(By Telegraph.—Special Corrcspon dent).

Niasox, Monday. • Tho Junior representative match, Nolson v Wairarapa, was played at Trafalgar Park, and was won by the latter by three points to nil. In the first spoil Thompson ran round all the opposing backs and scored, Wairarapa had tho best of the gamo all through, both forwards and backs proving too fast for their opponents. Undorjordinnry circumstances tho Wairarapa team should have won by twenty points, Jeffries, Sheen, McCarthy and Galloway getting over the line, but tho tries were disallowed. Tho crowd blocked the goal line, and all efforts to score were fruitless, "dead ball " being given tini3 after timj, £>*. .Mi: Cressw'ell ■ntjA as. lleferee, but has a wholly difwent interpretation of tho rules to the Wairarapa rcforees, and completely baffled our boys.

Thei'o was a great crowd on the ground, and the cheering was impartial throughout. All our backs played a grand game their speed proving a surprise Tho llefuree made tlio game wretchedly slow, it being a series of scrums and free kicks against our team,

None of the players were hurt. Tho ball in honour of the M.H.lt's and footballers was a brilliant affair.
