In the first half there was no score, although Midhlrst were dangerous on several occasions. On changing over, Tukapa set up an attack and, displaying a better knowledge, ran up six points, H. Oliver scoring a try add also kicking a penalty goal. The visitors are a promising fifteen, and before the season closes should put up a big fight for the honors. Tukapa are now showing the necessary combination that secures success, but the gale yesterday naturally prevented much back play. Mr. Humphries controlled the game.

The whistle sounded with the local men on the attack. Tries were secured by'Sheaban (2) and S. Julian. Mr. W. Roch was In charge of the whistle. STAR, 6;- TUKAPA, 4.
