THE INTERPROVINCIAL FOOTBALL MATCH.

AUCKLAND V. CANTERBURY.

RESULT: THREE POINTS

EACH.

A short and concise descriptive account of the football match between Auckland and Canterbury appeared in our third edition yesterday afternoon, but the importance of the event, and the universal interest manifested in it justify a full report, which we accordingly present to-day. The teams were as follows :—Canterbury.—Fullback : Richards. Threequarters : Allardyce, Francis (captain), Wilson. Halves : Don nelly, Roberts. Forwards: Sutherland, Moir, Beswick, Harris, Homer, Torlesse, Bean, Blanchard, Dow. Auckland :—Full back : Lusk. Threequarters: Whiteside, Madigan. Halves: Conway, A. Braund, Elliott. Wing men: Arneii (captain), Wooller. Forwards: O'Connor, Lindsay, Lecky, Twiname, Keefe, Marshall, Poland. The weights were given in our last issue, and it is unnecessary bo repeat bhem.

THE PLAY.

Francis won the toss, and elected to de fend the northern goal. Accordingly Arneii, at 3 precisely, kicked off, with the wind against him. The return was a low and weak punt, from which Wooller got a mark. Wilson next received bhe ball, and piipted out of bounds on the further touch line. A packed scrum followed the throw in, and the ball being heeled out, A. Braund picked ib up and passed to Elliott, who in turn passed back to Madigan, but the Grafton back had not gone far before he was thrown by Francis close to the touchline. Some scrummaging ensued, and then Donnelly getting the ball punted with good judgment well down the field, but Whiteside anticipated the onward rush of the forwards by a return into touch, -which saved half the distance made by his adver sary's punt. Tho throw in led to a close packed scrum, in which for a moment Can terbury seemed to have tho advantage, but the opinion had hardly time to take shape, when Auckland responded with an answering rally that equalised matters. The ball went oub on the Canterbury side, and Donnelly picking ib up punted down to A. Braund, who was collared ere he could do anything with the leather. Auck land now showed up to advantage, O'Connor and Lindsay came away with the ball, and then Arneii getting it passed with promptitude to Conway, who was speedily collared, and the oval went out of bounds. After the throw in Elliott cleverly took a long pass and started off. Finding he was beset, he passed neatly to Whiteside, and this player, getting close up to the goal line, passed to Madigan, who, although tackled, stuck determinedly to the leather, and, crossing the goal-line with ib, touched down. The umpires, however, pronounced it a hand ball, and for that reason called it back. A. Braund received the ball next from the scrum on Canterbury's side of the 60, and punted down to '25. Canter bury responded with a rush which A, Braund stopped in good style. Another scrum, and then the ball was heeled out to Elliott, who made a capital run, fending so strongly thattwooftheSoutheinersme.asured their length on the turf before he was held. The Canterbury forwards next came away with the oval, but Madigan, picking it up smartly from their feet, made a good run before he was brought down. The Auck landers were how oa Uhefr mettle, and A. Braund, passing cleanly to Whiteside, gave the crack speeler the opportunity he wanted. Successfully fending the opposing backs, ho ran along the nearer touchline and fell over the goal line at the corner flag, amid cheers, scoring first blood for Auckland within ten minutes from the start. Auck land, 1. Canterbury, 0. Arneii took the kick at goal and made a good attempt, but allowed rather too much for windage, and the ball in consequence went a little wide. Francis kicked out and Arneii made an effective return. Francis punted in re sponse, and. Whiteside returned inbo touch near the 50 flag. Auckland forced the packed scrum which fol lowed, and Canterbury dribbled the leather back, when it went into touch. A. Braund obtained a mark from the throw in, and Francis returned well down the field. Wooller starbed on a dribble, bub the opp sing forwards followed suit, whereupon Whiteside kicked into touch right across the ground to the further or Manuka- side. Loose scrummaging went on for some moments, and then Donnelly securing the ball passed rapidly back to Wilson, who, fumbling in his catch, was held by the Auckland forwards before he could profit by the pass. Donnelly .again picked up the ball from the scrum, but it slipped through his fingers, and fiUv*J. ?.t once pounced upon it, bub was colored by Roberts as he was getting away with it. Donnelly, who was now signalising himself by alert play, obtained a mark, and from Arneil's return Roberts also marked. Lindsay went off with a dribble, but the ball had been knocked on, and was therefore called back. A hard kick by Beswick along the ground drove the ball up to Madigan, who stumbled in picking it up and was immediately thrown by the Southern heavy weight just inside Auck land's 25, which was now invaded for the first time. The Canterbury forwards heeled out from the scrum to Donnelly, who passed back sharply to Francis (the dreaded pot shot), but the latter mulled his pot ab goal, and Lusk forced down. Arneii kicked oub and Donnelly made an effective return. Lusk punted high, and Madigan seconded the eflort with a short run. Francis kicked into touch, and from the next scrum again received the ball at bhe hands of his eve.x-abbentive henchman Donnelly, but was held before he could use it. A packed scrum ensued, in which the Auckland forwards, by sheer strength, foi*ced their opponents before them. Roberts dodged round and picked up the ball, only to be at once embraced and held. Auckland broke away with a good dribble, which Francis stopped by picking the leather up and punting oub of bounds. The play was now in neutral territory. A. Braund checked a rush, and Auckland then made a charge, Madigan finishing ib with a short run and Whiteside with a kick along the ground. Allardyco returned the ball, and A. Braund marked. He kicked well, aud Arneii, tailing bo hold Allardyco, the hitter punted right down to Lusk. The forwards followed up well, and Lusk, in stead of reburning promptly, allowed him self to be thrown .with the ball in his own 25. Be3wick,:catoe through the scrum, looking dangerous with the ball at his toe, bub Whiteside picked up smartly, and punted out of bounds. Marshall, Wooller, and Elliott, by a fast piece of dribbling, brought the play back to neutral territory, and an answering rush by Blanchard and Beswick was stopped by A. Braund. Harris and Bean next broke away, but A. Braund's body again covered the oval. Tho Canter bury forwards began to evince a decided penchant for offside play, aud in the scrums they continually erred in tlm respect. Auckland, on the conbrary, was sadly neglecting her backs, who again and again could have been utilised to signal advan tage. Wilson on the other side secured the ball by a long pass, and brought it to Auck land's 25 flag, whence Sutherland worked it still further ahead, bub being oft fcide he was called back. Lindsay i

