Controversy Over Local Cricket Attendance at New England Union
At the New England Cricket Union meeting, criticism arose that only six Armidale players joined the Kingstown team and one fewer with the Walch visitors. The president called the conduct a scanty courtesy, contrasting Armidale graders aligning with Tamworth players and the broader summer fate affecting Sir Tamworth partners.

False statement over tank capacity leads to fine in city court
Worth Kn James Cooper faced a city court for declaring a galvanised iron tank of 800 gallons capacity when it measured 86 gallons less. The inspector noted the false claim, the defendant admitted the size was not tested, and Flynn cited a £20 penalty for misrepresentation. He paid £2 8s and agreed to £0 5s 84d to return the tank. Cardinal Mercier dies at 64. Frog anecdote follows about hotel revelry and a Mark Twain reference.
