fore postal was received from the

ably could not come. A telegram
was Immediately sent, saying that
all arrangements had been made,
and that they must come if possible.
They answered that they could
come no earlier than by the mail
train, arriving here at 4.3O. A chal-
lenge was sent at once to play at
