The contest will be between To Horo, who hold a fine record, and Otaki, a greatly improved team. The former, generally, put a deal of “ginger” into tlicir play, and tlieir dash will stand them in good stead. On the other hand, Otaki lias some fleet-footed players, who are also hard hitters, and provided the best is made of openings in the circle should bo seen to advantage. The match is timed to start at 2.30, and it is hoped all players will be punctual.
