... . LAST week saw the holding of the last of the migratory shows of the Royal Agricultural Society, which will next year settle down in its new home at Wembley. On this occasion the Royal clashed with Peterborough, rather to the disadvantage of the former. It was a pity, as one would have liked to see the old régime finish up with a success. The weather, too, was bad, the attendance wretched, ...

... . ALTHOUGH, in regard to inter-team play, Oxford University golf is less exciting in Michaelmas than in Lent, the club competitions decided during the present term arouse plenty of interest.
