HALCOMBE LETTER

SPORTS IN THE VILLAGE A CRICKET MATCH (From Our Own Correspondent). A cricket mutch, the first for many yenvs, was played in I-luleombe lasi week end. and aroused a great deal of interest. The frame was between loiims representing l’nblic Services and Unicom be. The spectators were treated to some bright- hitting. and were much surprised at the all round cricketing skill on both sides. A young man from Feildiug, A . Soper, made the biggest, score of the day (ot;), while L. Williams and X. Anderson were tin- highest scorers for Ha loom he. The‘pitch was far from perfect, so the bowler s had the whiphand. so to speak. 'l’lie wicket keeping, in the circumstances, by I?. Clapham and X. Bryant, was exceptionally good. Messrs Christian and S. J. Ilarvey were the respective captains, and after the game called for cheers. , Light. refreshments were available, and altogether the day was most, enjoyable. The following are the scores:—

After partaking of smne light refreshments they went pack again, doing the 20 miles in a tittle over ten hours—a remarkable achievement, in this mechanical age. when the art of walking is being almost; forgotten. PERSONAL Mrs C. Campbell came home on Saturday. She is still a long way from well.
