who have regularly played the organ. Miss Levett agreed to continue to organise the annual flower show. Since

the financial year closed the church at Sanson has been painted, and improvements aro now proceeding at Greatford. We must compliment the church committees on these results.

The visitors won decisively by 26 to 6, but the home side was below full strength, the blacks taking the Hold with only 13 men, and losing one through a knee injury early in tnc’ first spell. Nevertheless, they held the blues to an eight-point margin at half time, and shortly afterwards I reduced the lead to 5 points.

Marshall missed a shot at goal, but McClean followed up fast to secure and score iu tho home corner. Marshall failed to improve. From a scrum Wysocki dashed round the scrum and scored, Marshall goaling aud making the scores: Old Boys 8, Bulls 3. Hutton made an opening and set ijif blue line going, Hunt rounding it oL with a good try iu tho corner, and halftime sounded with the scores: Old P s 11, Bulls 3. On resuming, black 'wards dribbled through and from a 'scrum Hazlewood cut in and scored. 'Stock’s shot grazed the post. Old Boys 111, Bulls 6. Tho blue backs then staged 'a series of passing rushes, but Culpan and Carter held them up for a time. Eventually Hutton raced through to the .home line, where ho passed to Calkin, [who grounded at the posts for Marshall to goal. Old Boys 16, Bulls 0. Home 'forwards pressed and Culpan tried to break through, but got the ball to

Gainey, whose “pot" went close to being successful. Culpan again bustled the opposition but was held up in goal Marshall cleared and the blue backi again broke away, Tolley running to the blacks’ twenty-five, where he transferred to J. Duncan, who scored under the uprights, Marshal lconverting. Old Boys 21, Bulls 6. In play again Hunt ran up the side-line until blocked by Carter, when ho centred for L.
