Feeling apparently got the better of the sporting proclivities of som.e of the spectators, and a number of unwarranted remarks were voiced by one or two so- | called “snorts,” much to the disgust of most of the other spectators lined along the field. It maj 7 be mentioned that the referee, though very strict, was absolutely fair and impartial, and lie had a + all times a full command of the play, his decisions being remarkably prompt, and very few points were missed. That, however, is by the way, It is a great pity "that a* few of the biassed onlookers had so much to say.
