Tn view of tho senior game on Cass ■Square on Saturday next against the Stars. Hie members of the local fifteen ■should make all ’possible use of practice available. In their last game against Uniteds, want of condition robbed them of a win, as the team as a whole fired badly in tile closing portion of the play. The team selected is a fairly strong one, if the stamina condition is there and it is for the players themselves to attend to this. Given a fine day the game should prove an excellent one, and is bound te- attract considerable interest. -MAORI REPS, NORTH A'. SOUTH.
