WHAKATANE v TAURANGA
Sir, —I never thought I would live to see the day that Whakatane and Tauranga would fight over the bones (pardon pulp) of poor old Murupara down in the cae:us by the Rangitaiki River. Murupara residents now sing as they wend their' way home from their sly grog dens (again pardon their dream pub) with apologies to the Kellys and Kohens—o the Whakatanes and the Taurangites they are reckless seaside bwoys etc., etc. Up Whakatane and atom and you will win the battle of (for) the boats. Yours etc., ■ v OLD TIMER, Galatea.'; ■
