Jackson, Martin, Grut, Harrison, 14; Chegwin, Scoullar, Smith, Bentloy, 18. ° H&in's gamo against Waxman was ,tho 'centre of attraction.' Both skips were remarkably alike in their methods. Hain's men played with remarkable' consistency, and outclassed their opponents. ! Gpldstone's game provided an exciting finish. They tied with tho last end to- go, the Victorians lying two. Coltman placed a fine shot behind tho kitty and. won tho gamo. -. . ' Harrison's game was remarkable for slow scoring. They wero oven for 17 ends, only' singles being scored. ' Hain is very pleased with the greens, which, suited tho ■ Now Zealanders, but ho thinks tho gamo started top late. Hain also expressed tho satisfaction of tho wholo team with tho arrangements made by Mr. Hannah, secretary of the Association. Mr. Thomas (Now Zealand), who is in the , hospital, is still in a serious condition.
