ATHLETIC SPORTS.

-.'•■■ RUGBY ■WELLINGTON V. SOUTHLAND. Although interest in-the; representative match between Southland and Wellington at Athletic Park this afternoon is not so keen as is usual when these two teams meet, there is over.y probability of a gwd attendance of enthusiasts. The visiting team is considered one of the strongest sent on tour by the southern union for some years, and since arrival in Wellington has been strengthened by tho inclusion 'ofM'Neecc and Lindsay, who returned from Australia, on Thursday. . In the local team some-well-known players will bo missing, although: taken right through the team should give a, good account of itself. Several young players are being given an opportunity. Roberts, the New Zealaudihalf, is not likely to play and his place, will be taken by Pegden, a recent "find" from Oriental juniors, a young player who promises to develop' info a champion. Mr. W.' J. Meredith has been selected as referee. : .Two.early matches .will be played. Solwyn and Berhamporo meet for -the final of-the fourtlwlass chain-, pionship', and a fifth-class representative game between suburban and City teams. A notice .asking local playeis to meet at .Hall's Turkish Rathe appears in our advertising columns. '
