As only to be expected from one who relies on forcefulness, Miss Perry was not always successful with her drives on both hands; but she ever give up trying and was finally rewarded when Miss Grimes' Ane

The final scores were 1-6, 6-3, Gö in favour of Miss Perry, who

An interesting and satisfactory trial was held on the Club ground last Sunday morning. The Probables (Whites) and Possiblos (Colours) were seen in a drawn game, each side scoring twice. Pyara Singh scored both goals for his aids while Kraus and Punto equalised for the.rs.

Both sets of forwards were fast, but the defences on each side came off best in the tussies. Several changes were made after the inter- val. A. E. P. Guest, who partnered E. L. Gosano, was seen with Mchar Singh for the colours and Pinto led the attack Brown Alled the centre- half berth and Wali played at inside left with Bond on the wing.

Commenting on the players, I would say Ramzan seemed safer in goal than Benwell. Of the backs, E. L. Gosano, for the Whites, showed up well, with A. M. Rodrigues (Colours) second best.
