FOOTBALL UNDER THE ELECTRIC LIGHT – The novelty of a football match by the aid of electric light, combined with the fact that the competing teams were such keen rivals as the Celtic and Clyde, last evening attracted some five thousand spectators to Celtic Park, Glasgow. Football has been previously played at night under artificial lights, particularly at the Edinburgh and Glasgow Exhibitions, but this was the first match of the kind on a private field. Sixteen lamps are utilised to illuminate the playing pitch, the lights being hung from high pole erected inside the racing track, with a row suspended up the middle of the field. Last evening the atmosphere was foggy, and not very favourable to the experiment, but there appeared to be sufficient light for the players to follow every movement of the ball. A hard game ended in a draw of one goal each.
