The following clubs will play the holders of the Edwin Stars: —Waitemata, Richmond, Grey Lynn, Carlton, Ponsonby, Auckland, Rocky Nook, Onefounga, Devonport, Epsom, Mount Albert, and Remuera. This is the order of the draw.

The Mt. Eden four, Tattersail, Rev. McFarland, C. Baker, and Surman are now winning the Edwin Stars, Smith’s Waitemata team failing badly in their effort at capture by 22 to 9.

It is cabled rom Sydney that there is no chance of the New South Wales team visiting the Dominion this season. If true, this will prove a subject for much regret.
