8 THE ASHBURIAN Ottawa Cricket Club vs. Ashbury College On Saturday, May 4th we played our 1st match with the Ottawa Cricket Club on our own ground. The pitch was fast and rather jumpy. The Ottawas proved to be the stronger team and they beat us by 6 runs. Several members of the Ot- tawa Team were old English County Cricketers and were therefore quite at home with the bat. Ashbury was out for 58 runs of which Mr. Darnill made 14 in great style, but he was unfort- unately bowled by a shooting ball. Evans II and Hamilton both played well for Ashbury, the former hitting up 14 in a very short time. The scores were as follows: — Ottawa Cricket Club. Craige b Mr. Furnival 7 H. Larkins b Mr. Furnival... 3 P. H. Morris b Mr. Darnill 1 F. Campbell b Mr. Darnill 12 H. McDonald b Mr. Darnill 5 W. A. Powel c Grant b Hamilton 12 J. Race b Hamilton 3 Bogert b Hamilton 2 H.

The game proved very exciting and resulted in a win for the boys by ten runs. The latter thus created a new school record as this was the first time that the boys, playing without masters have succeeded in defeating their more experienced opponents. For the Parents, Messrs MacCaulay, Burstall, Evans showed good form with the bat and other members of the team played well. For the boys, Burstall made the top score, his hitting undoubtedly helped to win the match. The bowling of Hamil- ton and Gault I wa s very good, while Hutchinson did well in the second innings. After the match the Parents kindly enter- tained the boys at the Country Club. Speeches were made by the members of both teams, and a most enjoyable evening, much appreciated by the boys, was spent.