started to dribble, but Sutherland picked up and passed neatly to Francis, who, from his position in front of the Auck land goal, made a quick and successful pot shot. Canterbury, 3; Auckland, 1. Donnelly received the ball frqm the kick oub, but was very smartly collared by Wooller before he could make his return, A. Braund sbopped a rush, and Roberts punbed along the touch-line. Auckland's rush was neutralised by a first-class punt from Wilson. A. Braund stopped a rush, and then Roberts, gobbing the ball from the scrum, passed dexterously between his leg to Donnelly, who punted along the toubh-line close to Auckland's 25. Lecky came away with a brilliant display of dribbling, bub bhe ball had been handled) and afber making good_ pro gress, he was called back. Twiname and Wooller book up the parable, and also gave a creditable display of dribbling. Roberts made a run and passed to^ Allar dyco, who went down before Whiteside. Wooller got off with a dribble, but Francis picked up and punted into touch in Auck land's 25. After the ball had returned to play Madigan received ,it by a punt from Donnelly, and, stopping too long to dodge a man, lost his chance. The play verged nearer the Auckland goal-line, but Mar shall and Wooller headed a rush back, and Donnelly punted out of bounds. From bhe bhrow-in Donnelly marked, and Wilson took a place kick ab goal, bub the at tempt was wide. Arneii forced down, and then kicked out. Francis's return was mulled by tho alertness of bhe Auckland forwards. A dribble by Beswick was stopped by Elliobb, and A. Braund pick ing up trom bhe scrum made a good long punt into touch. Lindsay broke through the scrum, but was stopped by Roberts, who punted to Madigan, and the latter made a weak return. Keefe next came away, and bhen Wilson by a screw punt sent the leather well down the field. Wooller and O'Connor went off with agood combined rush, and passing to Elliott, tho latter reached Canberbury berritory before he was grassed. A kick forward by Braund allowed Wilson to punt back, and a neat bit of passing between Lindsay, Conway, and Whiteside followed, but Whiteside had no chance to get away. Wooller and Lind say in capital style dribbled the oval into the Canterbury quarters, where Wilson stopped them, and Lindsay got a severe kick on. the shins. The ball receded, and then ensued one of the cleverest in cidents of the match. Elliott, taking a pass at the centre flag, ran down !in first - class style to Canterbury's 25, I and passed to Madigan, who ran on and passed again to Elliott. The latber, bhough tackled by three or four hands, stuck to the ball, and, falling close to the goal-line, rolled over and over quickly as thqught until he touched down beyond the rubicon. Auckland, 2; Canterbury, 3. Lecky took the kick, and only missed the goal by a couple of yards. Half-time was called immediately afterwards.

