After the ceremony a reception was hold at Palm Court Hotel, where many friends. gathered and honoured the toast to the happy couple.

A feature of the match was the sound defence displayed by both teams. The forwards played well but their shooting, while spectacu- 'lar, was inclined to be wild. This match saw Church and Rodger, the opposing custodians, give bril- liant accounts of themselves.

England's success was due to their unrelenting pressure towards the closing stages of the game, for play was evenly distributed right from the start: The goals were secured within five minutes of each other, Fowler's being the bet- ter of the two as he found himself in a position to send in an op- portune first-time shot.

The match was ably refereed by Mr. K. K. İp.

The teams lined up as follows: England: Church; Webster, and S, Strange; E. Strange Jones and Talbot and Bickford (capt.). Parker; Fowler,
