HOKITIKA NOTES

(Our Own Correspondent.) HOKITIKA, August 10. i The success of the Esfcelsior senior . Rugby team on Saturday against i the United. Club was welcomed here. It is said that Excelsiors object to haul ng- so much travelling in the | third round and do not like the prospect of another journey to Greymouth should it bo decided that they must meet Cobden there. The Rugby Union might be disposed to fix the final for Hokitika, witib an outside referee and make! some special arrangement regarding the gate. It should be a payable one here. The jutt or game between Rimu and ‘ Kiwi, M Rimu on Saturday ended in . a w?m for Rimu by 3 points to nil. , Rimu scored early n the game, which was fast and elven throughout, but the line was not crossed again.
