There was a godll deal of bungling'onthe 2>art.of -the.seci'etaries/ or whoever had the avrangiiig'of the return football match that was to beplayed at Takapan between '• , Waipawa and- Danevirke to-aajv'n.Taka-.;.---pan was chosen because of- its position, it - being ab'qnt half-way, but it appears'that':'-' while 'agreeing to come," the TDan'evirke ''; team did not inform the Waipawa men. of this fact till too late, so they had to come ;r right' on. to Waipawa, where the'niatch" 1 was played to-day, and resulted in an easy . > victory ior tlie Waipawa team by- 17 points to nil. I don't know that a description, of the match' would, interest' youiS general readers much., Thb rbsnlt proves that Danevirke flesh" at'pfes'ent is not a match for Waipawa bone and sinew. However, ■ like sensible men, the conquered took their . second defeat good humoredly, and, will no doubt try again. ' The, victorious team are going to 'try conclusions with Waipukurau at Waipukurau on iWednesduy, and they are further going to try to win fresh laurels from., Poron«ahau, and Wai- ''' riui at Waipawa; on, Friday. latter.!, team will also play .'the TeAut'e teani • at. .
