NORTH TARANAKI REP. TEAM. The representative team, as chosen by Mr. P. Robertson (sole selector) to meet Wanganui at Wanganui on December 26 and 27, is as follows:—G. E. Smith, H. Ward, Perham, Gwillim, Bury, Nicoll, R. G. Marsh, A. Bewley, W. Fuller, Bevan and Elliott. 'Many of the Association's best players' were unable to make the trip, so that the team is not as strong as could be wished; still, it is hoped they will put up a good stand against the "Webbtown" players. The team leaves on Monday morning. The rep. teams against Manawatu and Nelson will have to be after the Wanganui fixture, as many of the above players are unable to go further afield. .
