A series of brilliant runs by Buller, Jackson, and Evans took the fight into the enemy's country, and kept it there.

It seemed as if the visitors meant scoring again, when a sudden change occurred in the state of affairs.

It was but three minutes off the calling of time when Tookey, one of the Scotch quarter-backs, got hold of the ball, and made a magnificent run, passing right through the opposing forwards and quarters.

He was collared by Evans, but immediately threw the ball behind him.

Dimsdale had followed up the quarter-back and caught the ball when it was thrown backwards.
