FOOTBALL.

North v, South, [By Damocles.] The North v. South representative practice, arranged by the Union to be played at Carterton on Saturday, did not eventuate, owing to the South team failing to put in an apposranco. The North team travelled from Masterlon, and were disgusted to find their opponents had not .turned up. No word was reoeived from the Greytown contingent, of any reason, even football courtesy being utterly ignored, An enquiry should certaiuly, be made , by the Union inVthe matter, as this is the second rep. practice the Greytown men have been absent from, The least they could have done was to let the Masterton team know their intention before they went to the expense of hiring a conveyance.

An excellent practice was held by the players on the ground, and some fine individual play shown. D'Aroy, Thompson, Hudson, T. Welch, and W. Day were very conspicuous for their dashing play. Watson had the misfortune to hurt his collar-bone, but it is not thought seriously.-' Star.2nd.u, Greytown 2d

The junior cup match between the above teams was played at Greytown on Saturday, and resulted in a draw, neither side scoring. The home team were far the heaviest, inoluding some old and representative players, but the Stars ;wore not to to denied, and by their excellent combined play, held their own throughout the match. For the Stars, Wrigley, Galloway, Gieen and Eenall in the.hacks; and McKensie, Fred Dorset, Cotter and Wellington in the forwards fought well for honour, whilst' for Greytown, Smith, Brunton, Oliver,A.Beard,and Humphries' were tho best, Mr W, Thomas acted as referee, and Robinson and Udy lino umpires, The Greytown spectators wero, as usual, when these teams meet, lost to all sense of fair play, and the visitors were coutinually being hooted and hissed by a crowd of "hoodlums," who know no better.

A match is being arranged to be played 011 the Oval on Thursday next between the Orientals and the Tradesmen, An interesting game may be expected.

Cochrane, ;the how threequarler of the Stars, will bo a (jreat help to tho back division" of that club. His play against Melroso last week, although he was soverely out of training, was greatly admired, and I fully expect him to make a name for himself before tbiß season is finished.

The' old Masterton veteran, W. Day/donned the colours-again on Saturday, and playod his. usual dash, ing game at the practice in Carterton. The Masterton Club are gradually bringing their splendid team of last year to the fore again,

A big scoring 'nwtch was played at Wangnnui Inst Saturday between the Kararau and Castleoliff senior teams, in which the former scored thirty points in the first Bpell. Castlccliff refused to play the second, and are how disbanding, "<
