Kelly, of Mornington School, and F. Taylor, of High street School, the Chairman said that he trusted the winners would appreciate tEe gifts not only for their value, but because they had been gained on the approval of their head masters and by the ' votes of the members of the schools. He also referred to Mr R. A. the recently-selected Rhodes scholar, who had been a prominent player for the club for many years. The club now took the opportunity of conveying their hearty congratulations, and he felt assured Mr Farquharson would carry with him the good wishes of all the members. The chairman then referred to the fact that the' tion were willing to assist in the matter of improving the ground to the extent of a good sum if the district could raise £2O or ' £SO to assist. He urged all members to do their best in the forthcoming bazaar, to be held in May, and if they could raise the necessary £2O or £3O above the cost of their pavilion they would be in a good way towards having their ground improved. j Votes of thanks were pa&ied to the re- ' tiring members of committees, to the Referees' Club (by Mr T. Young), to the' Press for the great publicity they had given i to the doings of the club and Association ; football in general, and to the Mornington Borough Council for the use of rooms. ROSLYN CLUB.

The annual report of the Roslyn Association Club states: The First Eleven played 13 matches, winning 4, losing 6, and drawing 3; points for, 31; points against, 45. The Second Eleven played 15 matches, winning 4, losing 8. and drawing 3; while the Third Grade only managed to win one match. In addition to his usual generous donation, our worthy and esteemed president (Mr J. Smeaton) very kindly donated an I extra amount to procure a club trophy. ] This trophy was to be awarded to the most I consistent trainer and improved player, but ; as no player merited this distinction the Committee will, with the president's consent, hold it over to season 1906. Since training has been neglected this club have steadily deteriorated in play, and unless consistent training is indulged in the play and results of the various teams will be of a farcical nature. The club have a credit balance of £4, besides which there are several outstanding subscriptions. I ENGLAND BEATS SCOTLAND. I Press Association-i-By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, March 13.
