I he snail and the rabbit and of how the snail won because he kept on plugging while the rabbit who could really run knew it and got over confident and lost the race because he disdained his opponents The moral is just keep on plugging The weather was cold arid disagree able and many errors was the re sult Nevertheless the game was good and snappy all I tie way through and the fans got the worth of their money This was the second game of the second half and I would remind the players of the various teams thai another five dollar gold piece is up for competition in this half very generously
