(ll,v ALL BLACK.) . Wairarapa will . play the .second rc> preseri'tatiro match of the season tlfs afternoon, .at Carterton, whew they will try conclusions with tho elect e* Xelson. The latter :::■ reported t.t bo a good stroug team, their forwards especially being a formidable lot. Ma :- ning, the Nelson fivo-ciglitli, captained the southern team which, toured the North Island, and ifj regarded as a i very tine pi aye r, who will mo doubt keep some of his opponents busy. Tlie team, on the wihole, is likely to give Wairarap.n as much as they can do. The homo team will be slightly J altered from the team that played | Bush last Saturday, Hodge (Gladstone) j replacing Desmond, and Tait (Liberal) I taking the place of Darvill at .fullback; The home team will, 110 doubt, give a much better exhibition than they did last week, as the placing of tho will be altered. Mr <E. McKenzie will >n«t as referee. After four weeks' spell the isenior championships, will be continued on, Saturday. Red Star will play Carterton, and if the latter team win, the championship for 1912 is practically decided, as C.vrterton will have too much of . a lead to be overhauled. Gladstone and Libral play at Greytown, when a good game should be witnessed. Masterton :md Greytown are down to play on the old Showgrounds, but it ki doubtful if the latter can get a team to travel.
