ers on Saturday' last, 'à full programma of matches were decided.

The greatest victory of the day was that of Craigengower Cricket Club, last year's cham- pions, over Club de Recreio "Blue," last year's runners-up, by the very norrow margin of two shots.

A. X. A. Rahman and his three front men beat Basto's rink by 23 shola.
