e football match,
referred
to yester-
day, between
a
team
from
the British
cruiser
Constance,
and
an
eleven
from
this
town,
was
played
on
the
Parade
Ground and
won by the former
by
three
goals
to none,
The
Christiansted
players
were
com-
posed
of eizht
men
from
the
Athletic
football club,
two from
the
Dreadnought
and
one
from
the
Native
Stars.
Borh
sides plaved well and but
for
the
excel-
lent goal-keeping,
the Englishmen
might
have
won
by
a
bigger
score.
A kand
from the ship discoursed
lively airs
dur-
ing the
game;
this
was
not
the
ship’s
regular
band,
which
is
understood
to
be disorganized,
but
a private
orchestra
promiscuously
mustered.
There
was
a
host
of spectators,
roughly
estimated
about 2,000 people
on
foot
and
in
cars.
On returning
to town
the
band
marched
in the erowd playing
and
halted
at Mr.
Mc Intosh’s
residence
where
arrange-
ment
had been
made
for entertaining
the
visitors.
They left for Frederiksted after
8
in the evening.
We understand
that
there
will be
no

lay
before
the
President

the present
deplorable
situa-

Secretary.
The meeting
lasted
about
an
hour,
the
various
speakers
being brief
and
to
the
point.
:
Notwithstanding
the diversity of opin-
jon on
other
matters,
those
present
at
yesterday’s
meeting
seemed
to
be
im-
bued
with one spirit,
and
the
harmoni-
ous
tone of the gathering clearly
demon-
strated
that at last
we are
united
in
the
.gigantic effort to save
our little
country.
The Congress
may
have
the
artificial,
man made right
to legislate;
but
above
that, is the natural right that
we
should
live in peace
in the land where
we
were
born.
:
We are
not begging
for
anything;
for
money
or
political advantages;
we
are
simply requesting
that
we be allowed
to
work for a livelihood.
{s that
too much
to ask,
and toexpect?
