Last Saturday I went over to the Norman Whitley in the First. He is tuining as he is upon the stage for dark.

Bet Cor a paralytic display batting by the Civil Service on Saturday Inst they would have been beaten. The Club will probably remember last year's game with the Civil Service and go out to drown the memory of that impertinence.
