Banton, A. C. Holms (eapt.) and Kempton; five-eighth, Tait; half, Turnbull; wings, Monro and H. Tucker; forwards, W. Mason, S. Smith, D. Tidswcll, Huwlett, Fuge, Nix and Chisholm. The season was opened last Saturday, when a scratch match was played, at Carterton, between Carterton and Red Star. The game was an interesting one, and keenly contested. Carterton showed some good play in the back division. C. Groube, McKillop, Thompson, Crawley, and J/adham are a set of backs who 'Should give a good account of themselves in Cup matches. The forwards are a good lot, and some line individual play was shown in the matxh. The Red Stars were not fully represented, Aclasis, McLachhvn, 'Clarke, W. Fulton, and Spring bei'ig absent. Wrigley was well Sin-ported during the match, and played his best. Darvill, too, did soma particularly good work, while Ladner, at centre, when he strikes form, promises to shape well. Dorset: improves with each game, and the Stars have in him a back who is going to be of considerable use to them. The forwards did good work, the most prominent perhaps being Wiokens, Norman, Riley, Langley, an<i Scorrar. A. Cadwallader, the Carterton forward, does not intend to play this se;i -on. Gladstone intends to enter a team for the Wairarapa Rugby Union Senior Championship this season. The combination will be composed mostly of Maoris, and will include half a dozen players from Tc Aute College, and others from the Tuhirangi Club, which died a natural death after winning the junior championship last year. It is stated that A. Booth and Jackson will be among the players, and that the .team will be a fairly strong one. An effort is being ntade to form a ...'Saturday Club in Featherston.
