■ »■ ' WEDNESDAY ASSOCIATION, Pakeha 3 Karori 3 Hui Mai 1 Jk-reawa 0 Both the above games were played at Karori, tho ground being on the' heavy tide. Tho match Pakeha v. Kara-i did. not come up to expectations, the pluy being patchy and without combination. In the first half of-llic game each side scored a goal, and in each case through the poor ■ defence of the defending side. In tho second spell Karori did most of tho attacking, but poor shooting,was.the order of the day. Pakeha were' fortunate to .effect u draw, scoring as they.,did just before the call of lime. ■ ■ ■ ■ The match Hui Mai v. Hcreawa proved much better to watch, both sides showing good combination and splendid passing. Hui Mai,, however, lost several chances by bad shooting. The goalkeepliig of Star (Hui Mai) was a feature of the match, and it was due to his fine defence that Hcreawa did not store. PAKEHA-KARORI. Prom the "bully oft" Pakeha put Karori on the .defene?, but eventuallv Baker, bj a fine long drive, shifted the play over the i'A Wi ! ) ' ,} inc - J?-' Spiers and E. Lower snilted the venue into Pakeha's circle but Smith saved in fine style. Karori kept up the attack, and Pony presently saved by giving u corner. Lyons, Hadficld, and Clapshaw were responsible for returning play into Karon's quarters, but oll'sido play gave Kavori-o free-hit, and the game was sent back over Pakeha's 25 ■ yards line. J. here K. Lower, hitting hard and following up fast, got possession .of tho ball as it rebounded off tho goal-pact and scored for Karori. When play re! I -started Karori again had the best of matter.,-, but Wylie, Lyons, M ,d Gracie, bv lino play, got into Karori's circle. Gavford saved temporarily by a hard drivle. but immediately afterwards broke avav an 1 passed to Clapshaw. in the .circle, the latter scoring. * In the second spell; Pakeha'started off but tie fine defence - of Baker ami Gayford saved, and-pj av ■ f o r n tin* was , n m d-field. - W^Vyliotopped a rush of Karor forwards, and. to Lyons, the latter scored. Pakeha ™ W?"' ii ] i a T? ri fon ™>* now- 'kept flilV 10 r )al1, "»d'carried'play close to Pakeha s line, where F. Spiers, acceptnet. Shortly afterwards Karori had another chance, tho -ball just missing the net. On resuming, Karori once more had .1 akoha on the defensivo, and. A, .Lower «' «<•« another goal for the hill • team. With five minutes to go, Pakclin mado the game fast, and, getting into'Karori's circle, the latter had to give a corner to save. From the corner-hit, Karori secured the ball outsido the circle, but the Pakeha forwards worked it inside again, and Gracie found the net. This was just before tho call of time. For Karori tho prominent men were Baker, Gavfovd, Jirooker, and F. Spiers, while for Pakeha U ylie, Smith, Hadfic-ld, Lvons, and Graci< were the best. .......

Messrs. Cusack and Manning were the referees. HUI MAI-HEKEAWA.. From the "bully off" Hui Mai carried the play up-field, but (he defence'' of Hereawa's backs checked the rush.
