In th* early stages' Carlton were conspicuous; for • good head work, ;■ Still-, well g play being a noticeable feature. After several ihot attacks by Carlton Everton began to settle . down,,and ■ Boyne, :, dashing '/along we wing, centred* to Chambers, who scored hvertons first 1 , goal. Joyed,,then got - away for Carlton; and paused w Daw, but tho latter missed badly with an open goal. The Carlton backs wore faulty in'letting Chambers through, and the inside left scored the second goal. Everton' now had the. misfortune .to bap.Ridley, who, in tackling, fell and : twisted., hiSi knee.!' ana ,retired; for; tho rest of the game. When the game was resumed Everton played with one back, butthis was soon . Been to be bad policy against toe clevor Carlton attack, as Bennett scored two goals in Quick succession.

' "... jjj 3 Thistle v. brotherhood. Thistle and Brotherhood provided an interesting game on the Domain, notwithstanding the greasy and treacherous state of tho ground. .Brotherhood opened with the wind in their favour. Thistle at once adopted nggroaaive tactics, and Crabb sent' in two hot shots, which were splendidly saved by Oldnall, the Brotherhood's' goalkeeper. When within striking distanco of the goal, ■thistle were awarded a penalty kick, from which Cameron scored. Interesting play followed, in which 'both sides were seen to advantage, and after good work by Crabb and McPherson, Cameron scored Thistle's second goal. Brotherhood's, chance came soon afterwards, Knaggs heading a clever goal, and tho spell ended:— Thistle 2 Brotherhood X j Thore was hardly a dull moment in the second spell and play was both fast and hard.

Adult School had another man in the second spell, and opened by attacking strongly, but the Corinthian defence was equal to the occasion. Corinthian ultimately secured, the upper hand, and Mason scored twice in quick succession, and a little later the same nlayer netted Corinthian's fourth goal.
