SECON PATIY COMPETITION. The secondary schools’ competition was resumed yesterday vlimi the third round of games iti the third and lower grades was playc-d. A few other mat.-hes also took place, but on the whole the standard of the play was not high, the bad conditions of the fields militating: against good football. Most of tbe grounds were very sodden, this lining specially so in the South Park, where s> \ i_ral of llio grounds wore almost under water. Owing to the bad state of the ground one game in thefourth grade was not played. FT: rEXL> LY MATO ff.
