match of the season was concluded on the In magnificent weather the Grst banged interior of the Racecourse on Saturday afternoon, when a representative team selected from the members of the premier club opposed a correspondingly strong eleven from the agers.

Wilson are entitled to considerable praise. The teams faced each other as follows:—
