Play was composed chiefly of scrums, aud free kicks for tho High School, and owing to tho sloppy condition of the ground Borne exciting tumbles " were witnessed, greatly to lho amusement of the spectators. In the opening spell tho Colonials wore the first to score, Wake taking the ball from behind the scrum, and managing to get over tho line. The kick at goal was a failure, and towards tho close of the first spell, LeCren, taking a pass from Colliua, got be hind the Cdl onials' tsrritory. No goal re sulted, and aftor half timo was called the scores stood even. In the second spell the school went m with a will, and after ten minutes had olapscd, Von Haaat bad not much difficulty m getting over, and, taking the kick himself, mado tbo ball fly wide of tbo mark, Soon after this, Bilton, with a splendid run, got behind tbo Coloniols' goal line, closo to the line out, and Von Haast taking tbo kick placed a splendid goal con sidering the difficult angle at which he kicked from, lhe Colonials, seeing the odds against them now workfd with vigour, but it waa of no avail nnd Cramond scrambled over tbe Colonials' line. Von Haast, taking the kick, added another goal for the High School. Play after this waa hardly worth mentioning and when time was called tbe high School wero victorious by 8 points to 1. For tho school Collins, Von Haast, Bilton, Buchanan, and Chisholm played splendidly, and for tbe Colonials, Boys, Wake, Werry, Wade, and Macdonold wero most conspicuous. Messrs Jones for the High School and Thompson for tho Colonials, offered their services as umpires, whilo Mr Hogben sounded the referee's whistle. The Purily cigarettes are a milted by the most eminent physicians of the ege to be tbe purest. — [Advt.] SYNOPSIS OF NEW ADVEBTISEMENCtf. Moss Jonas — Sells stock at Newmarket yards, on sth mat.
