Prrviously In the afternoon a well attended public meettns was ^jM.--^V% Field and was addressed by ffr^imwl^ McBrtdo, Hon. W. J. Bowser. Hoa,', aSj' Taylor, Mr. Parson and Mr. Uardid Foster. Mr. Parson said for two terms he had served the riding faithfully and could look with a clear conscience on all his acllons and if nominated he expected to represent them aqaln.

Mr. Forsier said he could not hope to capture the convention so would run .^9 sn Ji^depRnrlf^ni: candidate and support Premier McBride. and if elect- ed give everyone ?< ; xtjuai'tt deal.

Hon. Mr. Taylor testified tliat Mr. Parson had done good work in secur-' ing- public works for his coiistltuenoy and dealt with ' the work of his depart- ment generally, dwelling on the roads constructca in Qolumbia riding.

Hon. W. J. Bowser dealt effectively with the general policy of the govern- ment and created a great amount of amusement by his description of the liberal platform. He was sorry to hear Mr. JTorster say he would run regard- less of the convention. He thought that any man appealing to the party should submit himself to the conven- tion and abide by the result. If the district did not return the party can- didate there would be a vacant place in the government caucus and this would not look satisfactory with the government.

. The nr»>"i».v. •who-waa «lven. a rous-l ing reception, said he had been mainly responsible for bringing about party government which liad given the prov- incje the stability it never had before. In Mr. Parson, Columbia had an able representative and he would be un- gr«^ieful If he did not ask them again !,, Mii.port him. The government could i.Mt . properly organiiMunieflr there was unanimity In the ranks. If Mr. Parson was the choice of the conven- tion he should have the votes of the riding; if Mr. Forster was nominated the same remark would apply to him. "For my part," he added, "as long as I am your leader, I am determined to keep the Conservative party together.

Referring to labor questions the pre- mier said he could never hope to please the Socialists and did not Intend try- ing to follow their Ideals and to at- tempt to bring about conditions incom- patlble with the surroundings would be absurd. But the government , had ap- pointed a commission to find out ^hat was practical and wise, and' would leg- islate along these lines.

The announcement of the abollUon of the poll tax next session was greet- ed with loud appK'iuse. He pictured the conditions to be brought about by the completion of Panama canal and said the government's railway policy was framed In preparation for it. The meet- ing closed with cheers for all the epeaUers.

"That the worUlngmcn's compensa- tion act be placed in the hands of the

this commission to collect a definite amount from the mining companies based on the monthly payroll and pro- portionate to the risk Incident to the business. That the amount should be contributed by the employers and should not be collected directly or In- directly from the employees. That the dLstrlbutloh of the fund should be in the exclusive control of the comrals- slon,'^;^fiubject to no appeal In the or- dtnar'y courts. That there shOirid be no liability except under the act, all com- mon law liability being txcluded."

Consideration was aiso recommended of the principles of the workmen's compensation act of the state of Wash- ington, also the New Zealand act. with the Russian schedule of payments and the Norwegian classification.

Dr. A. K. Barlow of Montreal suc- ceeds Dr. Frank Adams as president of the institute. The new president was formerly connected with the geological survey of the Federal government. His unsuccessful competitor for office was Mr. G. G. a. Llndsey, of Toronto. Four hundred and forty votes were cast for the presidency, showing that much In- terest was centered In the election. The other officers of the Institute for 1912 were^ elected some weeks ago, those nominated all being elected by acclamation.

CHIHUAHUA. Mexico, Nov. 8. — The vanguard of the Insurrecto army mobil- ized here, and departed for the south In two trains today.

Six bridges between htro and Jlmlnez are being replaced by the troops as they proceed, and It la tliought that the trip will require at least two days.

There are about 600 men In the de- tiichment. This leaves a 1,000 men here, but General Pascual Grozco, says that recruits arc coming to him In crowds.

At the opening of the discussion on the Manitoba Bill today Mr. Mondou moved the following resolution:

"Nothing m this Act shall prejudicial- ly affect the rights of the minority of Bomap Catholics or Protestants with regard to schools in the territory now anntxed to Manitoba, wliate' may be."

In concUislon Mr. Mondou spo' Sir Wilfrid; Laurler's silence. Hart been able to place this question above the level of party, had he done some- thing besides remaining behind the lines of "Torres Vedras," had he done some- thing besides calling on his friends to follow his white plum'' bo wnulri l-nvc triumphed.

Mr. Alkens said thai the anK.iulrnen' would make parliament admit tliat school rights existed. More.over, If it were passed the govtr.iinont of Manitoba would be unable to pass any act what- ever with regai-d to education, for any legislation would affect their rights in one way or another. When Mr. Aiken s finished his speech the amendment was put. There were cries of "Lost" and "Carried," fotar members only, Messrs. Mondou, GuUbauU, Bellemare and La- marche standing up to demand the ac- tual vote. The requisite number of five was not obtained and the amendment Was declared lost.

