FEDERAL V. RICHMOND.

The above men's senior game was played at Richmond on Saturday, ana was won by Federal by 3 goals to 2. The winners had much the best of the game, but through not taking advantage of chances, and ,at other times through good defence, they had not much to spare. They played one short'through-
