FIXTURE ABANDONED:
A hqtly contested football match between the Hollywood Hotspurs and the Wyndham Wan- derers was in full swing opposite the Police Married Quarters in Wyndham Street yesterday even- ing when the Police, acting on the orders of Mr. Wodehouse, rushed down on them. Most of the play- ers suddenly remembered that they had a pressing appointment and decided to postpone the match, The Police caught two of then and they were this morning pro- duced before. Major Willson ataj the Magistracy charged with ob- struction. They claimed that they were only watching the gume.
Remarking that"watching street football was as much. obstruction as playing the Magistrate fined them $3 ench.
It is sincerely to be hoped that the Police, having received peace for their own Benedicks, will now pay a visit to Glenenly, where a "match" is always in progresw during the tiffin hour.