Ml". OlI^*''' followed with an ameml- ment to substitute for the allowance In lieu of the lands the offer made by tht; Laurler Government in March 1311. Mr. Rogers replied that this offer has already been rejected by the Mani- toba legislature. After some further debate Mr. Borden spoke and the amend- mtnt was declared lost. After some clerical errors had been amended the bill was reported from committee. The third reading is set r"or Tuesday. The house then went Into supply.

Mr. C. E. Tisdale was welcomed by the entire convention rising and sing- ing. "For he's a .lolly good fellow.' He referred to the record of the gov- ernment during its terms of office and pointed out that every great measure undertaken by the McBride adn>lni»- tration had redounded to the ptoKres>s of the province and the material hetie- llt of the people. In the - encourage- ment of legitimate enterprise, or the betterment of the condition of all sec- tions of the people, both by education and by remedial legislation the gov- ernment had proved itself worthy of the confidence of the electorate. Thl9 year there were $500,000 in the estim- ates for public schools alone and an- r.M- - -subsidy squally large liad been o for the university. The gov- uiunent prided itself that the uniyor- .sity In B. C. would be second to tionfi in the r>ominlon. It hoped to make St on a par with the great schools of learning In Toronto and Montreal.

When you consider that only eight per cent of the available land In Manitoba, t>a.skatchewan and Allierta is under cul- tivation, and even at iliat was able to make a blockade on llie eastern linen that lasted tmtU February, you must realize what It will mean to the Pa- clcfl Coast, and more especially to the city of Victoria, frhen the Other nlnotj'- two per cent of the land is under cul- tivation and the major portion of tho wheat is coming through the Pacific outlet as it must Inevitably do, to the markets of the world.

The speaker went on to describe the plans of Mr. Costs and their Inevitable effect upon the commercial Interests of the city; after which he said: "The Dominion of Canada is very large and thore are many demands upon the public treasurj', and therefore you may rest assured that unless the ministers were thoroughly convinced ^ns

Of course I would point out to you that we must creep before we walk, and I would say that It in largely with the final conatruc- lif,n or the bridge In view that Mr. McBrlde and his government have gone to work and subsidised the rall- wa>s to that point, or to a point In close proximity to whore the bridge must eventually link up the Island with the Mainland. Before long I am convinced that we will sec a railway coming flown Bute Inlet, which will then more than bring it within the realms of possibility to have the bridge built in order to bring the freight cars from the northwest to this cHy, from where they can be ahlppod'tn any other port In the world.

Mr. G. Davldnon occupied the chair and explained the object of the meet- ing and then called upon Mr. Sidney Williams to produce a pUri of the pro- posed route, showing an extension of tills from the south aide of Mr. R. Mc- Rac's property at which point the most northerly subdlvlsl-jn termb : i «"s. lie also said that the '"'^'^1 w.^ulo be per- fectly straight over the entire distance. From the Fcltliam road, whtcli Is prac- tically the summit, tne location Is de- nectcd to strike the oid at-ano monument at Mount Douglas park. This portion follows the creek flowing into Cordova Bay and Is likewise quite even and straight. Ho also showed the advsntages ot this location as a thorough •'a r.- 'ind carllne, also the U8».fulnes8 as a main artery for sewer and water purposes,

Mr. McRao voiced the general fee'..ng«i of the meeting by stating that he hoped this thoroughfare would be made 100 feet wide.

Mr. Bresvster is quoted as saying that the holders of timber licences control $214,000,000 worth of the best timber in the Province. We do not know how the Liberal' leader arrived at this valuation, but possibly he i« right. We certainly hope he is. Bui it is not true as is alleged that they are paying for this timber at tho rat..-^ of 81,800,000 a year. They are paying that very handsome sum of money for the privilege of controlling this tim- ber a."' long as they pay tlie fee, Hnd the Legislature can make them pay more wh.'nevrr it see-? fit.

While working' at the bottom of a deep well, a mason named Maccacaro. was burled aUve through the falling: In of the i^edes. His son, who had just managed to escape upon hie father's peremptory orders ai; soon as the dan- ger became apparent, ran Off to the barracks to raise an alarm. The res- cuers, buoyed up with but small .hopes of reaching the victim alive, were obliged to excavate k species of am- phUheatre to a depth of 40 feet. In the i process no less th'art 3,000 cubic metres of ."loIl and bone wan remov<-d; in other worils, as much debris as a Rung ot 20 | diggers would normally excavate In a I couple of months' har<l work.

