Another Unimpressive Display
F. A. MUNN BADLY INJURED

Madar's form at the nets and in practice matches shows that with him it is more loss of luck than of form and perhaps it would pay the Selectors to give him another

As to the fielding, as airekdy in- timated, the less said the better Seldom have there been so many missed catches in a representative match, and the ground work left a lot to be desired.
E. R. Duckitt was a prominent exception.
On the whole, if the Trial has taught us anything it is that our batsmen need shaking up and our felders waking up.

The competition entailed the ordinary school movement as whole, during which mounts were changed. So far as the individual. competitors were concerned, they had to take a brushwood jump and climb and descend a bank.
The horsemanship displayed was of a high standard and so far as the first five men were concerned, they were told to take an extra jump before the points were finally awarded. They were Sergt. Chaw ford, Sergt. Ferguson and Tors. Taylor, Lammert and Morgan, After this the judges announced that Sergt. Crawford was the win- ner (he also won the prize last year) while Sergt. Ferguson and Tpr. Taylor were second, being only ball a point behind.
The prize for recruits (presented by Capt. Potts) was won by Tpr. Barrow, and at a luncheon held at the Corps Headquarters in the afternoon, Major Dowbiggin pre- sents the prizes to the winners.
Among those who watched the competition at Causeway Bay were, Cap Wilkinson, Adjutant of the Volunteers, Lt. Gailetly, Capt. Williams; Capt. R. R. Davies, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Frost, Mr. R. M. Wood, Miss Bonnar, Miss Coppin and Miss Dunnett.
