start. Tlio gum© was very fust from tlio commencement, as is seen from the scoring, tlio Kins in a short per rind securing four goals; Pollock (2), Bright nml Miller one each being responsible for thorn. Cockerill and Pin© secured two for To Ran. The To Ran men, Cocker.ill and Pmo, loked like getting another score, but Pottle saved, nnil got tho ball away, when Brown took it back and bail bad luck in overrunning tho ball. In tlio second spoil things woro very willing, and Pollock, Grieve, and Bright took the ball well into To Ban’s circle, when Fox with a good drive sent the ball out of danger. Bright took the ball into To Ran s circle on bis own, but shot badly, anil the ball rebounded from tho post anil Hakiwai saved.
