Sports Activities Reviewed. In a lengthy, review of the sports activities during the season, the President (Mr. D. F. Warren) thanked the lawn bowlers for the sacrifices made in other directions to take part in the League games very Saturday. The champion howler of the Club, remarked the President, humeroasly, was Mr. Russell, who made a praction of winning the championship every 20 years. He won it in 1000 and again in 1920. The President's Prize and Harvey Shield was won by Mr. C. Atkinson, and the Vier-President'a "Prize was won by Mr. J. Gibson.

The President also referred to the interest taken in tennis, and he ex- prossed the hope that even greater

interest will be taken next season in this branch of the Club's netivi- ties. Thanks were due to those who have in any way contributed to the ancerss of this department.

Comments.

Cornwall were full value for their win.

Their forwards controlled the scrums and were superior in the line out. In the loose there was nothing to choose. Heeling was slow and the Cornwall acruin half was too prone to run with the ball and nearly always set his threes off across the field. ・・・

Cornwall took the chances that were offered to them and did not make any bad blunders. If their backs had been equal to the Club backs they would have won by a much larger margin.

The Cornwall backs stood too close up and often took their passer standing still, or were shepherded toward touch and when they did get away they preferred to kick..
