A pretty game was played by both sides, the Presbyterians failing to score mainly because of bad base running. Welsh twirled finely for the losing team, striking out 10 of the opposing batsmen, but received poor support from his in- field. Pruitt pitched we'll for West End striking out eight men. The feature of the game was the timely batting and base running of the West End team. The score by innings is as follows: R.H.E.

nor beneficial. and. further it is very
fattening. Instead he strongly recon-
mends for breakfast, porridge, fish. eggs
preserves and tea instead of the custo-
mary coffee and roll. Lunch should con-
sist OF plain dishes and fresh fruit. Five
o'clock tea he considers capital insti-
tuition. with sparing quantities of toast
and cakes. For dinner he would have
roast beef, mutton or lamb devoid of
sauces and ''kickShawS.'

French Naval Reform.
NJ. Picard, the new minister of marine.
is still pursuing his formidable task of
reorganizing the French navy. Next to
the army Frenchmen are proud of their
navy, and every one has a distinct i'm
preston that something must be forth
with done for 1t. Things cannot go on
as they are. Indeed. it would be better.
observes a commentator, to give up
having feet altogether than to persist
in the present lamentable errors"
On the same subject a prominent dep
uty, member Of the commission on the
navy, remarks: I'VE are at the parting
Of the ways. and there IL not a minute to
lose" He holds there must be no delay
or 1t will be too late to try to save the
navy by a complete reorganization in all
Its branches. II the prestige and value
of the navy be not revived France loses
one Of her means Of Defense and lowers
herself in the eyes of neighboring pow
ers.
So widespread is the feeling in France
to make any sacrifice rather than allow
the navy to be q disgrace to the country
that were 1t necessary a national SUBJ
scription could be started to provide M.
Picard with the millions he requires to
execute his work. If a tenth part of
what finds its way into print concerning
the navy be true, the condition Of things
must indeed be deplorable.
