ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.
The most interesting match in today's 23.00 programme is that between the Royal 20:00 Engineers and the Navy, which taken 10.00, place on the Military ground. These 1,015.57 teams have not met before this season, 31.70 and provided they are bath at full strength, a very Bae contest should be 16:35 witnessed. Last week the sappers were

The game between the R.G.A. and South 5.00 China Athletic will probably be booked 100.00 in advance" by most people as a win for 95.00 the Athletic. This result is not, however,

The pick of the second division gamer will be that between the Staff and De- 20.00 partments and St. Joseph's College. The 20.00 former team has very much improved. 20.00 while the latter has not yet lost a match 20.00
this season, and shaped particularly well 30.75 last Saturday against the 88th Company. Both have visions of topping the league this 150.00 senson, so that a hard struggle is certain, with the result very open. If the college men win they will establish themselves very comfortably at the head of the league table, with a couple of games 7.84 in hand.

They should few more to such organs of the Press as are not afraid to avow boldly their patriotic standpoint, and pursue a vigorous policy in domestic affairs without scru tinising anxiously the effect in foreign countries or trying to fatter the instincts of the masses."
This is plain enough; papers which do not share the “patriotic opinion of the cosiowners and iron masters should have no advertisements: but those which are in favour, eg., of the annexation of the Briey district should be subsidised in the form of well-paid advertisements.
