. The l'cpresentfttive match between the above districts was played in Greytown yesterday afternoon, and resulted m a victory for theWiur arapa by 15 points to nil. A large number of people ;.were 'present, a half-holiday ,boing observed, in the town. The ground was rather heavy, and fast play, especially in tlio first spell, was in" no way conspicuous.' Marlborough was,,.represented by , a nienf but they played pluckily, and at times showed Borne tit-bits of brilliant play.' The form shown by.tlie Wairarnpa .team, in; tlio -first spoil was wholly disappointing, and if

they do riotiimpro've in their tactics will have the colors lowered to-mor-row. In the second spell, 1 however, the team'played better together, and : towards the end the individual members wcro beginning to know each other's .play, and made, things very merry. ' The Marlborough team was placed in the field as followsßack —Baillie; f-A. Carter, Connolly, Redwood ; I - Griffiths (Capt.), W. Carter; forwards—Morrin, Neal, T. O'Dwyer, Sinclair, Ireland, A; O'Dwyer, Greig, Woolley, Murphy. Magiiire replaced Booth at half 111 the Wairarapa team, the latter taking Oiveu's place at tliroo.quartcr. A, Welch took Merewood's position forward,-the latter not putting in an appearance, Mr Pratt officiated as referee and Messrs T, Thompson and C, Cress acting as line umpires, D'Arcy won tlio toss, and played with the wind behind him, The lirst spell was very uninteresting. Marlborough was penalised repeatedly ...for oif-sido play, thus making tlio game slow and dull. The ,ouly. Bcoro was made by E. Udy i placing a penalty goal. The second ■ spell was quite' the reverse'of the lirst, boing fast and open,... The excellcnt passing of Miignlrp, Hansen, 1 D'Arcy, and McGovern was a treat . to witness, and Marlborough was re- , pcatcdly in distress. After splondid rushes, D'Arcy scored two. tries and Mowlem' one, hone of' Which were 1 the greasy state of tlio ball, E. Udy taking two Sticks r and Wrigley one. ,Tust before the , finish D Arcy dropped a beautiful goal fronr the field, making the final 1 scoro for the Wairarapa team, and 1 bringingthe total up to fifteen points. 1 Both, teams were entertained, at a t smoke concert in tlio evening, and a ! very enjoyable time was spent,
