Dunedin v. Zinoabi. This match came off on Saturday on tho Cale donian ground, and resulted in a victory for the " Blues " by one goal (five points) to nil. It was nearly half-past 3 when Tresedar kicked off for the visitors, and the ball being well returned by Smith, scrummaging ensued iv the Zingari twenty-five. At first it seemed as if the Blues had met their match, as slowly but surely they were driven, in the teeth of a strong wind, towards their goal-line. Smith,. Fulton, and R. Austin by a series of good kicks soon changed thu aspect of affairs, and thu Colours had to touch iv defence. From the kick out Harper made a magnificent attempt at goal from the half-way flag, the ball just passing under the bar. Despite the splendid efforts of Treseder, Howli s.iu, Thompson, aud Strom.*, the Blues continued to act on the offensive, until Mill, by a brilliant dash, scored a try. Harper was eutruste 1 with the kick, aud placed a grand goal. The rest of the spell was chiefly confined to the forwards, and half-time was called with thu ball iv neutral territory. On changing ends the visitors played in much better form, Treseder particularly dis tinguishing himself, and with Thompson, Hughes, aud Duncan pressed tho home team for some time. The Blue forwards were uot play ing anything like their usual form, lacking the dash and combination of former years, and quite regardless of the stentorian cries of their veteran captaiii to " come round." The Zingari for wards, on the other hand, were working well to gether, and showed a wonderful improvement on their last year's form. H. Butterworth now came to thu fore, and relieved his side by some good runs, and the visitors were again sorely pressed. All attempts to score were, however, nullified by the good tackling of their backs, and time was called leaving the Blues victors of a hard-fought and stubbornly-contested match. For thu winners the brothers Austin, Butter worth, and Fulton were the best of the backs, E. J. doing grand work at full back. The less said of the forwards the better, their play being anything but first-class. Mill, Gibb, Martin, and Smith were, however, brilliant exceptions, the former proving quite a host in himself.
