The Sappers won the toss, and elected to defend the city and with their backs to the sun. Kicking off the sailors were ently agressive, and but for the sound defensive tactics of Coron and McCrory, would certainly have scored. As it was. AleBean had a good try to score; but McGregor was all there and only when the ball was put past was the pressure relieved. From the kick off Morrish and Meaney transferred play to the rival territory and passed to Jackson who sent the ball wide of the mark. The Engineers continued to press, Taylor and Morrish each trying to beat Tugwell, but the goalkeeper was in Cup tie form and would not be beaten. Fleming gave his forwards some good chances, and McBear from a pass best Edward's and Beardmore only to finish by again patting the ball on the wrong. axle of the post, Tugwell bad his hands full saving shots from Taylor and Meaney, and in treating the spectators to a little bit of gallery play, he was beaten by Morrish who caught the ball on the rebound and scored the first goal for the Army.

The play was transferred to the sailors goal by long pass from Marrish, and Taylor beating Carlisle on the ran soured the second goal for the sappers. The whistle sounded for half time with the score R.E.; 2; KA, 1.

THE CROWN AGENTS OFFICE.
A Parliamentary paper has been issued cou- taining the report of the Committee appointed last May to inquire into the best method of selecting the clerical and technical staff for the Office of the Crown Agents for the Colonias, and particularly to consider the conditions of tenure. the sale of payment of salaries and pensions, and how far arrangements in that Office are in accord or can be brought into harmony with the the Civil Service." Among principles governing the witnesses examined were Bir Henry Blake, Sir Frank Swettenham, Sir Robert Llewelyn, Sir Harry Wilson, and Sir Bradford Leslie, also some leading officials of the Colonial Ofos and the three present Crown Agents. The main fadings of the committee are contained in tho following three resolutions
