WAIRARAPA V. BUSH
MASTERTON, 27th August. On the Park Oval on Saturday, the Wairarapa representatives defeated the Bush Districts' team by 25 points to 3. The visitors were outclassed both back and forward, particularly in the second spell. Their backs were fairly good on the defence in the first part of the game, but lacked dash throughout. The first half was a very poor exhibition, and the spell ended: Wairarapa 3 (a penalty goaj), Bush 0.
Wairarapa improved very much in the second spell. The backs threw the ball about with greater precision, and the score mounted rapidly, the home team putting on 22 points and Bush scoring a try. Mr. Fletcher, of Wellington, was referee.
