Newport v. Newton: This return match was played on the Teign marshes at Newton on Saturday before only a moderate attendance. Newton was without Windsor, Donkin and Jackson, but the vacancies were filled by the inclusion of Taylor of Newton College, and Pinsent. Newport kicked off against the sun and wind … (description of game) … Positions being reversed Newton acted on the aggressive in which Taylor took a prominent part but Morris intercepting dribbled to the home territory, where a lot of scrambling play was witnessed. Pinsent was severely pressed but came through the ordeal in fine style until passing between Webbe and Jones resulted in the latter getting in. … Nothing further occurred, and the game thus ended in favour of Newport by a goal and two tries to one try.

Local News: On Monday a man named Hunt was taken to Newton Cottage Hospital for the purpose of having his arm amputated. He had suffered considerable pain for two or three weeks from blood poisoning, and the two or three medical gentlemen that had attended him saw that the only chance of saving his life was to amputate the arm, hence his removal to the Cottage Hospital. Death, however, terminated his sufferings before the operation was performed. He was a steady, industrious man, and had been for some years in the employ of Pinsent and Son to deliver coals. He leaves a widow and three young children.
