Waies *1 2 9 Wallabies 0 2 6 Penalty -oal.i [By FORWARD.111 Following in the wake of the New Zea- landers and South Africans the representa- ged in the tlr-t inter tives of Australia eng-a?ed in th? nrst inter- natio'na.1 contest with Wales on the Cardiff Arms Park this afternoon. Su<3h is the fa.m.e of Wetah football aJl the w&rld over that it is not necessary to state that the occasion -wa.s attended by all that interest and e-nthusiasm which serve to make the ? match one of historic importance. a.nd one whiah will ran-li with preceding contests of ) a similar oharacter as a battle royal in the best sense of the term. There were early indications that the crowd would not fall far short of a record on.e. not- withstanding the abnormally high level of public interest attained on the memorable occasion of the All Blacks' visit tthree years 1 ag'o. As era,Iy M 12.30, when the gates were opened, there was a big rush for seats, a<nd within the space of half an hour some thou.sands of people had ta'ken up their petitions on the shilling stand Most of th&m were surprj'-ed to And .the ground having' made such a satis- factory recovery und'er t<he innuence of the drying wind and the. brig'nt sunshine of the morning, and except tha.t it was soft in front of tthe grandstand, its condtion in otheT parts were such t<hat neither team could Rnd fault with it Wattabies' Fitness Throughout the morndng sojne thousands of people from all parts of South Wa'les and from sevcTal of the English Rug-by centres, and a-lso from a,Il points of the compass, poured into Cardiff, and the majority of them ma,de a point of visiting the Queen's Hotel, the headquarters of the two tea-ma. with the object of seeing wha.t mamner of then we're thoy who had been chosen to represonft the two far-dista.nt eoun'tries a few hours later m the day. None of them could help bein.? impressed by the fine physique and th.o palpable ntness of the WaJla.bic&, and it needed no great power of oh&erva-tion to notice in the tight-dr'lwn faces a.n expres- sion of determination and keenmess. It is but the dark truth to say tha,t ever in the a.nma.ls of Auetra-Iia.n foot, ball has a repreaen'tative mde felt the weight of responsibility more than the Wa<I- labies did ono the occasion, and it is equally true to say that the determination to be equal to that responsibility was never a. greater reality in Colonial football. Our ktna. men realised that the result of this match would have a far-rea<*hinc influence upon the future history of the Rugby ga-me in the la,nd of the Southern Cross, and this trans- I parent spirit of sincerity may be properly regarded as a striking proof of the intensity I of the patriotic fervour which animates the strong sons of our dominions beyond the seas. Whatever fanit ma.y have been found with their 'methods in previous ma.tobes is no gdnsaying th-o fuct that one's admire tion of the Wa-Ilabies grows stronger with the improved acquaintance of them aa men. They are absolutely free from that tuidesi- rable characteristic, which is known a< swank." A Distinguished Visitor Half-an-hoUT before the ki-ok-oS' the stands all round the g'1'ound appea.red to be quite fuil, and yet people poure-d in inmieeantly. and there was a very distinct prospect of the attendance reoo-rd dime<nsi0D5. pial seats had boon re&e.rved for the mem- bers of the W øIsh Umio'n a.D)d a.lso the mem- bers of the Australian party. and one of the most promiujent and picturesque figures in tho group wae Mr. PaHesCir, the Agon't- (ten<*ra<l for New ZeaJa,!id, wh'oae &rst a<Kiuainta.n<M with Curd.in' wat. made when the "FerD'Ian<Iers" paid their \isit in 1905.
