OTTAWA WIN STANLEY CUP Defeat Seattle in Final Game by Score of 6 to 1. Toronto, April 3.--In the final game for the Stanley hockey cup, played here Thursday night, Ottawa defeated Seattle by a score of 6 to 1 tal. For two and one-half periods Ot- tawa lined up a three and four-man defence and let Seattle bang them- selves all out of breath, témper and strength against it. Then, when they had them so weakened they could scarcely wobble on. their skates, the Senators began to show a little life, and in the last period slapped in five goals. Seattle simply battered them- selves to death trying to find a hol® in that defence in the first forty minutes, and Ottawa let them batter. It was not an exciting game, It was scientific, but not thrilling hockey. From the first gong until after nine minutes of play in the third period, when they sécured a two-goal lead, the Senators played safe. They put all their attention on keeping the visitors out, sitting tight waiting for the turn in the luck which would give them the edge, Eventually every- thing turned out exactly as they had planned. . .

London, April 3,--The Home Rule Bill is far from satisfactory, but it is a good start toward the final settle- ament of the problem, the London newspapers conclude in their editor- ials. "This bill is an attempt to settle the' trouble," said the Evening Star, "and none of its opponents could suggest a better one. Perhaps the north and south of Ireland will re- fuse to unite for the good, of the Ire- land they love, but that is not the fault of England." The Evening Standard criticizes the attitude of H. H. Asquith and en- dorses Sir Edward Carson's. "Lloyd George recognizes that the real trouble has been lack of sym- pathy between the Irish people and their Government," the Standard says: "Is not that an argument for bringing the people and the Govern- ment closer together, as this bill seaks to do?" 'Phe bill shows the overwhelming weight of political good judgment," says the Pall Mall Gazette. "We are convinced of the soundness of the plan, and «it is significant that Ul- ster's consent has finally been won to a measure giving Ireland a chance to reconcile self-government with unity."

Time was when it seemed as though half of the population of Toronto and Montreal and other prosperous Eastern' Canadian cities was to be found here in New York at Easter time.

Thous- ands took advantage of the cheap rate to run dewn over the Baster holidays, see a couple of Broadway shows, participate in the Easter par- ade, purchase an assortment of cloths ing and return home with the last, skilfully camouflaging it when the Canadian customs' officials went through the train.
