In the country, the roads were badly blocked, and though no par- 'ticular hardships were experienced, and those who had to succeeded in getting through, the roads were much too heavy for general traffic.

The net result is that t e team is out a lot of money for hotel ex- penses, and the game at Palmerston is still unplayed. As both Durham and Palmerston are definitely out of the O. H.
