Border devotees of the robust game of rugby are keenly interested in the new club which has been formed at St Boswells. and are hoping that will meet with success. Those who are behind it are out and out enthusiasts; and they have been getting a move on. The committee responsible for the season's arrangements have already fixed over a dozen matches, with the expectation few more. The Earl of Dalkeith has been elected president; subject to his consent; while the captain Mr J. M. Smith of Thornielaw and the vice-captain Mr Allan Mitchell. The Club are indebted Messrs A. and J. B. Turnbull of Kelso for the gift of goalposts, for which the members have expressed gratitude; and Mr. Fairbairn has granted the use a field, with an entrance off "Jenny Moore's Lane."
