# 1862–63 Barnes F.C. season

This was the first season of Barnes FC following its foundation in 1862. Since a standard set of laws of football did not yet exist (the Football Association would not be founded until 1863), Barnes drew up its own rules to govern play, choosing to prohibit carrying the ball. Though its rules stated that "the season shall commence on the first Saturday in October", Barnes FC's first game (against neighbouring Richmond FC) is not recorded until the end of November. In December, Barnes played Blackheath FC, a club which played a rugby-style game that allowed running with the ball and "hacking" (kicking opponents in the shins). The resulting clash of styles forced "mutual concessions" to be made as to the rules for this game. It was nevertheless a lively match, featuring "dangerous mélées" in which club captain Ebenezer Morley narrowly escaped being "garrotted". In the first half of 1863, Barnes played against N.N. Club and Forest FC (later renamed Wanderers FC), two teams who, like Barnes, preferred a dribbling game; both would join Barnes in becoming founder members of the Football Association later that year.
# 2023 Tartan Pro Tour

The 2023 Tartan Pro Tour, titled as the 2023 Farmfoods Tartan Pro Tour for sponsorships reasons, was the fourth season of the Tartan Pro Tour, a third-tier tour recognised by the European Tour.

## Challenge Tour feeder status

In December 2022, it was announced that the Tartan Pro Tour and the Clutch Pro Tour would become official feeder tours to the Challenge Tour in place of the now-defunct PGA EuroPro Tour. The Tartan Pro Tour would offer Challenge Tour status to the leading player on the Order of Merit.

# Littorella

Littorella is a genus of two to three species of aquatic plants. Many plants live their entire lives submersed, and reproduce by stolons, but some are only underwater for part of the year, and flower when they are not underwater.

## Classification

Molecular data show Littorella to be sister to the rest of the genus Plantago. Thus, cladistics would allow it to be considered either as a separate genus or as part of Plantago. Some researchers, particularly Rahn in the 1990s, have considered Littorella to be located within Plantago, but this does not seem to be required given the molecular data and a closer look at morphology.

## Species

* Littorella uniflora. Found in Europe from Iceland to the Black Sea.
* Littorella americana from northern North America.
* Littorella australis from patagonia, in southern Chile and Argentina, and the Falkland Islands
Some authors have treated L. uniflora and L. americana to be one species, but molecular data show L. americana to be more closely related to L. australis than it is to L. uniflora, which argues for recognizing three species. Other considerations, such as the wider range and more frequent flowering of L. uniflora, also argue for separate species. It seems likely that the genus originated in Europe and first spread to North America, and from there to South America, with both events happening in the Pleistocene or later.

## Distribution

The European species is found in a wide range of habitats, from arctic to Mediterranean. The North and South American species are found in a more limited range of temperate climates.
# Dave Windass

Dave Windass, born in west Hull in 1965, is an English playwright.
Windass is a former theatre critic for The Stage and a journalist for the Hull Daily Mail.

He became a full-time playwright in 2007, and received a grant from Arts Council England to write a play about J. Arthur Rank. He used his experience of working at the Hull Daily Mail to tell the story of the community and people around the RNLI station at Spurn Point on the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in the play On A Shout, which was premiered at Hull Truck Theatre in January 2008.

# 1912 New Zealand Liberal Party leadership election

The New Zealand Liberal Party leadership election 1912 was held on 22 March to choose the next leader of the New Zealand Liberal Party. The election was won by Thomas Mackenzie, who succeeded Joseph Ward.

## Background

In February 1912 the Liberal Government led by Joseph Ward was saved from defeat in a confidence only by the casting vote of the speaker. Ward made good on an earlier promise and resigned the premiership.

## Candidates
### Thomas Mackenzie

Mackenzie was seen by many as a strong contender for the leadership by many observers of the jockeying for position following Ward's resignation. However, many also saw Mackenzie as too new a recruit to the party to lead it.

### George Laurenson

Laurenson had been an MP since 1899 and represented the urban and more left-leaning Liberals. He was the member from Lyttelton. His candidacy took many by surprise, as talk of him as leader had been dismissed as mere gossip by the press.

### Others

Many expected John Millar to seek the leadship, thinking him assured the votes of members from urban electorates. However, realising that he did not have backing from the labour sympathisers in caucus (who supported Laurenson) he declined to run. Many others thought he lacked the charisma needed to reverse the party's fortunes. The only other name mentioned in the press as a possible successor to Ward was that of Josiah Hanan, MP for Invercargill.

## Result

After a 10-hour caucus meeting on 22 March, presided over by Ward, Mackenzie won a simple ballot by the caucus 22 votes to 9.
| Name | Votes | Percentage |
| Thomas Mackenzie | 22 | 70.9% |
| George Laurenson | 9 | 29.1% |

## Aftermath

After the vote, Laurenson became deputy and the two quickly put together a new cabinet. Mackenzie was to serve as Prime Minister from 28 March to 10 July 1912 when he resigned, after his party was defeated when it met the reassembled Parliament, giving way to the first Government of William Massey ending the Liberal's 22 year government.
