Bayly in one of these runs charged up the^ field and by feinting to pass and take his kick, eluded several of the British players, and ran rieht up to the line, where he was tackled and held by threo Britishers, but breaking away ho let tho ball to Major, who dropped over the line, but as the ball was dead when Bayly wbb held it waa brought out and a Bcrum took place ri^ht on the British lino. The Taranaki men worked hard to keep it there, but the Bririsn forwards by judicious packing gradually workod the ball out of danger down the field. From this out tho play was remarkably even, but just on tho call of time, from a broken scrum in Taranaki'n 25's, Penketh got possession of tho leather and potted a neat goal. Scores : British, 7 points; Taranaki, 1. Tho result was now a dead certainty for the British, tinrn being called a few minutes afterwards, and the epeotatorß, who numbered about 1700, then dispersed. GENERAL REMARKS. The c;ame was a very even one, when it is remembered that only one force down waa recorded, nnd as such the publio had the pleasure of witnessing a tight gaiie. For the visitors their three-quarters, Stoddart, Brookes, and Anderton played well aa did their halves, Bumby and Speakman, while their full back. Burnett, always punted the ball well out of danger. Their forwards all worked collectively and well, but the team exhibited a lack of collaring power. For the Taranaki the three-quarters, Bayly, Hempton (who reoeived a nasty cut in the head), and A. Good, worked like Trojans, while Tyrer, at full back, kicked well, but his collaring appeared to be indifferent. Mills, at quarter, plated well during the early part of the first spell, but after Stoddart intercepted his pasa he seemed to go off color. H. Good's wing play was strong, and he collared well, but Tate seemed a bit off. The forwards worked well, Joll, Majoi, Pearoo, Veale, Lambie, and Willy being conspicuous on several oc casions. Thegame was foughtinafriendly spirit, there being occasionally a little nagging, inseparable from football, which wns forgotten tho next minuto. The Britishers were entertained at a dinner in the evenine. They left to-day (Wednesday) for Wanganui, where they piny the same day.
