Then Karori's forwards, getlip" the ball, passed to (heir left-wing, wlio drove, it across lo t'. Spiers (inside-right), who found the net. The, spoil ended with Pakeha attacking. The second spell saw K'aroi-i playing with more dash, but; they . lost iiinuv chnnces by playing too hard' when in their opponents' twenty-five. l''rnm a free-hit, Karori lost a very fair chance, (o score, through one of their men gelling off-.side. Pakeha then held their own for a time, and some fine work was put; in by Bale, Lyons, nml Perry, hut the Knrofi forwards, who wvro playing well, gave Colo (iusiile-left) a chance fo score, which lie accepted, and, a few minutes afterwards, repeated the performance. When the game, restarted. Karori again look charge, and Lower shot a goal, but it was not allowed. I'lay for the. reuuu'mler of thu spell was of an even nature. Karori thus von by 3 goals to 1. For tho winner', linker, Cooper, llrndorson (Iwcks), Lower, Cole, ami i'. Spiers (forwards) were the best players, ivhilo for I'nkeha, Dale, Lynn, ami l'en-y (backs), Ciapshtiw, .Mollinsoii, mid ]lari-up (forwards) were much in evidence. Jlr. J. C. Cusitck was tlio Teferec. nui MAI-HERE.VWA. The first spell of this inaivh opened with Hereawa bearing down-field, but tho fine defence of 31'ICeever and Sherwooil (full-backs) presently sent tho play to the other end, and a score was only saved by tlie (iuo . play of Cleinentson. li ui Jfai lost a chance of scoring by the forwards driving the ball over the liiso. From a scramble in inidiield, Caterer (ITcreawa) got away with the ball, and scored an easy goal. Hay for some tinso thereafter was very even, but eventually the Hereawa forwards started a passing rush, which ended in Caterer again finding the nr-t. Shortly afterwards the same player had another chance. He took the .ball right into the circle,'but missed the net by a few inches. In. the second half Jlui Jlai had much the better of the ploy, time after Hme reaching the circle only to bo driven back by the fine defence of Jiercawa's backs. From' a long drive from Sherwood, Skill got the ball, and getting clean away scored tho first goal for Hiti Mai. The latter were now holding iheir own and the forwards, playing with more combination, soon had another chance, which was accepted by Dalgleish. The game ended willi Hui Mfli attacking, the general result- being a draw, each side scoring two goals. lor Hui Mai M'Koeyer, Stevens, Cameron (backs), Hoy, Skill, and Bay were the chief players, while Ncedham. Henderson, Clemciilsoii (backs). Caterer, Cragg, and lirowu did good work for Hereaiva. Mr. JCmpson was referee. SMOKE COJCCEHT.
