Then Wellington take ftw'ay, only, lioivever. to have tho opposing hacks return tho ball. Morpeth •eventually «ffoet«l a fan scare, with the result that Wellington had a.net.her essay, in which the left-wing was prominent, but the redoubtable M'Eldmv-' ney relieved for United, The latter now hung with persistency round T\>l- -- goal, and, at' length Boyd scored. The game continued evenly till, half-time.

Tho game thus ended: United, 3; Wellington, nil. Mr. C. M'Eonzie was referee. KARQRI—INSBfI-AK-OE. _.The first- portion of the game between Karori mid Insurance was fast, even, and irsteresting.
