A practice game was played on the Race Course_on Saturday afternoon, the sides being chosen on the ground as follows Mr. R. de Malherbe Me, Edblad (Ca (Capt.) Lieut, Webb. Lieut, da Gusta.
Lieut. Thursby. Mr, Reiss.
Mr, Baxter, Mr. Raphinel.
Considering that the members have had but very little opportunity for practice this season, and that the ground was somewhat heavy owing to last week's rain, the play was by no means bad, some very good hits being made.
We might remark, however, that there seemed to be rather a tendency to hang the ball, and we hope to see it rolling 1 froely after a few weeks' practice." This, however, may be partly attributed to the fact that several of the ponies were in the field on Saturday for the first time, and seemed rather shy of going close up in the scrimmages, and moreover the ground being a little slippery made quick turning rather difficult.
'The game eventually ended with goal in favour of Mr, Eitblad's team, Mr. Malherbe's side having made four goals to their opponents' five.
