Considerable interest was centred m the gamo, on' which practically rested the winning of thu Cup, and as a result the attendance of spectators from all parts -W the district to very large.. From the commencement of the game Greytrjwu appeared ,\ o have a considerable advantage. A aaahingstyleand their backs wore simply ' impassable. In the,first spell Baumbor and Beard seoured tries for Greytowu, both of which were oonvered, and in the second Udy and Pellnig soored, the latter of whioh was placed.

For the » winners Ingley, Beard,' Baumbor, * Brunton, Udy and McCarty were oonsmcuous by their brilliant play, Jhj* oT the Rivals, Taomas Stalard Freethand Keid,were the piok. Messrs Udy and Nicholson aoted as umpires for Greytown and Carterton respeotivoly, and Mr W. McKcnzie as referee, Greytown's wiuplaoes that club in a premier position, and it will therefore be possessor of the'eup for a season. ■ft Om Ore 7 Rodltarj. / J*

A Jrongwind wa s blowin? down the field, and the play for the first spell was wholly relegated in the Mao : t.onty.five3. The Stars seemed play wuhout spirit, and although on "everal occasions an opportunity to "ore presented itself, advan L a pi" 0 ' akeDl D ' A W and E. %' Ming made some good pots at goal, but none were registered. Thogamo tllhalfto.was slow, owing to the Stars biking too hard. The Natives woro continually forced, When the teams changed ends, the Natives, witha big gale in their favor, made things very hvely, and plaving with f'f combination, thoy gave'their backa a show, and two tries were gained by Remini in an easy manner soon.after the. spell commenced, Neither were convorted.-Thie.ii no doubt, put the Stars on theiifT mettle and although against greaf odds they played with something lib tbeir old dash, and from this out the game was very interesting. The feeding of the Natives was greatly admired, Fani, Ban-stow, and Bernini playiug excellently ft hile Cameron, biuioon, and Dummy i n the forwards gave thoEedsa deal of trouble.

The inducements offered fora Waj. rarapa team to.visit theSonjkhardiy seem to be suffloient to 'jfiify the ■ trip. The project will, however, be carefully considered at a commilMflL' meeting of the Eugby .Union ■ to' hold later on this week, or early next week, Ohristohuroh haa. guaranteed twenty five pounds, without gate ■money, while S6uth Canterbury (Timaru) offers half tho gate money. As it iB expected that at the most twenty pounds would be takouat Timaru, that only means about ton pounds for Wairarapa, The Otago Eugby Union has replied that their men cannot play the Wairarapa representatives in Christchuroh, as this year their annual match with Canterbury is to be played in Dunedin, and thoy therefore will not be ooraing North at all,
