Willie Wong brought the score up to 50 By a preuy drive lor 3 onto tire top ol the cowshed, But alter compiling li runs was diugiit neatly in the slips By Miss Tessy i'vioynman. Mr donehie, lining a Bali lor 6 into the pigsty, was loudly applauded By the numerous spectators. Concme’s team finished the innings with 76 runs to tnetr credit.

Miss Angela Moynihan and Mr mum. iviuiiucif opened mr Moyniiian’s eleven. Mr Munden, however, had a snort reign, succumnmg first Ball to a ‘googhe” lrom Miss Mary Concliie. Mr rred Wragge,> treating the Bowling with contempt, rattled tour consecutive Balls onto the cowshed in most convincing lasmon. Five wickets lor 38. Mr G. Pram and Mr R. Moynihan made the most determined stand ol the evening. The former piayer took great pleasure in driving the Ball into the pigsty, and, judging By the squeals and snorts ol horror which emanated lrom that quarter, he was attaining his goal witii marked success. Mr Conchie here displayed fine generalship by changing ms hem, placing “Wamgal” Mciveii/ue on icjj oi me cowshed, Willie Wong m the pig yard, and Jack Concme in me p±gsiy. ine score crept up By ones ana evos to 56, and excitement was runn ng mgn when a.iiait iigu to ne cm.ed m ine game on accot at oi the Berkshire hoar chasing Wnlie Wong out Oi me pig yard. Fortunately •‘L»ude” ttomiison had thought fully brought with nun two oi ms •lamer's (Mr marry Bonmson) most noted pig dogs. The Boar was Bailed up in a corner, Willie resumed his position, and the game was continued with unabated enthusiasm. Mr. W. Moynihan narrowly missed being*caught out through “Skinny” McEwen tripping himself up over a halfgrown porker before he could reach the ball. Miss Tessy Moynihan, in partnership with her lather, played havoc with the bowling, until she lilted a ball onto' the top of the cowshed, where “Warrigal" reclining up against the exhaust pipe, was stationed. “Warrigal” was seen to fumble with the hall, and then to disappear over the edge of the roof with a resounding splash into the skim-milk tank. Amidst intense excitement he came over the edge of the tank, spitting out thick lumps of curd, with the ball firmly, grasped in his hand. Taking him all in all he is a young cricketer of distinct promise. This ended the game, Moynihan’s team winning by two runs, loud and prolonged cheers being given for the winners, and a memorable evening concluded by all joining hands and singing “Auld Lang Syne.”
