Eventually, from a centre from AVylie, Pakelia forwards rushed play into Pelone quarters. Clapsluiw sending tho ball hard (0 "U'. JI. Thompson, who seemed to be oft-side, but who scored. At fhis stage of the game (he play was anything but "entle mid UlO referee was apparently allowing the players rather much latitude. Pelone forwards; with a passing rush, presently had Pakelia 011 the defensivo and Perry, to save, had to give a penally corner. J. Jl'Ewan, when stopping' the ball, dropped his stick, and c!)iight it with both hands, but was not penalised. Pakelia had again to give a penalty corner to save. Shortly after, retone lost a ehnne.3 by oiT-sido play, prom tho free hit, tlieir opponents shifted play over the h.ilf-way line and the forwards, passing well, soon had play in Petxme's circle. One of the Petone players hero obstructed and the referee gave Pakeha a free hit in the circle (instead of a penalty corner). From this Bowater scorcd a goal. Pakeha soon had Petone again 011 the defence and Rowley shot a goal, which was not allowed. The spell ended: Pakeha, 2; Petone, nil. lit the second spell, Petone. playing with better combination for a time, had Pakeha "thinking," but the fine dofonco of Paget and Perry at full-back, saved time after timo. The latter once saved' by giving a penalty corner, nnd again a Petone player dropped his stick so as to enable him to use his two hands in stopping tho ball, but the breach of rules was again overlooked. Through the fine play of Bale, Thompson and Clopshaw Pakeha once more carried play into Petono quarters, but the defence of Edlin, in goal, could not bo beaten. Pakeha, however, kept up the attack, Parrant saving by conceding a corner. Petone rushed the corner hit and shifted plav- right down the field, and W. JPEwan finished up a fine passing rush-by scoring tho first goal for Petone/ From the succeeding bully-off Pakeha carried play along tho sward, but off-side play lostnhem a chance. From the 'resultant free hit Petone shifted play inside Pakeha's twentyfive line. Here J. JPEwan started a forward passing rush and Howe scored an easy goal. Shortly afterwards the whistle sounded time, and the game ended in a draw—Petone, 2; Pakelia, 2. For Petone JPEwan Bros., Parrant, Howe, and Edlin shone out, while Paget, Perry, : W. It.
