Footiiaix : l'aruoll v. North Shore. — Thi; match was played on Saturday lost nt the North Shore. Tho weather almost all that could bo wished, and tho ground in fine form. North Shore won the toss; Parucll had tho "kick off," and at it they went. Neither aide could boast of much advantage hoforo first "time." After the tint change, Pamoll drew out and gave their opponent! genuino hard work to keep the ball from intruding behind the sacred precincts. Soincrvilk's "runt" were rapturously applauded by the visitors, and will, indeed, become piovorbial. Cotton, after a smart run, succeeded iu forcing his way to tho goal line, when he closed with Whowoll ; but the Utter auccunibod ; tint touch to Parnell. Third and lost " change " will be long remembered for Coatos' grand "run" into liis enemies goal, whore he was vigorously received by llnrfoss, the result of which was touchdown No. for Pamoll, and a scar for poor Coates, which ho may bo proud of. Messrs, Nolan anil Burgess worked as usual, and are certainly tho backbone of the North Shore team. Messrs, Wbisler and Walpolo acted as umpires to the great satisfaction of all the kickers. Time was called, lusty chests, and the scene closed. (jold frames do very well for paintings, l)ii t when it comes to " frames of iniiid" the lew* guilt the better,