The rescue corps liad got well into tlielr fourtli day's exertions before Mac- cacara was unearthed, uucOMbcIoum and half frozen, beneath a heap of fallen scaffolding, which had chanced to form an archwork 'over bis bruised and pros- trate body, and so save his life.

Sick Mariners' Sues— Some months ag(» the "board of trade sent a letter to Mr. G. II. Barnard, M. P., relative to the collection of sick mariners' dues in this province, and a reply was to the effect that some relief had been granted In the respect to round-the-world freighters, such as the Blu^ Funnel liners. Tho collection of such dues had until recently been made oh the first three calls uU such vessels during the year, with the result that at least, two payments and frequently three had been collected with- in a few weeks, and the vessels would disappear from these waters for many months. It la now ordered that such vessels make only one payment each voy- age.

Telephone Co. was sum- monsed yesterday at 'the Oak Bay police court chargfcd with havlnsr conducted blasting operations on February 2Cth, In tho municipality without having obtain- ed the necessary permit in writing, from the atithorltles. A superior officer of th.-. company appeared on his behalf, and pleaded that the man summonsed was In no way responsible for tho obtaining of the permit, but was acting under the Instructions of a foreman whom he had no reason to believe had not obtained the permit, and tho magistrate, Mr. Henderson accepted the plea and dis- missed the case. 7"^** blasting was car- ried out on the corner of Newport avenue and James street In puttlns in a telephone pole.

dregory, J.: This la a petition for divorce brought by the wife against her husband on the ground of cruelty and adultery. It does not appear to me that either charge has been aatls- laotorily proved, nor that the allega- tion of cruelty has been properly made in the petition.

The respondent is entitled to know tlie charges that he Is expected to meet. The cruelty charged should be Bucjv as would cause danger to life, limb or health, bodily or mental, or a reasonable apprehension Of it: Rusr- sell V. Russell. L. B. (1895) P.

Apart from the allegations tn the petition, the evidence offered, in. sup- port is exceedingly general and vagUe.

Aii to the question of adiiltery, it Is the practice of coiirts to reauire corr roboratlon of an admission by the guilty party unless the admission la entirely free from suspicion .

In Robinson V. Robinson & Lane (1858) 1 Svy. & Tr. atmp. 398. Cock- burn, (1- J J. says :

'•The admission

These remarks of Cockburn C. J. are referred to in Williams v. Williams & 'Banflcld (1865) L.. R. 1 P. & D., 29.

The case of Maxwell's divorce bill (1911) W. N. 220 referred to by Mr. Maclean, is meagrely reported, tout the letter accepted by the House of Lords as evidence of adultery ' was evidently more definite and explicit than the one here, and it is quite con- .slstent with the report of that case that there was also some evidence of

corroboration.

The evidence of adultery relied on by the petitioner Is a letter from the respondent and the petitioner's oath that one day on her husband's return from town (presumably after an absence of Ifsa tha,n<)no^day) she "accused him of having, beeli away with other women, and he said yes he had, and he, did not see any reason why he should not. Ke scld, it Is quite allowable for a man to do that sort of thing." This Is a very eciuivocal statement, and may mean many discreditable things short of an admission of adultery, nnd I cannot accept it In any way as an adinlssloh of adultery. It l.s suspicious, but sus- picion Is not sufficient, and I have no right. In the absence of other circum- stances,- to allow that suspicion to control my mind while Interpreting the language actually used.

The letter goes further, it says: "No, I will not live with you any longer, you have found out I have been unfaithful and prefer being with Flo." In the statement of the petitioner and the quotation from the letter I have, I believe, set out every word of evi- dence offered to support the charge of adultery. To accept It as sufficient would I think be to entirely dLsregaril the language of Chief Justice Cock- burn that an uncorroborated ndmlsslon should be received with the utmost circumspection and caution. The sug- gestion of counsel Is that the respon- dent was openly living with another woman, but the petitioner gives no evidence of It; she does not even pledge her own oath that there Is such a woman as "Flo" referred to In the IfittAT. The letter says the petitioner has found out respondent's unfaithful- ness, but she herself tells the court nothing of this. The community In which the parties lived Is small, and If the fact were so, there should be no difficulty In showing that the respon-

of counsel to give- the Court every assistance, and prepare tJielr cases even more carefully than when they know they are to be defended.

Sir — A word of correction anent the Identity of Mrs. Robert Mantell. wife of the Shakespearean actor.

In a dramatic review of the recent ManteU engagement In today's paper. .Mrs..,M#nteU's.profesalpnal name was given as Gfenevleve Hamper, which is Incorrect.

