According to airangemect, the High School did aot put in their strongest fifteen, and as the Tim&ru boja have just completed their Junior Fi&g Competitioos, » tough match Was expeoted. Spectators were not disap pointed, for when tima wbh called, it was generally admitted that ib had! been the fastest Junior game played in Tfmaru.

The first spei! ended Timaru 3 poiote, (a try by Paterson) Ohriet oharch nil. la the second spell Christoharoh made the game faetsr, and pressed Timiru hard for a while. The chief feature of this ■pell was the splendid full back pay of Viokermass, who did not misi the ball once, and relieved Timaru over and over again. Crawford, Qnnn, and Black made several good passing rushes, and at last Guan crossed the lin>v Agkin no goal wbb registered. No further bo >re resulted, and » hard fought R\me ended in a well deserved win for the southerners by 5 points to 0. The game was played in a fine spirit-, and it was a treat to watch. For Chriatohurcb, bos-Mea those mentioned, Currie, D A'Courb and Nlcoll were the mosb prominanb ; while for Timarn Gow, Fimell, Scott, and Anatey did goorl service* Mr W J Moore ra&da a most efficient referee.
