'Pie match Debween Suburbs and City has ejc-t'-ts?' a" amount of interest in football ciiaies this week, as both districts scored J,^"victories lasb Saturday, and are strongly represented. Mr T. O'Connor w fll once more don the jersey, and play for (jjtv. Suburbs have made a few alterations' i n their team which they consider an improvement. 'f tie game between Grafton and Parnell will also be played ab Epsom. The latter will be represented by a much stronger team than was expected, and will doubtless result in an interesting struggle. Newton cross the water and play North Shoro on the Recreation Ground. North Shore will place a better team than that which played fos them against City in the field. The special football edition of the Star, giving full details of each match played daring bhe afternoon, will be published as usual on Saturday evening. The usual meebing of the Management Commibbeo of the Rugby Union was held la<t evening. Mr T.
