We understand that the club is going to be asked to compete for the Londonderry Cup next year, and we wish them every success. We would like to congratulate the O.P. side which beat the Lancing Old Boys. It was a very fine result as Lancing turned out a very strong side, and the Old Peterites were not at full strength, H. W. Burrows and R. G. Bullen being unable to play. Scores :N. W. D. Yardley beat J. R. C. Yglesias, 9-7, 9-7, 9-6. S. G. S. Pawle beat K. A. H. Read, 7-9, 8-10, 9--5, 10-8, 9-8. A. V.

Ebe Cross Country. The Annual Cross-Country race for the Oxford Plate was run over the same course as last year, on Tuesday, February 12th. Although the actual day was dry, and somewhat boisterous, the course was in a very slippery condition, owing to heavy rain during the days preceding the race. The runners set off promptly at 4-30 p.m., and the School House set a very fast pace down Burton Stone Lane, Boden and Hollway taking the lead. Across Bootham Stray the field opened out, and the leaders took up their positions, which they held throughout with very little change. Despite the bad conditions underfoot, the time for the race was only 52 seconds more than last year. An unusual feature was the two dead-heats. This year each House sent six representatives instead of five, and the first four home counted for points. Clifton Rise retained the Shield by the narrow margin of one point.
