In the game between Post and Telegraph and P-etone B a first-class game was witnessed, the passing of both teams at times being splendid. Post and Telegraph were handicapped by playing one man short. Jones (P. and T.) was a long wil y the best of tho forwards, his placing of the ball and following up being excellent. Hereawa v. Artillery was a well-fought game. KARORI-PAKEHA. The match Karori v. Pakeha was played at Karori, and the. ground was in first-class .condition. The first spell was very even, the ball going from end to end every few minutes without any ■ score.

Karori kept up the attack, and from a forward rush C. Spiers finished up by scoring. Pakeha now 'attacked for a time, and Perry missed a chance to score, and then a passing rush by tho Karori forwards ended in Cole notching a goal.

Petone were having all tho best of the game at this stage, and the spell, ended liy Wylie notching the third goal for them.

Shortly after, Beswick added another goal to the Petone score, and, after a loose piece of play by Hui Mai backs, Wylie put on another goal. Just before the call of 'ime Howe again found tho net.

A mishit by one of the Artillery forwards allowed the Horoawa forwards to carry! the game into their opponents' 25, and. Kuch, taking a quick pass, notched the third goal. Artillery, by some, good play, enabled GilJrspio to find the net. The game ended with the play in Artillery's quarters. For' Artillery, Porter, Ryan, Kivell, May, and Gillospie were very prominent, while for Hereawa, M'Dowell, Clementson, Craff, Dowling, Bruce, and Kuch were the best. Mr. M'llvvid© was referee.
