FOOTBALL.
.[Dunedin v. Temuka. [prom the correspondents op the press.] Timarit, August 28. The football match between Dunedin and Temuka took place to-day. About 600 people were present. The match was the best contested of those yet played, the teams being very evenly matched. In the first spell Temuka forced Dunedin down once. In the second Dunedin got two force-downs. In the third Dunedin scored a touch-down, and Temuka two force-downs. Dunedin thus won by two points. Temuka got the best of the scrimmages as a rule, but Dunedin's back play was splendid, the ball being kept well in the centre of the ground for the greater part of the match. The dinner takes place this evening. The match between Dunedin and Timaru is to be held to-morrow (Wednesday).
