The band of the Middlesex Regiment was in attend. ance to enliven the afternoon with a few Irish Airs, and when they played “God Save the King” at the end, we all said "good-bye" to Kwanti for another nine months.

ROYAL SCOTS DEFEAT CLUB 5-1 AT
SOOKUNPOO
(By. "Rex")
Club went down five goals to one in their First Division League encounter with Royal Scots af Sookunpoo yesterday.
Club's weakness lay in their defence. Odell, Bone and Eardley showed very poor understanding. Odell picked up later in the game and put in some nice saves. Bone's inclination to kick back to the goalkeeper cost the Club one goal and his clearances were at times wild. Eardley, individually, rendered a good account of himself, but failed to cover up for Bone laying upon himself more work thereby.

At the big meeting the cob had two unplaced outings with the result that the owner made a present of the gee-yce to Mr. A. H. Potts, who naturally was tickled, with the vic- tory of his new "dumb friend" in the Kwanti Cup. We will have to wait now and see how the lad will act at Happy Valley.
