Association, which was to have been p ; ayed at Kopuarahi on Saturday last, had to be postponed as the breakdown on the Kopu f&rry prevented the Wanderers’ eleven from getting to Kopuarahi. After waiting a considerable time, scratch teams were picked and a practice match played. KOPUARAHI. match between the Kerepeehi and the Turua tennis clubs played at Turua on Saturday last, resulting in a win for Turua by the small margin of three games. The two clubs were very evenly matched, and the weaknesses shown on the previous Saturday were . again apparent. A promising feature was the good form shown by the younge; members of both clubs. Owing to a breakdown on the launch, the Kopu-Orongo ferry was unable tp run on Saturday atfernbon. Mr W.
