The above match was played on the Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon. 'The ground was in a much better condition than on Thursday, although not by'any means ideal, and a good game resulted, which ended in a victory for the Club by. eight goals to one. The most' notable feature of the game was the splendid goal Keeping of Campbell, one of the Engineers' crack players, for the Rangers. The Rangers played a good game, though as yet they are rather (tcking in' combination however, there is a great improvement noticeable of late and after a little more practice they will no doubt be able to put a formidable team into the field. W. H. Moule and Cooper at forward showed very good form, and H. A. Stewart and Hart played an excellent game at back for the Club.
