The first goal of the match was noored by Roid, who got away on his own, passing the defence and putting the leather past Prettis into the corner of the goal net. Laughlin equalised by soaring with a magnificent drivo at long range. Fleming had hard lines with a header, but the interval arrived without further scoring.

Resuming, the men from the flagship were soon aggressive, and in an attack on the Flora territory, Reid was laid low in the penalty area. Roid took the kiek aud gave Prattis us

THE REAL CHINATOWN OF LONDON.

COMIC OPERA OPIUM DENS AND

GAMBLING ROOMS..

"China Town," which is hidden away in Limekoase, is frankly amused at its sudden discovery by the London County Council, says the London Daily Express.

John Chinaman has learnt with a chuckla

that the County Council has heard strange tales of gilded opium dens and "fan tan" gambling rooms, and proposes to abolish them all.

The beaming Calestials of Limehouse Canse way wonder if the "raundarins" of the Council realise that "China Town" is the greatest joke in all London.

It is really, as all good Chinamon know, a comic opera settlement, as quaint and proper as anything outside a pantomime, which is ran as a secret show" place for the benefit of curious

foreigners.

The Celestist, whose ways are peculiar and whom snilo is child-like and bland, has long learnt that Westernors love to be "shocked" So John has stage- with unfamiliar sights. managed it beautifully,
