Montreal vs. Ottawa.
This return match was played by telegraph on Saturday afternoon and evening. Play began at 3 o'clock and ended shortly after midnight. Arrangements had been made for ten men a side, but Mr. Andrews, one of the Ottawa players, was absent through illness, and as his Club did not provide a substitute, this game went by default. Of the five games actually played to a conclusion, four ended in draws, and one was won for Montreal by Mr. Palmerston Barry. Four games were left for adjudication. Messrs. Davies and V. Barry have clear won games for Montreal, and Mr. Hall one for Ottawa. That between Messrs. Wilson and Falconer will probably be counted a draw. This would make the score Montreal, 6; Ottawa, 4.
