The most sensational happening on the ground was when the referee, Jim McLedowney. was hit by the ball on the place where they don't play billiards, and the spectators wondered whether he would go right out, but he recovered. The boys were treated to lunch by Mr McLedowney and to refreshments on the ground by the residents.—Own correspondent.
