Cheers were given for the victors and losers respectively, and an adjournment made to host and hostess Gray's, where the Island players treated their late rivals to plenty ■ of good tea and toothsome eatables. Thereafter Messrs J. C. Clfcrk, J. D. Gillies, and Wards contributed songs. Captain Gillies thanked the Island players for giving his team a match, and for the handsome manner they had treated them.
