FOOTBALL.

The Auckland Rugby Union are expecting an early visit from a Northern Wairoa football team. Both, the Aratapu and Kopuru Clubs have started practice and the football season will soon be in full swing. We hear that the Maropiu Club held a a meeting last Saturday but our correspon - dent’s account is not yet to hand. The diggers in the Redhill and Tatarariki districts are talking of raising a team this season. The Quarter-Mile race open to members of the Aratapu F. Club was run on Saturday afternoon and R. Jamieson was the winner. A good deal of dissatisfaction has been expressed because of pose entries being allowed after the handicaps were declared. The Kopuru F.
