The Edinburgh Marine Gardens team were able to withstand the challenge for the Intercity Cup made by White City Glasgow on 10 May, though their winning margin was very narrow. Machine troubles affected the home riders, particularly McQueen and McKenzie and the duty of stalling off the Glasgow challenge lay with Len Stewart and Syd Parsons. Accomplishing this well, they were unlucky during the remainder of the evening, being put out of court in the Handicap and Gold Sash races by mechanical defects. McKenzie was more fortunate. Making little show in the Intercity races he recovered form grandly later and won both the Handicap and Sash races, though it must be admitted that engine trouble among the other star riders greatly eased his task. Billy Galloway did not at any time during the evening display any of his old time daring. In the end he was the most unfortunate man of the evening. Coming down heavily on the top bend he got a nasty jar and was discovered to have broken a collar bone. The attendance was about 9000.
