Bolton killed three or four heads, and the gradually successful progress of Victoria was also in other respects a personal triumph for him. The other game was a- hard-fought one. Lyall Bay tied with Hataitai on the third head,' 3-all. Hataitai was 6 to 3 on the fifth head, and stayed on 6 for six heads, when Lyall Bay were 14 to 6. Hataitai then recovered, and made it 15-all on the sixteenth head. Hataitai were leading 17.t0 15 on the eighteenth head, when Lyall Bay drew away irresistibly, scoring 4, 1, 1, and -winning 21 to 17. Eyall Bay was lying better than the point claimed on the last head. Lyall Bay's outstanding player was Naylor. All the Hataitai players did their bit.
