In the second half the Nelson College boys fell to pieces, and 20 points were registered against them. Edwards got a try, and Hales landed a fine goal from a penalty kick. Payton, M'Ara, Palethorpe, and Kember secured tries, the latter's score being made after a brilliant piece of work on the part of M'Kenzie. Haleß, by a fine kick, increased the score obtained by'Palethorpe. .Nelson was unable to score.
