TO-MORROW'S AUCKLAND.WELLINGTON MATCH. (Our Own Correspondent.)

Auckland, This Dat. Of the match, Wellington v. Auckland, the Auckland Star -says :— Both teams are in good feitla, and a fact game ia expeoted, no matter what the condition of the ground. The visitors have been unfortunate in losing the servioea of Robert*, one of their best backs.* The Anqkland team is a good one on paper, and by its deeds on Saturday last against New South "Wales has proved itself good on the field. Our chief strength lies in our forwards, who combinewith their weight speed and dribbling. The' forwards are also good tacklers, and play *- rushing, fast game. Wellington will play »- stronger team in the field to-morrow than that whioh represented it against the Thames. No referee has yet been appointed. Tho Auokland Union requested the New Zealand Rugby Union to select a gentleman for the position.

The match at Petone, to-morrow, between Wellington and Christ's Colleges pronuMi to be most exciting. The Canterbury team ia very strong thisjrear, and a very olos* finish may be looked for.
