several good tries at the True Blues
goal, but Garside took care of every
thing. The Newark forwards showed a
lack of combination, and Cuthill could

The start Gilmour scored the Blues first

The Newarks tried hard to stem the
tide of defeat, but could not hold this
fast-going Blues, and Gilmour clappeo
on a third goal. This was followed by
a goal from Elliott, but he was de.
clared offside. At half time the score

FATHER ARNOULD
On Return From Bermudas Says ISL
snds Are Beauty Spot Of World.

'T think" said Father Arnould yes
terday, after his return from Bermuda,
that of all the countries that I have
visited, and have been in nearly all
the countries in the world, the Ber-
mudas are the loveliest.
About two months ago my physi-
clan told me that | needed a change
OF climate, and advised me TO go to
Bermuda, which | did, in company
with Charles +. Lang and his sister
when we arrived at the island we
found the flowers in full bloom, and
I think the sight was the most beauti-
full one that I have ever seen. The
temperature, as well, was elegant, the
thermometer ranging from 30 to "
degrees. There was but one day, how
ever, that II reached the 55 degree
mark, and that was the day of our ar
rival. The atmosphere, while warm,
Is not damp like so many OF the other
islands in the vicinity, but is dry and
more on the nature of June days IN
this part OF the country.
THE population Of the island is
about 1900, Of which II 900 are ne
groes. But they are nothing like the
negroes OF the United statees; namely,
they are polite. and well educated, as
the English government makes the
negro children attend school until they
can read, write and figure as well as
the white children OF the island. Aside
from having those redeeming quail
ties, they are well dressed and en-
ergetic, while the white people are
hospitality in themselves.
