The match between the champions of the L." R.C. and the Cricket Club was fast and on the whole fairly even. Some of the LR.C. forwards showed up well, but the CC. hacks were too good, especially Mayson, who displayed grand form and whose kicking in almost say posiiton was quite fut class. Gillingham played's dash- tog game and should be marked down by Capt. Locker as a suitable mate for Mayson in regular Club ma'ches.
