I noticed in one New Zealand paper the other day that a bookseller, on being prosecuted for selling obscene books, protested that the spicy little stories he retailed were not half as lurid as some of Shakespearo's work which were nevertaken cansurol by their straight inced Government. Surely it's rather late in the day to haul up the Bard of Avon before the boak on a charge of' pernicious literature, but perhaps the Styginti hosts have already attended to the matter and it's just us well the press have not been informed for I'm afraid Victoria Cross, Hubert Wales and these latter day doctrinists would feel like wishing to become immortalized and escape their zentence,

All four fixtures set down for Saturday afternoon were completed; and the results were pretty much as expected. It was not anticipat ed that the AMC. would give the B.E. such a fight for the points, nor was it thought that the Y.M.C.A. would lot the Lusitano of by four goals only, but it was predicted that the Baffe would acl another seven to their goal total as they did, against the Boys Own Club. The Naval Yard wore perhaps a little batter value against the R.G.A. than the four-no- thing scoro would indicate.

to mil. It was a very poor exhibition of football, being in favour of the Y.M.C.A. from the start. and it was probably the fact of being able to gauge their opponents' quality which caused the Saints to play such a go-as-you-please game The defence of the Lusitanos was very weak, but Corveth in goal turned aside one or two good tries. In the forward line Baptisto and Antonio." were doing good work. On several occasions they succeeded in passing the Y.M.CA. defence, but the keeper held bis goal intact until the call of time. The men who played were:

THE LAW OF THE WEDDING PRESENT.
The recent dispute before the official Referee, in London, as to the ownership of certain wedding presents may be a useful warning to married people either not to quarrel, or, if they muist do so, to have a complete understanding as to their various possessions, and thus to save. lawyers' bills and the delays of litigation. Questions about wedding presents do not often come before our judges, but when they have done so the first thing asked in as to the intention of the givers. This will usually be shown since such presents are almost invariably made before marriage according as they are addressed

A fins run by the Yarders' left wing forced Beasley to a corner which was played well out into the fold and Glover eventually getting the leather to his too had a try at Beasley. This shot was well saved and Beasley caused no little amusement by getting out among the other players and charging some of them. Play was then rapidly transferred to the other end and Watts with a good individual run shot a goal which the goalkeeper had no chance to save. From the kick off the Tarders made no headway, and the Artillery forwards were down on the goal again,
