FOOTBALL.

Il&storton v- To Oro OroTho Senior Cup. match. between the two above clubs was played on tbe Worksop road ground on Saturday last, and resulted, as wasgenerally! expected, in a walk-over for Masterton. The ground was in good condition, but rather a heavy wind was blowing. The winning team, captained by Hirschborg, played a Sue game throughout, and succeeded in scouring five tries, two in the . first spell, aad - three in the second,-ono only of which was converted, The scorers' were C. and H, Perry, Day, - Holmwood and Thompson, the latter making ibe run of the day. For the Natives,who were skippered by Kangi, Kara, Simeon, Alick, and " dummy" i played well, and frequently repulsed i their opponents. . The game was played in a friendly spirit throughout, i the Natives, taking their beating in ! good style. Messrs Molvor and ■ Cuokoo umpired for Maatertou and Te Ore Ore respectively, and Mr J, ; Williams acted as referee. 1 Oartortoa y Stars, .. . . Owing to unfortunate circumstanoes only .eight of the first teani of the Stars could be got together to go to ' Carterton on Saturday,! to play. : }he 1 Rivals, and the second fifteen having > got an early start, they failed to get fifteen players together, Tho senior , men, however, went on to Carterton with the intention of forfeiting the match and going- on to Greytown to cos tho junior cup contest, However, on reaching'Cartetion they were prevailed upon to play, and making up a team of fourteen with schoolboys, the match was gone through, naturally resulting in aj one-Sided affair, the Eivals winning \by 12 points to nil, The lack of energy on -the j part of some of the Stars'is to be deplored,'as up till the present the .Club is well up in points for the cup, and if the picked team had rolled up no doubt their usual stand would have been made, as they have twice'before; boaten Carterton this Seyeroil of the team could not ypossible': get away, but there were somek who: mil not leave the town to represent their club, This is a bad; policy in a footballer, and has the .effect of putting a damper spirits of those taking an interest iu" tbe olub.

V • The, final matoh for the possessioa of the Junior Cup: between these teams was played' in Greytown on Saiturdayi and created a deal of interest throughout the, valley, consequently a good crowd of spectators were present. Both Clubs put their best team in the field, and a rattling game wee gone through, ending in a victory for the Stars by one point, a try gained by. Collier, to nil.

The winners are to be congratulated- upon their victory, as (hey have shown great pluck during the contest. During the first round round they were at a 1 great disadvantage, always playing 1 short, but notwithstanding this they 1 only lost-one matoh, 1 that against- 1 the Maoris. The victory created" a: • good deal of surprise in Misteftoti, 1 ■! and the team was heartily congrate-:'' lated upon the result, J
