This is Grayshott's third victory this year in the competition; and if they should be successful in their next match (with Lynchmere), they will become the holders of the Cup. At the conclusion of a pleasantly contested game, both teams sat down to an excellent supper, provided by the thoughtfulness and generosity of the President of the Grayshott Cricket Club (Mr. A. Ingham Whitaker), whose health was cordially proposed by the visiting Captain, and received with musical honours.
