On the Club de Recreio Green N. J. Bebbington and A. Hyde Lay beat S. J. Houghton and T. Fergus- Fon by 28-10. The loners took the lead with a four on the first head and then single, but when the winners chalked up a five on the fourth they went to the front stay there throughout the match. On the 13th head Bebbington and Hyde Lay were leading 19-8. A five to the losers on the 18th head reduced the deficit, but the winners held the lend by 20.15.
