Results In Scottish Cup Matches
London, Jan. 27. First-class football played in the British Isles to-day included Scottish Cup ties and a third division league encounter.
In the first round of the Scottish Cup, Hamilton visit- ed Moor Park and won by seven goals to one, while Murrayfield, playing at home to Morton were held to a, three-all draw. The remain- ing matches are being played on Saturday next.
In the English League game, Bristol City, at home to Bournemouth, won hand- somely by four goals to one. -Reuter,

taken the Seaforth High- landers are going to figure very importantly in next season's con- teat for the first division cham- pionship. This is looking rather a long way ahead, and suggests that so far as the present is con- cerned they do not amount to much. But that is not precisely intended. My impression yester- day in this match at Sookunpoo was that the Seaforths have yet to settle down to local conditions, but that when they have, they will occupy a position of no mean im- portance in the football league.

NIGHT BEFORE!
When the cold light of dawn is only matched by the cold eyes of a critical family, when the mind shrinks from the sticky sickliness of the marmalade and recoils from the bald beastliness of the hardboiled egg, then there is no doubt that the night before has been spent both unwisely and unwell.
But last night's foolishness may be coun- teracted by this morning's wisdom. A dash of Eno's Trult Salt, bubbling merrily in a glass of water, has a magic touch. It is hard to belleve that such a jolly drink can under- take such serious responsibilities. Yet Eno cleanses the system of clogging waste matter, and leaves the bloodstream vigorous and pure. Headache and nausea are charmed away and you see the world once more through/rosD- coloured glasses.
