In tho match Petone-Pakeha. A tho play was very oven, and tho game resulted in a draw, thanks chiefly to Beswick <Petono) whose goal-keeping was first class. In general Artillery had all the better of matter.-; with Hui Mai. The latter had a little tho better of the first spell, but, in tho second half Artillery played with much better combination and had- things pretty much as thoy pleased. At ono stago they .scored three goals in as many minutes. The mntoh ended in- favour of Artillery by four goals to 1. Although Hereawa defeated Pakeha B by 5 goals to nil, tho losers put up a great fight and, had .they possessed any strength in attack within the circle, the margin would have been much smaller. In tho open I'nkeha were quite as good ns their opponents, but in the circles tho older team had all tho better of the play. All threo games wero played at Karori. PETONE & PAKEHA A. Pakeha had the better of the opening and a few minutes after the start Sheeran scored.

M'Ewan, llowp, and Cavill scoring in that order. In the second spell play travelled from end to end every few' minutes. Just before time M'Killop, for Pakeha, evened up the score and the gamo ended in a draw. Mr. Manning was referee.
