TOWN EDITION.
Our reporter wired from Tolago Bay this afternoon: The Mangaheia and Mahia polo teams met this morning, at Mr Reynolds'. The former were represented by J. and M. Murphy, E. Reynold's, Bruce, and Bennett, and the Mahia team were : Rangp, Sam, Te Han, and Ture. The Maliia points and combination were superior to their opponents. Their hitting also was remarkably fine. Rangi played an excellent game, and seemed able to hit at any angle and from any position. .TeHau was the only one to meet with a mishap, receiving a bad shaking from a nasty fall. Mahia won by 10 goals to Mangahea's 3. Four three-quarter spells were played. The ground was very slippery. The scorers for Mahia were: Rangi (2), Te Hau (1), Sam (2), Ture (5). For Maungahea: The Murphys (1 each), Bruce and Bennett (one each). Mr J' K. Chase, a member of the Bengal pilot service, who was a guest on board the Dalhousle, speaks m glowing terms of the intercolonial steamers of the Union Company, m one of which he travelled from Australia to this colony. He says that the big liners running between Europe and India are very inferior to the red-funnel boats m appointments, cuisine, and attendance. Among the candidates for the Federal House of jtepresentatives is Mr J. C. Watson," an Oamaru boy, who is standing for the Bland electorate of New Soutn Wales m the Lab.or and Protectionist interest. Mr- Eden George, who once unsuccessfully contested Dunedin; m our House of Representatives, is a New South Wales candidate for the Federal Senate as a Protectionist.
