After a fairly evenly-contested J»m*, the former succeeded in establishing a lead of one point, the result of a neatly-placed goal .by C. Andrews. Mr. F. Waddell refereed. Then followed an exhibition of physical drill by a squad of twenty cadets, who, under Cadet-Sergeant Wynyard, and instructed by Mr. J. Lyntkey, gave a very capable diMnhy.
