Redruth v. Naval Harlequins: There was another large crowd present at the Recreation Ground, Redruth, on Saturday to witness a match between the home team and Naval Harlequins. With the exception that Knight and Williams took the places of forwards Davey and Menhennett, the homesters were at full strength. The visitors also were strongly represented, and winning the toss, they elected to play up the slope. Redruth at once attacked, and a try by B. Solomon was scored within one minute from the kick-off, after a clever bout of passing by the backs. A short spell of even play followed, until at length B. Solomon again got clear; but was pulled down by Pinsent. Keeping up a hot pressure, homesters quickly added to the score. After a clever bout of passing, in which Williams, J. Solomon, Carbis, and Davey took part, the latter crossed with a second unconverted try. This was soon followed by a third by Carbis. Vigorous forward play by the Quins, gained considerable ground, but Job cleared, and a dribble the home forwards terminated in Roskrow scoring an unconverted try. Lawry at this stage retired with a damaged eye; but resumed later. The Quins were once more prominent in forward play; but they were really never allowed to become dangerous, and ere long Redruth were again attacking, and scored through tricky run by Williams. Carbis quickly added a sixth try, and the score at the interval was: Redruth: Six tries; Harlequins: Nil: Redruth on resumption soon settled down to aggressive play but a promising movement was spoiled through an infringement. Hisbent made kick to kick a goal from a place kick, and B. Solomon recovering, found touch at mid-field. From here, play was transferred to the visitor’s line and an excellent round of passing ensued, which was terminated in Job being pulled down near the corner flag. The homesters were not to be denied, however and scored after a tricky run. The Quins forwards rushed down the field, and for a little while made desperate efforts to cross. Job at length cleared, and B. Solomon picking up the loose, scored after a brilliant run, his brother converting. The same player carried in two further tries and Carbis one, Redruth thus winning decisively. The final score: Redruth, 2 goals 9 tries (37 points): Harlequins, Nil: Referee Mr. Osberg, Falmouth.

City Voluntary Schools: Alleged Attack by Board of Education: Grievance Discussed: the Birmingham Education Committee met yesterday at the Council House for the first time since the holidays, Mr. G. H. Kenrick (chairman) presiding. … … Mrs. Pinsent in moving the adoption of the report of the Special Schools Sub-Committee, referred to the new regulations issued by the Board of Education with regard to Special Schools. She hoped the new regulations were a sign that it was recognised that they had to deal with the total number of defectives in the country, and not a small percentage. It would be necessary however, for them to try by every means in their power to make the education of these defective children as economical as possible. Hitherto they had been unable to remove large numbers of defective children from the infant schools where they were a good deal of trouble both the scholars and teachers and did no good. The report was approved.
