Tbe North Adelaide) appeared to sreb Into form at the btgiuring ot the eeason much more quickly than an> of the other teams, and they went of! with eueh a lead of wins that their ooaooe of getting the coveted premiership eeemed very rotrj'. Their victorious career contained the first check at the bands of tbe Kniphtsbridjje dub, and then in the last match againct the Eqoaws tbe Norths went down ratoer badly, the premiers baviog rather the whip buid throoghout the game-Tbe Siorth Adelaiaes have thrown 03 goals, as compared with 15 tflnown by their opponent, the principal fcoilthrowere beiog A Bowley 17, o.

Tbe Norths bad the great mistorrone to lose the valuable services of Acraman and Eowley in the later matches of the season, and the fact of these two pl?y«s being absent must have had a very substantial effect on tbe dual result The Enlgntsbridge dab holds fourth place on the MoriJ>cl>st Tte *fasa ha? thrown 32 soak again?t S3 goals thrown by vaeir opponents, toe principal goalthrovrers being G.
