The Committee decided in the protest from Alhambra Club against Pioneer B, winners of five a-side tournament at the Friendly Societies' Sports, that all teams whom the Pioneers played and defeated should play off again with the Pioneers.

(By Goalkeeper.) The match, Alhambra r. Pioneer, to be played on the Show grounds tomorrow afternoon, is exciting a great amount of interest and should prove very interesting. These teams tied last year for championship honors and have not previously met this season; and as both teams are playing in good form a good go may be expected. Each team can be confidentially relied on to do its utmost to win. Judging by sra™, P'ffdwith other clubTlis L£& ! Alhambras should win, but the improved form shown by some of this season's fiWw^ 6 Pi°neer team leads me t0 tnink that the margin of the win will be very narrow.
