NOTES.

PRACTICE MATCHES. The practice games on Saturday last between the three teams from the Red Star and Masterton Clubs resulted in wins for the Star teams in each grade. In the senior game the .points were 9 to nil. F. Ball and Morris scored tries, and K. Welch kicked a penalty goal. In the junior game some good passing was witnessed among the Star hacks, in this respect it being a better game to watch than the senior. The points were 25 to nil. In the third-class game the points were 'll to 3 in favour of the Stars.

INSIDE TRAINING

The supporters of the Red Star Club 'have secured the Drill Hall for Thursday nights, and generously placed at the ■disposal of the Club for gyrcnastics and scrum practice. The mem'bers of the three teams of this Ohio will now have no excuse for not getting themselves into form, and it behoves them, by rolling up regularly, to justify their supporters' generosity.
