FOOTBALL.

To-morrow's contest between Holebrook and City forms one of the most important events of the present season, inasmuch as its result will give a very fair indication ' as to how the premiership will go, and a win or draw for City will finally settle the question in their favour. Should Holebrook prove victorious the scores will then be equal, and another match will have necessarily to be played to decide the matter. The unusual amount of attention that has been paid by the players to training, etc., during the past week is evidenced by their determination to play a bold game, and with the surroundings favourable, the contest bids fair to excel anything shown for the last, three seasons. Pa The interest in the match is also very keen, and an attendance far beyond the usual average is anticipated. The committee, in view of the importance of the conflict, have made every preparation for intending patrons, and trains will run to the ground at 2.10 and 2.40, returning at 4 6 and 4.30. Carriages will be specially reserved for ladies. The umpire question has been arranged by the the appointment of Mr. J. Chapman. The following are the teams :City : Ryan (capt ), Dickens, McGn'r- .
