For the first time, the C.35, and DBS. met in two cricket matches simultaneously on December 9, the 1st XI playing at the CBS. ground and the 2nd XI at the D.B.S.
The DBS. had the better of the afternoon as they won one match and drew the other favourably, the finish being most exciting, as the last CBS man had to play three balls to succeed in drawing the match.

USE OF COTTON ON ROADS
A Lancashire Test

industry experts who are interested in any possible large-scale uses for cotton fabrics, have read with some surprise Mr. Hore-Belisha's statement on No- vember 11, in reply to a question by Majon Procter, MP, for Ac- crington. that experiments In this country and abroad do not according to his present informa- tion. justify him in specifying cotton cloth for use in the con- struction and surfacing of roads.
To put this matter to a pracil- cal test in Lancashire itself. In continuation of an experiment that has already been made at Burnley, Mr. Thomas Esker, a mill manager and a member of Chad- derton Urban District Council, has offered to supply to his councy suffident cotton fabrics af à suitable kind for use on a length of 150 yards of a road at Chad- derton.
