The success of Dr. Lowson's tug-of-war police team at the Gymkhana on Saturday has excited a keen spirit of rivalry in their comrades and there is talk of a team being formed in the force to pull the victors at 850 per man. Saturday's team was DAKIN, CRUICKSHANK & undoubtedly a good one, the fellows strip.
