In six of the matches there was but one game difference at the finish, and in many of these "deuce" was called again and again before the deciding point was made. At the conclusion of the game the president of the Association (Mr K. Caldwell) presented the Challenge Cup 10 Dr. Culhbert (lhe captain of thi Huntly team).
