WELLINGTON COLTS WIN.
BUSH DISTRICTS DEFEATED. (By Telegraph.—Fress Association.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. The Wellington Colts' fifteen defeated Bush Districts by ,35 points to 0 in a representative match at Athletic Park to-day. Fast, resourceful, and combining excellently, the Wellington backs did what they liked. Ten tries were scored, and four others were lost through faulty handling. The Bush Districts' passing was lamentably poor in the first half, and their forwards worked only spasmodically. In the second half Wellington overwhelmed the opposition. McKay, Griffin (I , ). Ripgs, Warwick, Martin, and Smith scoring tries.
