London. April 1.

This was a touch-and-go match at Highbury for Arsenal, in spite of the fact that in the first hour they built up a three-goal lead,

They nearly lost the whole of the ground made because, quits suddenly, the team seemed to grow old, Younger, and much quicker, Wolverhampton" legs put a wor ried and wearied looking Arsonal defence to a severe test in the last thirty minutes.

The end came with Arsenal only one goal to the good and the Wolyps playing all the bright football. The losers were defi- tely-unlucky not to force a draw.

Yet Jack and James, the Scos particularly, were, in my opinion, the best Arsenal forwards. I at thinking of that first hour. They, aore than anyone sise, put the champions in a winning position.

In his reply, Colonel Bird sald: I thank you very much for the emarks you have just made and also I want to thank all ranks for he loyal support I have received and also for their constant assist. ance which have made my long service very pleasant one.

I have been, asked why I am giving up my command. Most of you may remember that last year. the Volunteers' ordinance was amended in certain "points to bring it into line with the Ter- ritorial regulations at Home. One of the amendments fixed. the re- tiring age limit, and the other stipulated the period of service as a Commandant to four years which could be extended by two further perlods of two years each.

I thank you all for turning out such numbers, and also the old members of the Corps. I hope that you will maintain the same keenness and eficiency under your new command.

In conclusion I wish to thank Ju for the" very handsome pre- sentation you have made.

Major Dowbiggin then called for three cheers which the men responded heartily, followed by the march-past after which the men dismissed.
