The return match between the representatives of (he Maniapoto and King Country Unions is to be played at Te Kuiti. on Saturday next. The ground, which has been kindly lent to the Maniapoto Union by Mr U. Somcrville, is in good order, and given fine weather, a fast and exciting game is expected. When the same teams met at Taumarunui, on July 20th, victory rested with the King" Country representatives after a hotly contested game.

The following will represent the Maniapoto Union : Full-back, Conned; three-quarters, Coburn, Wilkinson, Taylor; fixe-eights, .Held and Moir; half-back, Vause ; wing- forward, Cleaver; forwards, Elliott, Rako, Keeley, Old. Searancke, Holes, Rora. Emergencies: Munro, Pavilt. There is some doubt as to the ability of several of the players chosen for Saturday's match to get away, thee re fore all the reserves arc requested to be in attendance. Mr N. B. Lusk has been appointed referee for the match.
