To-day both sides were in the same spirits and the short and quick strokes of the centre for- ward of the Wẹn York'e fäum attracted much alleation, West Yorks won by 3 goals to two. THE numerous, and elaborate expo-iments thai have been made la Germany in order to ascertain the best colour for warships have led to the conviction that the olive green, which is to be adopted by the Untied States Navy, in the best, because it renders the ships least visible to an enemy. The Americen experiments with the ter. pedo-bost Cushing and the rem Katahdin have shown that ships patated white are seen at grest distances, that the dark brown colour of the United States ships, dailog the isst yours of the Ciell War, was much better than'white, and that olive-green made detretion impossible at "more" than 700 yards.
