Otago won both games, the senior by six goals to one and the junior by five goals to nil. The Greymouth teams were much lighter than their opponents in both grades, and the Grey juniors, in particular, played a courageous game against their much bigger opponents. The visitors were afterwards entertained at afternoon tea at the school and last evening were guests at the Regent Theatre. They left this morning for Christchurch, where they will play two matches to-morrow, before returning to Dunedin. Mr. M. G. McInnes is in charge of the party.
