Co-operation With Railways.

One result of the appeal of Mr. H. H. Sterling, Chairman of the Government Railways Board, for public support of the railways has been seen in the King Country recently, says the Auckland Star's correspondent at Te Kuiti. The King Country representative Rugby team (selected from an area of 10,000 square miles) was transported by rail to Te Aroha to play a representative team from Thames Valley. By the co-operation of the Railways Department the King Country team left and returned home the same day. On another occasion the Ongarue team travelled to Manunui ground, which lacks a dressing shed. Again the railway officials co-operated by placing a car on the siding at Manunui for use as a dressing shed. King Country footballers warmly appreciate the railway's co-operation during these difficult times.
