Towards the end of the game, Harper, of Nelson, had his shoulder dislocated through being thrown, and retired. The Queenslanders generously allowed Bayley to take his place. July 20. — In the match yesterday Lambie, Darcy, Hiroa and Ellison played tho best game in the forward division. The game was strong on the defensive, but was very lame in the second spell. Harper and Wynyard were servicable three-quarters and were seldom idle. Wellington, to-day.
