Messrs. A. B. Hanson and U. M. Car won the First Division bat- ling and bowling averages. Dr. C. W. Lam won both the Second Divi- sion batting and bowling averages.

entered three teams in the Tennis League, and it is a pleasure to record that our "p" Team won the "D" Division of the League, an achievement for which the players responsible are to be Congratulated.
