Last Saturday a race took place in connection with, the above club between Captain's and Sub-Captain's teams, from headquarters, Fairhaven Institute, Seaview-road. A pack consisting of twelve runners negotiated a course of six miles in the neighbourhood of Leasowe fields, returning via Green-lane and Grove-road. At the end of Warren-drive the two teams were lined up for the "break" home along Hoseside and Seaview-road, which resulted in a win for the Captain's team by 7 points. The result is as follows, counting the first five men home :-
Captain's Team.-1, A. G. Nicholson; 2, H. Hanmer; 5, S. Plastow; 6, C. E. Woodroffe; 10, H. Ellison; total 24.
Sub-Captain's Team.-3, C. H. Spence; 4, J. J. Eivers; 7, W. G. Lace; 8, F. Mitchell; 9, H. S. Heald; total 31.
