Cricket is now in full swing, but the gunners do not sliine at the game; how¬ 
ever, in the past football season the company carried all before them in the 
Association game. There are two Challenge Cups competed for here every year 
open to all clubs in the Peninsula, and the company won them both, but only after 
a hard struggle with the “Black Watch 55 team in the final ties. The Challenge 
Cups, very handsome trophies, now adorn the dinner table in the Mess. 
The annual practice and the inspections for the year have just been completed, 
and 8 Company Southern have gained a first-class prize in the competitive. 
Lieut. Tancred, late Divisional-Adjutant of the R.A. here, is still at Buluwayo 
with the Bechuanaland Border Police, to which he was attached with the Maxim 
guns ; he is reported to have done very good work in the campaign. 
Major Morrieson has just been appointed to the command of the company, but 
has not yet joined.
