(From Our Own Correspondents.) | OPI'XAKE. A football match was played here between the "Has-beens" and the present Opuuake seniors on Saturday. A good deal of interest was taken in the match, which proved very interesting, a close struggle resulting in a win for the seniors by 3 points to nil. For the "Hasbeens," W. Lambie, Mason, Forsyth and Eustace showed that they had not lost their old-time skill. Lambie had several splendid shots at goal and was unlucky in not scoring. For the seniors, Martiu, who scored, played a good game among the backs, whilst Smith stood out alone amongst the forwards. Mr A. Cray ably controlled the game. Mr O. T. Yardley, who lias been in business here for some time, has sold out and is leaving for the Waikato shortly. Mr iardley, who has been an active member of the Town Board, resigned from that body at its last meeting owing to his approaching departure. His resignation was accepted with regret, as he has been an active member. Mr M. Finn, who recently left here for the Waikato, is returning, the climate not having agreed with his health.
