It is intended to make this an annual affair. The Ohinemuri Company have visited the Waikato three times and have always received the best of treatment while there and in return the Ohinemuri Company to “do one better” for the visitors. It is now proposed to make the match a triangular one and to include the A and B teams of the Ohinemuri Company and the Waikato team. * On the Turua estate a good deal of work is being done in the way of draining and fencing. A considerable area is being ploughed and sown in oats to , feed the horses working on the estate.
