Portland Football Club and eleven from Weymouth wee
played on Saturday last at the Naval Cadsta' Ground, and
resulted in a victory for Portland by two goals to nothing.
The play of young Mr. Patten and of Mr. Westland was

Mr. Bocknell. local superintendent, Weymouth; and
Mr. Parsons, joint superMteodeat. The Colonel examined
C. ACourt, driver of the train that ran into the carriage;
B. Maul-ell, guard of the same; R. Tomlinson, oary
amount of his experience with the brakrand
Cardßicrards, switchman. The trail was brought over
and minutely inspected by Colonel Tolland, the brake
was tried, and although the connecting rod wee vy
much bent and • collar broken, yet we believe it will
not be disputed that it worked and affected the tram. A
report will be made by Colonel Tolland to the Board of
Trade.
