In the Western Division, the Fox Shield competition, iu which, the dubs engaged are Pihama, Auroa-, -Gpunake, Kaponga, Rakotu, and Warea, the Auroa Club is leading with only one loss, Kaponga. bonding next .position with two losses. These two dubs will piobablv meet at Auroa on Saturday next, when the result will be watched with considerable interest. A decision in favour of Kaponga will necessitate a play-off—a quite reasonable possibility, as they have -of late shown a pronounced improvement in their play. The shield was won last season' by Auroa. * THE ELTHAM CLUB. REPRESENTATION AT NEW PLYMOUTH.
