The Town Silver Band took advantage of the holiday by arranging two whist drives and dances in aid of the new instrument fund. Both proved successful.

On Monday there was again an excellent company present, when whist prizes went to the following:

Ladies - 1 Mrs Bishop, 2 Mrs Dray, 3 Miss Hatchett.

Gents - 1 Mr J. Wornham, 2 Mr S. Dowler, 3 Mr S. Smith.

Lucky ticket, Mr Humbly.

Spot dance winners - Miss M. Cornwell and Mr P. Wright.

Mr T. Wornham ably carried out the duties of M.C. at both events.

Anstey v. Wyddiall

A match between the above teams was played at Wyddiall on Saturday last, May 14th, resulting in an easy win for the home team by 48 runs.

Anstey batted first, and were quickly dismissed for a 42 - F. Phillips (not out 11) and "Mr Extras" (10) being the only double-figured totals. S. Pledger took 4 wickets for 14 runs, and H. Pledger 3 for 9.

On Wyddiall going in to bat, the result hung in the balance until after the fall of the sixth wicket (which fell at 33 runs), but after that H. May (25) and R. Reed (18) put the result beyond doubt, Wyddiall winning as stated. E. Bonfield also made a capital 16 when runs were badly needed.

Wyddiall v. Mr T. Pledger's XI

A match between these teams was played on Saturday last, Wyddiall winning by an innings and 50 runs.

Mr Pledger's XI batted first, and were quickly dismissed for 27 runs, Cooze being the only batsman to reach double figures. Cooze, however, was rather lucky - being bowled with a no-ball the first ball he received.

Wyddiall very promptly passed their opponents score, and after making 100 runs for 6 wickets declared their innings closed.

With 73 runs to get to avoid an inning's defeat, Mr Pledger's XI fared even worse than at their first attempt, scoring only 23.
