WEST END v. KA.ITI CITY. When the teams lined up it svas noticed that West End had a much heavier forward division than their opponents, bu* the bine and blacks (Haiti City) were exceptionally strong behind the pack, and if was anticipated they would make the gams fast and open, and keep the ball as mnch as possiblo amongst their backs. However, owing to the slippery state of the field of play and the wet ball neither side was able to handle the sphere with accuracy, and the game was confined to the forwards. West End were in the pink of condition, and according to the eternal fitness of things, the resnlt (24 to 6) was just what might be expected when a well trained fifteen meet an untrained one. As on the preceding Saturday the Weat End forwards won the game, bnt last Saturday. the rear division rendered valuable assistance, and showed better combination. For West End Skeet at wing forward played a splendid game, scoring three tries. Wepiha, Brooking, and Roderick also ohtained tries for the side, the latter try being an exceptionally olever one. Three of the tries were converted. For KaitiCity Pnflett soored a try after some splendid passing amongst the backs, and Erekana kicked a goal from a penalty. On a fast ground and with a dry ball the KaitiOity team would give a much bettor account of themselves, but their lack of training was very apparent on Saturday. ! Pnflett at wing three-quarter showed goed form, and would have been of greater service to his side at five eighths.