SECOND SPELL.

Auckland had tho wind in their favour in the second spell, but the advantage thus o-iven them was not a very great one. Allardyco kicked off for Canterbury, and Wooller returned by a long low punt. Wil son kicked into touch at the half-way flag. A scrum was formed from the throw-in, and Auckland broke through it >vith the ball in front of them. It was passed bo White side, and he got away amidst cheers, and made a grand run to tho Canterbury 25 flag, where he was collared by Francis. Some fast open play followod, and the smart combined play of the Canberbury forwards removed tho scene of play to neutral territory. Several of the reds' forwards improved matters for their side still further by a pretty dribble, but Elliott picked up the ball at an opportune moment and made a o-ood run. His course was, however, across the field, and he lost ground rather than o-ained it. He was run into touch at tho Auckland 25 flag. The scram formed from the throw-in was a hard-fought one, and Canterbury got through, their forwards centring well on the ball, which they brought through at their toes. Braund was down upon it in the twinkling of an eye, and in the scrum that followed the Auckland forwards were more successful and carried their opponents before them by sheer strength and determination. Roberts got the ball, and by a judicious punt into touch gained several yards for his side. The Canterbury forwards again played up well, and charged down into the Auckland terri-. Tory, but Whiteside was too smart for them, and relieved his side by a long punt. Arneii, Twiname, and jLindsay foE lowed up, and by a capital display of forward play took the ball right down to the Canterbury 25, where their rush was stopped by Blanchard, who brought the play back to the centre flag by a judicious kick into touch. Another scrum was formed from bhe throw in, and again Auckland got the best of it, but several of the Canterbury men got away on what threatened to be a dangerous dribble. Braund was again too quick for them, and to.their evident morti. fication dropped on the ball. The Canterbury men showed some bad form by their rough treatment of Braund in their desire to com pel him to move from the oval, but he stuck bo ib pluckily bill his own forwards were around him, and bhe crowd cheered him. Canterbury starbed off on another rush,and this time Whiteside cleverly threw himself on the ball just in time to prevent it from passing him. Canterbury had the best of the forward play up till this time, but Auckland now began to pull themselves together. Three successive scrums were broken by the blue-and whites, and in the third, O'Connor, Twi name, and Arneii made a capital charge, and followed it up by a nice dribble which gained some ground. One of the Canter bury three-quarters relieved the prespure on his territory by a high punt, aud Braund marked. Again some of the Canterbury men endeavoured to take advantage of him, and sought to bounce him oub of his mark, and Whiteside and Lecky interfered on his behalf. The umpires allowed the claim, and Braund punted to the centre flag, Richards returning bhe ball. The Canberbury forwards followed up underneabh it, and gained a lot of ground by a combined rush. Sutherland passed very smartly to Roberts, who was collared. Canterbury were on the ball again in a momenb, and Allardyco dribbled beautifully into the Auckland 25, when he was again stopped by Braund, who fell on the ball very pluckily. A moment later, Allardyce brought down upon himself the displeasure off the (spectators by some very barefaced off-side play. The game was kepb in the vicinity of the centre flag for some time, and Donnelly might have as sisted his side had lie chosen to kick from a heel out. He, however, essayed to run,and was promptly collared, Homer got through a scrum, and gained some ground for Can terbury. Auckland now began to show up again in tho forward play, and Marshall, Lindsay, and Wooller were conspicu ous. Lindsay was cheered for a splen did dribble, which was stopped by Richards. Whiteside immediately after wards gob bhe ball, and evading bhe Canter bury backs, got over the goal line and touched down behind the posts. The ball was, however, called back. The play was now in the Canterbury quarters, but a capital rush took it back to the centre flag. Here one of the Canterbury backs mado a pretty drop kick, and Lusk picked up the ball. He had an easy chance to kick, but made the stupid mistake of running, and was collared, and Auckland lost consider able ground by his mistake. Immediately afterwards ha had a free kick at the same spot, and punbed. One of the opposing forwards touched the ball as it rose, and knocked it over the touch -line. The play was now getting uncomfortably closo «o *■-- 'uckland goal, aud desperate i

