It can enly be approiched over a bare open élope, and the ridges held by War- en areso steep that the guas cannot be placed upon them.

But we are shelling the enemy’s positioa with howitzers and field artillery placed on the lower ground behind the infantry. The enemy is replying with artillery. In this duel the advantage rests with us. We appear to be searching his trenches and his artillery fire ia not causing much loss. An attempt will be made tonight to seize Spioo Kop, salient of which forms the left of the enemy’s position facing Friech~ ards Drift, and which divides it from the position facing Polgieters Drift.

The first game called was between the .B.& A. and Diamonds, and the play throughout was fairly fast considering the ice. In the first half the Diamonds | scored ¢ yoals to their opponents 1, and in the second half both teams scored a goaieach, making the score—Diamonds, 6,B.&A,, 2.

No very brilliant work was done by either sides, Poor defence work on the part of the B. and A. was principally ree- ponsible for their losing so heavily.

and West Kent school team was by far the faeter game, the Abegwe'ts witning by 4 score of 4—3.

Mr. Harry Brehaut refereed both games.
