The Otaki Club had held the feathers for some considerable time, and last year two attempts by Foxton rinks to wrest them from the ladders were unsuccessful, and Otaki also successfully defended against; a Levin team this season. Yesterday's game was a very close one, and an extra head had to be played to decide it. Foxton scored one on this head, thus winning by 1!) points to IS. -The game was close throughout, the biggest margin between the teams being after the eighteenth head, when Foxton had a lead of four, 18 —14. Each side scored on 11 heads.
