MILLAR AND GIORGI CUP. TERRACE END WINNERS. ' The midget competition', run in conjunction with the Manawatu. Rugby Union’s Saturday matches, was concluded yesterday, afternoon, when one semi-final and the final were played at the Showgrounds. In the semi-final College Street heat Terrace End B by 3 —-0 in an evenly contested game, while in the final the

winners met Terrace End A. The latter eight displayed plenty of scoring ability and ran out the winners by 11 points to 3. Tries for Terrace End were scored by Kaye, Sutherland and Weston, Walker converting one. By their success Terrace End retain possession ot the Millar and Giorgi Cup. The trophy was donated to the Manawatu Rugby Union in 1930, Hokowlritu School winning that year. Twelve months later College Street A emerged as the winners, but Terrace End have dominated the position since, yesterday’s victory bringing them their fourth successive win in the series.

THE JUBILEE CUP. When publishing the trophy winners I for the season now drawing to a close, “Cross Bar” overlooked the new trophy which came into existence this year—the Jubilee Cup. This addition to tli© extensive array of trophies owned by the Manawatu Rugbv Union was donated by Mr A. M. Ongley, the president of the union, to mark the Silver Jubilee of Their Majesties the King and Queen. Old Bovs were deputed by the donor to be the first | .holders —the blacks having just previously beaten Kia Toa —and the local club retained possession until Feikling j Old Boys lifted it on June 15. How- |

ever, tho new holders failed to survive the challenge of their fellow club team, Feikling, when the two clubs met in the subsidiary series, on the 14th inst., and the yellow and blacks thus hold the trophy during the off-season.
