this occasion consisting of Messrs Braddon, Ryan, Duinbell, Roberts, Davy, Taiaroa, O'Connor, Helmore^ Lecky, Webb, Udy, Wilson, Carter, and the two Miltons. The Bathurst team was composed of Messrs Ash worth, Brown, Buller, Byers, Kendall, Dixon, Ford, Howard, Jacob, Meagher, Parker, Tucker, Wyburd, Yeamans, and Malachi. The New Zealand Captain having won the toss, placed his men with their backs to the wind. The send-off was given by Howard on the part of the Bathurst men, and a scrimmage followed, in whloh, on the part of thq New Zealanders, Ryan, O'Con nor, and Taiaroa were conspicuous. Taiaroa got a good run but was unopposed, and Helmore got a drop-kiok, but missed. O'Connor then exhibited some fine play, and drove the ball down to the Bathurst quarters in a way that was rather too close to be pleasant to the defenders. These worked their hardest to delay the first scoring, but ware not able to do so tor many minutes. TaiaroaandLepkydidsomepassing that slightly astonished, if not opened the eyes of th.c enemy, and BumbeH being (un like the proverbial bobby) "on the spot," kicked the first goal just twelve minutes afterthestartoi the game. During tbattime the play had been very fast, and the players found it quite warm enough, not withstanding the character of the weather. Wyburd then kicked off, but the ball was soon back to the eastern quarters, and Bathurst had to force down. After the next kiok off scrimmaging of a very ex hilarating character took place. Soon after Helmore. had the chance of a drop-kick, but. failed. to make a goal, as did also the Maori, who almost immediately after wards missed a similar opportunity. Although there was a good deal of lively play.no fnrther soore was made by either side before time was called. '

After: the visual " intermission for refreshments "■. the teams changed .sides, the Bathust. men now having the wind in their favour, and the Islanders having it in their faces. The former tried very hard to

score a goal as a kind of start, but thoir opponents were too much for them, and never gave them the shadow of a chance, keeping tho leather all the time pretty close up to their adversaries' territory. After some very pretty passing on the part of tho .New Zealand men, in which tho Aucklanders played a Erominent part, Wilson got a touch-down ' utit did not result in a_kick over the bar* A few minutes later another touchdown wasobtained,andthiswas cleverly converted into a goal, the ball going just above the bar and prettily and clearly between the posts. No scoring was afterwards made, and when the game was called the New Zealanders stood at eleven and their oppo nents at nothing. As in every match, tho fine free play of the New Zealanders was the theme of general admiration, and they taught their opponents a good lesson in the art of passing, and never resolved to the hugging tactics, which seemed a part and parcel of the play of the Bathurst men. Taken altogether, however, tho game was a capitally contested one, and reflected credit on both sides._ In the evening the visitors were entertained at a banquet at the Victoria Hotel, where speeches of the usual festive kind were indulged in. The New Zealanders, who greatly enjoyed their .trip, immediately afterwards boarded the return train for Sydney, which was reached at an early hour this morning. . ~,

This afternoon the team is engaged to; play a match on the Association Ground, Sydney, against a combined team from the University and Walleroo Clubs, In this team it will be found that the forwards are a very heavy set of players, and a good game is expected. Not content with the two thrashings they: have received, the New South Wales com bination team are, it would seem, again eager for the fray, and a third match has been arranged for Saturday next at the same time and place, and under the same conditions, viz., Rugby rules. The weather in Sydney has been uniformly the same, and to-day nothing better could be desired for football—cool and bracing, with a pleasant sunshine and a cloudless sky. It is safe to predict that " our boys." will pull off the match this afternoon. - On the 16th inst. the team will be en tertained at a farewell dinner, and. on the following day, according to present ar rangements, they will leave on their return journey for their island home.

Tea Merchants. NELSON, iOATE, AND CO.'S BLENDED TEAS VERSUS INDIAN TEAS. FROM a lato paragraph and advertise ment in tho Now Zoaland Herald," we notice a sorlous error in the remarks about the Increase of importa in Indian Tens. We can as- Biiro all interested that the consumption of Indian Ten has decreased to an alarming extent; so much so that Inst suuson tho Melbourne and New Zealand markets wore giuttod. mid good, sound, sweet I eus were selling penco per lb. bulow cost, and this year tho irni>ort_ are many thousands of cases belosv last, making it a very dilllcult matter to buy evon v fow hundred cases. v The simo advertisement alludes to the intro duction of Indians into New Zealand, with rcfiird to which wo beg to draw tho attention of tho public to tho following local that appeared Boino time back tn tho '• Lyttollon limes," showing NELSON, MOATE, & Co. to bo the Largest Im port c ra, mid consequently the Largest Boilers, of Indian Tea in New Zealand. Wo do not wish to mn Indian Tea down, as it is without doubt, when carefully fired, &0., a most useful Tea to those only experienced in the art of R'.endln* Chiimaiul Indian Tens. The Tea by itself will novel- tnko the place of China or Blended Teas, us only nliout 10 % of tho Toa Drinker* are ever able lo drink even the miost Darieclingnud Assam kinds. , _ In Kngland the consumption of Blended Tea hjw Incrense'l to a creator extent than any ori ginal imported tea. " JVic largest importation of Indian Teas to jVeit) Zealand was made last month by Moasra NELSON, MOATE, AND CO. It consisted of over t,-00 packages (chests ami half-eliests) of Pekoes and Pekoe Souchong, from the well known districts of Caehar, Assam, Darjecling, Shylelt, Chittaaonn, and Dovars. We are in formed this is oiie of the many shipments during the year, intended for use m blending with numerous varieties of A'ew Season Cliina Ttas."