efforts were made to change the sc,enc ofl warfare into safer ground- H-he Auofer landers were evidently M that Francis might repeat his goal-pqbbiiig exploit, find he was watched very closely, and any attempt ab passing M ft* Pa l. *? f he Canterbury backs was followed by an Auckland-charge. Conway brought the play back near to the Auckland f line by a very good run, but he did not pass till he. was collared, and then to one ot bhe opposing beam. Moil* and Homer availed themselves of this opportunity to effect a good dribble, which took the play within 10 yards of the Auckland goal hoe. Canter-, bury then charged placidly, but an in judicious kick sent the ball over Auck and s goal line, and Arneii securing it, Auckland was forced down. His kick-out was a poor ono. The ball dropped into the arms ot Moir, who was in the centre of the reds forwards, and he marked Jn front of the, Auckland goal, and a distance of about 30 yards from it. Wilson book the kick for a place, but Whiteside and OConnor charged down and stopped the ball when it was rising. Ib was fortunate that they did, as the direction of the kick was good Two or three packed scrums were formed "in"Auckland territory, anel from one of these Roberts passed to Francis, who had a pot shot at Auckland's goal. The spectators were breathless with excitement for a moment, and then gave expression to their feelings of relief in a cheer when they saw the ball passing harmlessly beneath the bar, but between the goal posts. Canter bury had shone brilliantly in the forward game up till this time, but, in the play that followed they were wholly eclipsed by the Aucklanders. Our men were stimulated to renewed efforts by the fact that tho time was rapidly slipping away, and they were still a point behind in the score,and they played with a degree of courage, daßh, and com bination that must have fairly astonished the visitors. At all events, it kept them very busily employed. With the ball in neutral territory, Marshall and Whiteside took it down the field with a splendid rush, and a score seemed certain. The spectators cheered vociferously, and Auckland made two determined charges inbo the Canberbury 25, and on both oc casions Francis saved the visitors. Conway and Madigan then took the ball well into the Canterbury territory by good runs, Madigan especially fpnding* well. The ball went into touch, and from the throw in reached Arneii, who was on the outer wing. He ran a few yards, but was in danger of being collared. If he had passed to Whiteside, who was behind him, the result would have been a certain try, but lie made a pot shot at goal. The kick was a wretched one, tho ball rolling along the ground. Canterbury was forced down again. From the kick out, Lusk'returned with a good punt, and Francis sent the ball back into touch. Auckland again charged brilliantly, and Roberte stopped thejr career, but qur men wero not to be denied, and once more they were oil' with the ball before them. Again they were stopped, and the ball returned. Cojiway then got away with it, and made a .very determined run, but finding himself obstrucbod, he passed to Whiteside, who missed it, when Conway again secured the oval, and with a dashing run carried it across the boundary line, falling on the ball, and securing the third tiy fpr Auckland amidst enthusiastic cheering. The kick was entrusted to Lusk. It was a good abbempt, but a yard or two wide of the mark. The score was now even. Auckland (three tries), 3 points. Can terbury (1 goal), 3 points. Immediately after the ball was kicked off Allardyce got away with it, and made a grand run. He succeeded in eluding all our men with the exception of Lusk, who grasped him by the back of the guernsey, and threw him into touch at the Auckland 25 flag. Auckland now broke through one scrum after another, and shone to great advantage in the open play, at the same making strenuous efforts to score. The Canterbury forwards were overmatched, and no sooner did one of their backs touch the ball than he was charged and borne to the earth. The scene was one of the utmost excitement. Once, the-reds got the ball into Auckland territory, and Wilson made a shqt at goal,but the ball only reached the Auckland full-back. He punted. and tbe ball was returned to the for wards. A acrum was formed, and the Aucklanders opened out to make way for Tim O'Connor, who tore along with a heavy stride with the ball under his arm. He passed the Canterbury forwards and half-backs in fine style, and the spectators cheered him to the echo and were frantic with delight. Wilson made straight for the runner, but Tim put out his ponderous arm and swept the active three-quarter out of his way as if. he had been a child. Again the spectators cheered and threw up their hats. Richards, the full-back, was tho last to tackle him, and O'Connor also fended him, bub in doing so stumbled and fell over his prostrate foe. The others closed over him in a momenb. The play during the few minutes that followed was very des perate, and vacillated between Canterbury and neutral territory. The Aucklanders gave their opponents an exceptionally warm time of it, and if they had had a good pot shot behind the scrum, might have scored more than once. The attempts of the Aucklanders to increase the score further were, howeyer, fritfbless, am} the game resulted in a draw as stated. Had the Auckland men adhered to the system of scoring that has heretofore prevailed here, they would have won the match by three points. The ground, was cleared within a few minutes afber the play ceased, and the majority of those present walked into town, Both teams were loudly cheered along tho route of their drive into town.

