Paris, May 23: Many British hopes came. tam bling down during the week-end at the championship.. meeting Auteuil, but it was at least some comfort this afternoon to have Miss M. C.

BRAVE KEMPENFELDT-

These men, for the most part. one is glad--but not surprise-to know, were Englishmen. Brave Kempenfeldt," as far back as 1780, devised a code of signalling which was used in the Royal Navy for some years. He laid down certain rules regarding the colour-com- bination of the flags which are still observed; for instance, placing of red with blue was as much condemned as a bunting

composed of yellow and white.

the

But the nucleus of the modem. signal book is due to the creator of "Péter Simple.” Captain Marryat's code of 1817 was widely used by many nations at the be ginning of the nineteenth century, and may fairly claim to be the first international code. But his compliation of flags amounted to only Afteen pieces; which meant that the available number of sig- nals was limited to 9,000.

To-day there are over forty": though all the time McGrath was pieces, whose permutations allow skitfully cool and Turnbull's break-of every conceivable message to be flown, and room is left for fur- ther legends that may be evolved from time to time.
