At 3 o'clock the ball was kicked off, and after about 10 minutes' play a goal was obtained by A. Young for the blues. Goals were then changed, when some good play took place, and after an exciting tussle, in which the Kensingtons had decidedly the best of the game. Dunstan with a rush took the ball up to the Kensington goal, where F. Stanton succeeded in scoring one for Kensington. On play being resumed, C. Wright obtained a goal for the Australs, and half-an-hour afterwards Wicksteed secured a goal for Kensington. At five o'clock the match was declared drawn as each team had scored two goals. Good play was shown on behalf of the Kensington team by Dunstan, Wyatt, Day, Hargraves, and Smith; for the 'Australs' team by Cossins, Mudie, Pettinger, Acraman, Shander, and Stephens. Messrs. A. S. Young and A. Frew captained the respective teams, and Mr. G.
