- Monday’s Scotsman reports that early on Saturday morning the Ulster Volunteer Force landed 25,000 rifles and 40 tons of ammunition at Antrim and Down from a steamer called the Mountjoy, which was in fact a mystery ship Fanny from Germany.

CELTIC V PARTICK THISTLE
At Celtic Park, Glasgow before 5,000 spectators.
The Celts were at full strength, and Thistle showed several changes from last week. The game opened in favour of the home lot, who were early round Campbell. Then the Thistle broke away, and Dodds, failing to clear a high ball, left Marshall in possession. The latter sent out to McIntryre, who returned the ball, and Marshall smartly beat Shaw.
The Celts replied strongly, and the Thistle were kept busy defending, Campbell saving well from McMaster and Johnstone. Occasional bursts away were made – by the Thistle forwards, and those were always dangerous. From one of them McIntyre almost beat Shaw with a beautiful shot. Following a hot attack on the visitor’s goal the Celts were awarded a penalty for Bulloch handling, but Dodds, who took the kick, sent the ball past.
The Celtic held the upper hand to the interval, but failed badly at goal.
On resuming the Celtic attacked strongly, but Adams and Bulloch defended stubbornly, and seldom was Campbell bothered. Following a long spell of pressure by the Celts Marshall broke away and rounding McNair gave Shaw a beauty to hold. The goalkeeper could only palm the ball out to McIntyre, who was presented with a great chance but shot weakly into the goalkeeper’s hands.
Towards the close the Celtic played desperately, and in a scrimmage in the Thistle’s goal McMenemy beat Campbell. Result:- One goal each.
