PAKEHAS DEFEAT MAORIS.
DEWAR FOOTBALL TROPHY. The Maori and Pakeha Reps, met on tbc Levin,Domain on Wednesday, to dispute the right to hold the Denar Imperial Trophy, the Pakehas winning by 13 points to 11, two converted tries and a goal from a penally to one ooverled try, a try, and n penally goal. The ground was in excellent condition. The game Ft self, although not brilliant, was at all limes fast and exciting. The Reds, weak behind the .scrum, owe their victory chiefly to a fine hard working, pack of forwards, whose play in the tight, was more than a match for their opponents, while in the lose rushes, they quite held their own. On paper, the Maori backs appeared to have a big advantage over their opponents, put in the actual play, they were very disappointing. Throwing the ball carlessly around in all directions, they trusted to luck more than anything else in their movements, which usually ended in a helpless scramble on the side-lines.
