The Police have recently shown a great improvement in cricket farm. Their bowlers have always been fairly safe, bab their batsmen have been weak. At the last two matches they have improved con- siderably, last week Alexander scored a Booker rose to the occasion and scored century, and on Saturday Grimmitt and 140 runs between them Booker's display was a very vigorous one and a sound one at that. His contribution of 20 included six mighty sixers scored off all three bowlers Grimmitt also batted punishing the bowling and sooring a sir well
off each of the three bowlers. Savage, bowling for the R.A.M.O., saved his side from a greater defeat and took the laat four Police wickets for 7 runs. Apart from Major Tomlinson's 34, nothing worthy of note was accomplished by the R.A.M.C. Scores:--

AT THE POLO CLUB GYMKHANA,
Those who think that folks in these modern days have become blad and have no apposite left for the simple joys of life should have been at the Polo Club Gymkhana on Saturday afternoon. member of the band voted the sport slow, but he was prejudiced. After playing half had been lent (gratis) to the Polo Club the right at the St. George's Bail, he when he wanted to have been watching he was not sure if the Committee meant his battalion team at football; moreover to give him any tea.

It was much more difficult than might be supposed especially when the buman steeds proved insensitive to the bridle and had to be pulled back on the equivalent

The expected degree of expertness of the various sections was duly represented in the result which was; Army, first; Civilians, second; Navy, third
A "chattie race" had nothing to do with a sport familiar to soldiers during the war. Men and their lady, partners galloped to a point where both dismount- ed. While the man held the panies the lady had to throw polo balls at a chattie until it was broken, when both mounted and galloped to the winning post. Miss Williams and Mr. Bibby won this.
A mounted tug-of-war was won by Mu Bell-Irving's team against Mr. Halli- fax's team.
The ponies introduced all sort of complications into this, contest; they wound themselves up in the rope, or pulled the wrong way, thus helping the enemy, or they affected to regard the rope as a horrid snake and refused to 7-781 were bare backed which gure them less have anything to do with it: The riders purchase.
