JUNIOR RKRREBNTATIVES. WAIRARAPA 30TWHABEAM-A 0, The Junior representative football team that is to play against Taranaki this month mot and easily defeated Wliareama on the old showgrounds on Saturday by 30 points to nil. The game was a romp over and the Wairarapa boys excelled in every department of the game. The team from the Cosvsk showed very little combination, and both forwards and backs were very weak, only on two occasions getting in their opponents' twenty-live. On Saturday's form the Wairarapa junior representatives should give a very creditable account of themselves against Tara-* naki.
