PBK PBES3 ASSOCIATION. "WrLLtsoTOH, August 21. The interprovincial match between Hawke's Bay and Wellington was played on tbe AtMetic Pa»k this afternoon, and resulted in a "in for Wellington by 12 points (four tries) to 3 points (one try). The visitors have a fine team of forward', who more than held their own with the Wellington pack; but their backs were weak, and to this weakness the home men owed their victory. Slattery, Wood, Adams and Mclntyre roared for Wellington, and Hume for Hawke's Bay. Nore of the tries were converted. The Wellington men played very sluggishly, and appeared to be stale after their exertions against tbe New South Welshmen last Saturday. HOBTH V. SOUTH MATCH.
