FOOTBALL.

The Masterton Football Club held a successful practice on the Worksop - road ground on Saturday, good fordbeing shown throughout. The Red Star Club occupied the Park Oval And had also a very good practice. D'Arcy and Watson, two of the most prominent members of the Red Star Football Club, have thrown in theit lot with the Masterton Club. This will add materially to the strength of the first fifteen of the latter, and make it without doubt the most formidable team in the district. It is expected that a number of other members of the Star Club will join the Masterton. The Stars will in all probability compet? for the Junior Cup, and thsre will therefore be a hope of both cups coming to Masterton this year.
