-MELBOURNE v. WAIRARAPA. | Much interest is being evinced in ' 'the two-dnvs' match between the visiting Melbourne-team and the Wat- !►•* *ara.pa representatives. Wairarapa cricket enthusiasts do not often have an opportunity of witnessing a crack | 'Australian team playing, and as the team which arrives here this week is j Tenuted to be one of the strongest j ■clubs teams in the Commonwealth some interesting displays of the popular pastime should be witnessed, while ; •the 'match will also indicate the real ■strength of cricket in the Wairarapa. 'Hie Wairarapa Cricket Association! have shown a desire to foster the game in the Wairarapa, and their action in securing such an important fixture for Masterton _ should greatly help the game in this district, i and it is to be hoped that the public will do their share by attending in) t-A Targe numbers, as? the in ** connection Avith the match, will no .h'eavy. I The team to represent Wairarapa is I as follows :■■ McAlpine. Collins and , Thorpe (Martin borough), Jordan, Red- j mend. Oongdon. Q. Perry and 'Logan | '("Masterton), Hickson (Carlton), Smart '(Carterton). Kemhall (Carlton); twelfth man, K. Welch/ (Carlton). No doubt Home exception will be ] ta-ke.n to the inclusion of Smart (Car- i tertoTi) in.'the team, as he has not tn-lcen an active part in Wairarapa. cricket this season'. The selectors, liowever. ha.ve a. wide experience of the capabilities of the various players, *nd no doubt included Smart for good reasons. The visitors, who number some fif- '*•' teen players, will arrive in Masterton on Tuesday evening, and will l be met bv officials of the Association. _ On 'Wedinesdflv morning the Oval will J>e ■ open for practice to those who desire so, while others will be taken £or a •motor ride to places of interest in the •'district.
