MILTON V. DUNEDIN CALEDONIAN. The return match between the above Clubs was played at Dunedin on Saturday last, and resulted in a win for the Milton players by five points. The success was somewhat unexpected, aB when the Milton team arrived in Dunedin, three of their number were absent. A search had then to be made for substitutes, and two old mem bers of the Milton Club were found, who readily consented to fill vacancies, viz., Mr George Capstick and Master JameS Fer guson. The Caledonian Club kindly sup plied the third man in the person of their worthy Vice-President, Mr W. Watson, who played well, it ia fair to add, for the rink he was in. Rink No. 3 is certainly indebted to its substitutes for the very creditable stand it made. When the Milton players arrived in Dunedin, they were met upon the railway,platform by Mr Genever, the Hon. Sec., and other members of the j Club. The following were the respective Scores at the conclusion of each quarter of an hour : — Quarter Milton Caledo nian.

After the match was over, the visiting teams were entertained at luncheon at Ogg's Hotel, and after full justice had been done to the excellent spread provided, the president of the Caledonian Club (Mr H. S.. Fish, M.H.R.) proposed "The health of the visitors," and thoroughly spoke his mind with reference to the evident want of practice exhibited by his club ; and the vice-president of the Milton Club (Mr James Reid) in re plying, referred to the cordial manner in which the two clubs invariably met, and stated that he looked forward with great pleasure to the meetings of next year. This olosed the formal proceedings, and the visit ing team left for the train.
