Gisborne v. Napier.
Bravo Gisborne I - ■■ g■. u' . [from A SPECIAL GORBESPOXDHNT.] NaFiBR, August 23. Your men are gallant fellows, and right gallantly did they contest A particularly strong team in their return match. We shall have to raise something bettor |han we have here to beat you. That of yours is all tod much for us, and we count him here: one iof the best players we havener seen. ? Our fellows had their eyes upon lifci all the’time; but he did a clever bft of “foxing” by being carried ashore and shamming sick. No man could have been sick and have played as he' did. Nothing was scored on either (side, so the match stands as if it had never beeri played. .
