The unexpected holiday of yesterday gave an opportunity for the Club in get up an impromptu Services Mateli. There was of course a certain amount of difficulty in getting hold of the various Service' members and there was the question of a Revlow, which in the end was cancelled. The weather was propitious as after qulto heavy rain in the small hours of the morning it cleared up. and was quite sunny when the game started. It remained to be seen how the wicket would play after the rain and sun.
