Palmerston North, August 27. The triangular football tourney between the Palmerston North, Napier, and New Plymouth High Schools was advanced another stage to-day when Palmerston as easily defeated the Taranaki boys as they did Napier on Thursday. Tho score was 36 points to 5; and, although the ground was sloppy and a high wind blew across the field, the local boys gave another excellent exhibition of combined play, all tho scores being the result of exceptional, passing. ' Tho Abraham Cup final was won by Palmerston seniors who defeated Old Boys by 6 to 3 after a poor exhibition of Rugby played in pouring rain. Tho conditions, suited the Old Boys, but they were not able to take full, advantage of ■; /them. At tho call of time each side had scored "a try, but, in the play-off, .Palmerston added another score, and thus won the Cup. ■'. . i ■ • ■ , OTHER MATCHES.

The annual inter-collegiate match between Nelson College and Christchurch Boys' High ; School. teams took place on the Nelson College' grounds, last Thursday, and resulted in a well-earned victory for the Nelson boys by 20 points to 3. The College boys were .'lighter, but. in better condition' than the Christchurch High School boys, and gave a splendid display of passing, while their. line-kicking was quite a. feature of the game. For. kelson Meuli, ! oh the wing, scored five tries, and M'Nab, at centre, scored, one, which was converted by Richmond, 'while W. P.' Guiney kicked a' penalty goal for the. High School. King and M'Nab were the pick, of the. College .hacks, the forwards being .a very even lot, and for Christchurch Russell, W. P.' Guiney, and Black-, more were the most'prominent. . On' Friday, after a very fine exhibition of Rugby, Nelson College defeated King's College (Auckland) by. 6 points to 4. Tho passing of the backs of both sides was a treat to witness, and the. tackling was hard,, clean, .and sure.'! Just before halftime King, (Nelson) "beat several of .the opposing backs in great style, and-passed to M'Nab, who scored'amidst tremendous applause. Shortly after the second -spell opened, the ball went out to Peach (Auckland), who. potted a splendid goal. This put'.King's.CoKege a point ahead,, aud from now. on the excitement,, was. intense., In the closing stages of the game, :Hampson," the Nelson half; made a brilliant -run, and'passed out sowed, hear the corner.
