The Greytown Club should certainly also enter. & The following team, wliioh ia a stroug one, will represent the second fifteen of the Red Stars in their match. with the Greytowu first 8t Greytown on Saturday next:—H. Wrigley, Green, Richards, Jimmy Taiapa, Jumbo, Webb, R, Jackson, T. Wrigley, Gunther, Fellingham, Braggins, M'Kenzie, Butement, Brunton, and Lees; emergencies,Parker, Bennington, Clifford, Wimsett and E, Guother,

The Wellington Rugby Union has decided to abandon Newtown Park partly on account of its rough state and partly because an admission cannot be charged. All Cup matches will bo played on the Agricultural Associa tion's new ground at Petone it it can b secured,

»k The Mastertou Club's team returned its Southern tour to-day. The trip np was a very rough one, Most of the men bear murks of having had a severe struggle in the Alhambra matoh. Tho Alhambra forwards, they say, were altogether too good for them. The trip throughout has been a most. enjoyable one. Bannister, wlio sustained an injury lo his knee in the Merivale match, is to be removed to the Masterton Hospital.

The Ponekns (WetJinefcon) defeated Petone on Saturday by three points to nil, Potwie had the best of the game throughout.
