FOOTBALL NOTES.
Several of our local football teams seem to be in the cave of Adultam, at least, I can find no other explanation for the postponement of the RE. match, the RO.C. match, and Kowloon playing for the greater part of the first half of their match with the Yarders with only eight players...
As for the Sappers, the only reason given by thons for failing to put in an sppearance was that they were unable to raise a team. It cannot be more than a fortnight ago since they played two teams against each other, so that to be unable
to raise a team would mean that about a dozon players were forced to call off at the last minute.

The playing with nine men for the first molety of Saturday's game had nothing to do with the defeat of the Kowloon team, as the interval arrived with the shores level; no. goals having been scored. With nine players the home team contented themselves with defending their citadel, and Foulkes had his work out out keeping his charge intact. With both teams at full strength in the second half an attempt was maile to open out the game, and Sollivan scored twice for the Yarders.

At the game time the two to nil defost reflected no discredit on the home team, sa s marked improvement all round was evident.

Nothing could be better in a team to make their play effective than that perfect under standing which existe between the Artillery combination! The two recent additions coE- tinned to keep up to the required standard, and now that the team is doing so well no further changes are likely to take place, Walts koeps adding to his gual aggregate, and is likely to give young Taylor a good run for top place before the season is much older.
Why the canine fraternity should take such a strong fancy to perading the Club Ground when matches are being played must remain a query. The fact that they do very often apsets the play, and in some casas the players, and I think the spectators are to a large extent to blame, as dogs do not as a rule go to football. matches unaccompanied.
The spectators seemed to enjoy seeing the referee being bowled over at the Club-R.G.A match on Saturday, but whether Barnfather himself enjoyed the joke was not quite apparent from the Preza box.
The second division match at Lyemu was the titbit of the afternoon, and although a draw was a satisfactory result the loss of the point reduces the chances of 83 Coy: in the competition.

"THE FEAST OF THE DEAD,
The annual pilgrimages to the cemeteries last Monday were more numerous this year then usual, in spite of the wet, cold, and foggy weather. La Toussaint, or the "Feast of the Dead," as it is also called by the French, is never allowed to pass unnoticed by the humblest or wealthiest. It is a sad day for one and all. It is estimated that this year no fewer than 20,000 mourners visited the Père Lachaise cemetery, carrying wreaths of artificial or real flowers. At the lowest estimate 100,000 francs one beautiful cemetery where so many illustrious worth of flowers was laid on the tombs in that dead have been laid to rest. The florists of Paris always rely upon the first two days of Novem ber as the most profitable in the year. No less than 300,000 francs' worth of chrysanthemums alone have been sold to Parisians to be
