Dowsett, Iggulden, Anderson, Connelly, Griffiths, Smith, Emergencies—Backs—Williams, Wolland. Forwards—R. Griffiths, W. Gray. ♦ * * * A meeting of delegates of the Bush Rugby Union will be held at Pahiatua on Saturday night. * * * * The Marborough “reps” will now play the Bush “reps” on Monday, August6th, and not on the 13th as previously arrauged.

To-morrow’s match should prove very i interesting, and, should the day hold tine, I anticipate a large number of spectators will be present. As for the result of the match, I am inclined to think it will be very close to a drawn game. The forwards of the South team arc the heavier of the two. but, on the other hand, I pin a lot of confidence to the back division of the Northerners, which, I have no doubt, will counterbalance the strength of the opposing forwards.

The Pahiatua school boys journey to Woodville to-morrow to to try conclusions with the boys there.
