The married gentlemen were enabled to win easily by the splendid form shown by Messrs. T. Oxley, H. J. Sharpe, and Marshall. The game was interesting throughout, and afforded amusement to a large number of spectators.
After the match a very well served and substantial meat tea was partaken of by a large number of persons in the large marquee which had been erected, and in the absence of Mr. Bedford, of Barnsley, with his goose, “ Ikey,” whose failure to put in an appearance was very disappointing, serious operations were commenced at an early hour by the holding of a public meeting and concert.
