i [bv damocles.l » . J s Watsonleftbyyesterday afternoon's i train for Wellington en route for t Sydney, and immediately after a » wire was received in Mastorton for Gray to proceed at once. The latter j player accepted the offer, and left s Mastorton tuia morning. Gray and y Watson are in splendid' form, and ■ will prove a tower of strength to 5 "Ourßoys" on the other side. The 3 Sydney men will find it a far more t difficult matter to get through the N. Z, forwards on the 29ib, than they did in the previous match, if men of Gray and Watson's calibre are placed in the team.

Perhaps " Half Back" will explain. It is time the Wairarapa Union arranged practices for their rep. team, if they wish to make any show against Wanganui, who visit us early next month. By picking the probable fifteen, matches could easily be arranged against all-comers, and a ohance be given to the players to become acquainted with one another. With three equal clubs to choose a fifteen from, ffairarapa should retrieve their lost laurels this year. Wellington also expects them to play