The Banquet.

In the evening both teams were enter tained at dinner at Mr Gallaghpt-'s. Imperial Hotel, which was served in Mr Gallagher's well-known style. Facing the entrance to the dining-room was a large mirror, on which was traced in bold characters " Wel come Canterbury," being flanked by the banners of the opposing teams, while round the room hung the banners of the various Auckland clubs. The tables were beauti fully decorated with flowers and pot plants. In addition to tho two teams a large num ber of supporters of football and other manly sports sat down to dinner. His Worship tho Mayor (Mr A. E. Devore) pre sided, supported by the rival captains, Messrs Francis and Arneii, Mr R. Garrett occupying the vice-.chair. After discuss ing the good things provided by the host, the Chairman proposed the toast of " The Queen," which was drunk with enthusiasm, the company singing the National Anthem ; the next toast proposed was " The Canter bury Team," which was responded to by Mr Francis, who expressed the pleasure they had in meeting Auckland at the noble game, and thought both teams might learn a few '--wrinkle*'' from each others play that afternoon. The Chairman then proposed the toast of the "Auckland Team," which was briefly responded tp by Mr J. Arneii, who expressed a hope that an Auckland tew would go South next season, and meet their opponents on their own ground. The Vi .e-Chaiiman then proposed the toast of " Umpires and Referees," referring to the arduous and thankless duties attached to those posi tions. Messrs Chapman and Henderson responded. The. toast of "Football" was drunk with enthusiasm, and responded to by Mr Beawiok, of the Canterbury team, in a very appropriate speech. The "ladies" was Eroposed by Mr Lindsay and responded to yMr Wilson. The "Press" was proposed by MrCrowe.and responded bqby representa tives present. The Chairman then pro-' posed " The _N©w 3e<*da»)dTe««n," and gave a short sketch of the victorious tour in Now South Wales, and also. referring in feeling terms to the recent death of the Cap

tain (Mr W. V. Milton) of that team, the-toast being drunk in silence. W*• Henderson proposed the boast of the Chan man in an appropriate speech. Mr e™-*e responded, and gave the toast of " The Host," which was drunk with great hearti ness. Mr M. Gallagher responded in a few words. During the evening, a number of songs were given by Messrs Francis, Torlesse, Roberts, Poran, Madigan, Chap man, Allardyce, and Morris, all of which were rendered in first-class style, which added greatly to the pleasure of a most en joyable evening. The Company broke up at about 11 o'clock.
