■ [By Damocles] ■ Tho only cup fixture .played in tho ! Wairampa mi- Saturday. wns ; the 1 Kotahitangi-To Oro ; Oro. match: on 1 tho Oval. All the others were post' poned on account of tho TOthbr, Tho I Oval was in a terrible state of iriiid ; and pools of water, and although it ; was raining hard all the afternoon, a j large crowd'of.enthusiasts were on , the ground,' in tho expectation' of sbmo glorious fun-'and., they.were . by no menus disappointed.: Kbfcahi- ! fcaiigi played only thirteen men,' but tho strapping lot of follows included ■ in the team mado them hot favortites ' from the start.. .The Te OreOrc team i were a mixed crowd of all colors and nations, somo of them doing far more harm than good to their side. • Although the game was an excellent one. for the spectators,; who thoroughly enjoyed the acquatic .perfor-mances-ortho'players, there was ' very little football about it, and the thrce tries scored by Kotahitangi wero the result of following up high kicks and "frightening the fall back into mulling, Te Ore Ore had none the worst of the game, some of their members playing splendidly,, but they were nofsuflicientlybacked up in their efforts to score,.; For the winners, Falkner was in his glory, and was about tho only one who could keep his feet. Dangerand Jury also played well, For Te Ore Ore; Matau, Jimmy, Hcri, and Tiwhaka were about the best, Mr George Hansen handled tho whistle, but it was not strong enough to .be heard above the hearty barracking of the oulookers, and he had a severo task in distinguishing theplayorsafter the first quarter, of an'hour,' : : "A match betwoen tho Oridntal first.and tho combined carpenters and cabinetmakers is. on the tapk for Thursday afternoon next. Somo influential natives of the district are arranging to toko a. represcntativo Maori team froiii .the Wairarapa this season. They will start after the Cup fixtures are over and will travel north, the tour to occupy six weeks. . I understand that Mr Mabupuku, of Papawai, is one of tho principal originators. .- ; Au'ejfort is being made by : those interested to play the FeatherstonStar.junior match at Carterton on Saturday next,' instead of : Saturday week, , As tjiel'e Ore Ore team will prqbably npt, meet Fealhojstonoi that date, it wquld be an advantage to ; both teams, 1 and also to the Union to fall in with the idea. This would allow a junior" rep" practice beirigf playedon tlie-following Saturday. '■! ' The senior fixtures postponed fi-oni last.weok will bb.playedinoxt Saturday.
