FOOTBALL COMMENTS.
Two important Association matches call for attention this week. The match in aid of the Transvaal Fund last Saturday and the Club's Shield Tie on Thursday,
In one respect the Transvaal Match was rather a disappointment, vic, the number of the spectators
It was hoped there would be a large attendance of soldiers and sailors but, although the_soldiers turned up in force we anticed very few sailors about the ground. On making enquiries we were given to understand this was largely due to musketry courses and that no general leave had been given.
It is rather a pity that the Naval Authorities could not have arranged to give the inen leave, for 500 or 600 sailors would have largely aug mented the fund and would certainly have gnlivened the proceedings. As it was the proceeds realized a Bule over $450, as the matshed and fencing cost about $103 the net result to the Fund may be estimated at $300 while, if the proceeds of next Saturday's match be added, the total amount which will be event- nally handed over to Sir T. Jackson should be well over $500. This will be a good round sum and we are sure all footballers will be glad to feel that they have, directly or indirectly, had a share in relieving the distress of our wounded or their families.
largely increased their score. At the same time the Gunners were never put of it and on several occasions had very hard lines. They fully deserved to win on the day's play but we have little doubt the Club would beat them in
the match was not drawn, for the Gunners, a majority of instances. It was rather a pity perhaps rather naturally, feel they were rather hardly treated and their play deserved they should have another opportunity of keeping in the competition."

The Army and Navy, on the other hand, were mostly strangers to one another's play and the forwards never seemed to get together at all, although individually playing well.

Hancock and Danby played a capital game together and were the best wing on the field. Smillie seemed a little out of place forward, while Ross and Noble played very well on the whole, though at times apt to get a little careless and wild.
The Army and Navy defence was undoubted-

Dentery was ot quite so bad but was too much inclined to follow Dawson's example. Both of them are very good footballers and capable of playing as well as anvlody, it is a pity they spoilt their own play and their side's chances of success for the sake of a few adiniring remarks from friends on the line. There is no doubt on the whole that the match was a
