The above match was played on Sydney Sou ire on Saturday lust, and resulted in a win for Huntly by 11 points to 3. Messrs KrtC'oand Fisher umpired for Ohaupo and Huntly respectively, while Mr R. J. Gwynini filled the position of referee, and all gave satisfaction. L. Harris captained the Huntly and Marshall the Ohaupo team, the latter had only 10of Unoriginal team, and was obliged to pick three men from the Meld at the beginning of tho game and two more after the first spell. Hvntly won the toss, and elected to defend thu southern goal. Ryan opened by kicking off for Ohanpo, 'and the Huntly forwards, by a splendid rush, took the ball into Ohaupo s territory, and Ohaupo was obliged t.j save. Tho ball then remained in their quarters for some time, when L. Harris made a short, dodgy run. and potted a neat goal from the Held. The ball was then kept at half-way for a little while, until L. Harris made a'good run, and passing the Ohaupo backs secured the lirst try for Huntly. He took the kit'.:, but failed to convert it. Ohaupo from the kick out rushed tlin leather to the half-way Hag, but it was soon back into their 25. Turner, m a dribbling rush, f>-.11 over the line, and secured a try, but owing to a breach of the rules in taking the bal! out, the try at goal was not allowed. S M,n afterwards L.

For Jlnntly, Carter, Smith, 'Punier and Bailey were most piominent anion" tin; forwards, the latter of whom has not foY"olti;n his rough play of last year, mill Harris Ralph, McGlynn played [beajU for the- backs. For Ohaupo, Wrioß o linn, and Ryan played best iiihMMRP fN. wards, while. Walsh, Keep, Tidd.'MHrsli.iil and Knsiibs did most work among the backs. I may state that a spectator who U wiy we'll known m football circ'it.'s, set a \urv liad example by his whistling, and conduct g-nerally, which was followed by not only some of the spectators, but also by nieinbois of the winning tt-ani.
