TE KUITI v. HUNTLY. The above teams met at Hamilton on Saturday last. Huntly had the best of the play throughout, and eventually won by three goals to one. The TeKuiti men showed the makings of a good team. This is their season. For Huntly the defence was always sound, but, with the exception of Hymls and Ha ves. ; the forwards were lamentably | weak, and will have to improve somewhat to gain possession ol | the Cup.