She Is Miss Marie Booth Russell, niece of the late Edwin Booth, and Is one of the most prominent members of the American theatrical profession. Since 4ier marriage to 'Mr. Mantell In 1900, she has acted as his leading •woman when her hfnUh ha« pernaitted. Your.'; ;, . ,. ., MK.., ;,. D. KEJLLrY.

Oak Bay Bylaws

Sir— With your kmd permission I should like through your columns to a'iik the ratepayers of Oak' Bay Munici- pality to record their votes on Satur- day, the day of this Issue, In favor of the bylaws which are submitted for their approval.

The first bylaw asks rm- $275,000 for the extension of the l-b system,

and the secon ' •■' ■• » . i^ur the ex-

ieii«*i6ii-"orrt''' '''^. ■"--•-.;"■-■"''';:"•■'"

The former proviacs tor Oak Bay's share of the main trunk Inter- munici- pal sewer from the municipal boun- dary on Cadboro Bay Road to the point of discharge at Bold Point, Shoal Bay (i.e.. Oak Bay's share Is estimated at about 565.000, the city undertaking to pay as their share an additional $65,000), and a practically complete sewerage system connected therewith. The system as outlined will provide for the whole of the municipality, less the Upland Farm District, which is under agreement tQ,^ook after, Its own sewerage.

Any other system, as for Instance the one that was proposed last year, discharging at the mouth of Bowker Creek, would have onrj' served a small part of the district, whereas the one now contemplated will serve the whole of It. , ■

These works arf at>soluj:e1y essential for the health of the district.

The sum required for water mains is to be expended In additions and ex- tensions to the present system.

T earnestly hope that those liavlhg votes In Oak Bay will take the trouble to vote for these bylaws. We have no reason to suppotja that there Is any opposition to them, but at the same time we know from experience of the city how often bylaws of real advan- tage fall to pass merely from the fact that ratepayers do not take the trouble to support them. We hope this win not, happen In Oak Bay. Yours truly,

W. E. OLIVER, Reeve of Oak Bay MurHcipallty.

At the flirst hearing of the case o.

Clayton asserted that he waa suffering from tentporary aberration at the time of the offence preferred against him an4- was not therefore re- sponsible for ils actions. It wass^own also at the previous hearing of the case that on the same night as he entered the St. Georges Inn and wrought havoc among the furniture and dismay among the lodgers, he had opened an assault upon the watchman at the Phoenix brewery whom he had encoumtered earlier In the evening, for which particular offence he was also arraigned In the police court and sentenced to six months 'Imprison- ment, which term he Is working at now.

At a meeting of the executive of the Daughters of Empire held yesterday a resolution was passed strongly endors- ing Mayor Beckwlth's action In exercis- ing aupervKslon over public perform- ances In the city and restricting thern where they were considered unnecessary and likely to have an unwholesome in- nuence on children. This question of supervision has been under considera- tion for some time past by the women's societies in the clt.v. as It has been brought to the attention of the mem- bers that performances, not fit for chil- dren to see, have been glvpn In (ho city during recent months.

Continuation Sohool» A ffood many boys In Victoria leave school at the age of fourteen. They go to learn trades or take positions In titores of ofnces. Some of them spt-nd a short time as mesaage boys. The num- ber of girls who leave school a* so young an age Is smaller. Fifty years ago It was a common thing for Inds to be- gin their life's work on the farm or In thp city even younger. No one will con- tend that a tjoy is t-Uocated at fourteen, lie mnv havo it oetved an excellent Broui ^ -•iome-

citizen. Many lads who leave school young know very little. Either they are slow at lessons or have not attended school regularly. Whatev« r the reason may be, such a boy has fallen behind his clapsmat'?.^ and school has become dista.stoful to him. In large cities whtre education Is not compulsory, there are many thousands of such lads. I'or their sakes night schools have been established. It Is ihtertstlhg to learn that after a trial of tblrty years In New York night schools for i(?orking boys and pirls under sixteen have betn pronounc- ed a failure. Dr. Maxwell In hla report Bays of the 89,000 children registered in the elementary nlSbt schools.

They do not recognize the use of the lessons In rtttding, history, and arithmetic. What the teacher presents Is without special interest for them. They approach their studlts without energy, and consequent- ly without proftt. Under these condition!" there need be little wonder that the ele- mentary evening schools -are not more successful than they are. The won^^r is that tht attendance and interest are not worse.

'After observing and studying these schools for thirty year.", T am now con- vinced that the attempt to give Instruc- tion in the ordinary elementary branches In the evcnlMK to boys and glrla from fourteen to sixteen years of age is a KLgantlc blunder. Those who are em- ployed dhrlng the day need the evening for exercise and recreation. Only those v.ho art endowed with unusual physical .strength and unusual mental energy can. after a hard day's work, attend school four evenings a week and benellt there- by. That thfcy need tn.«!truclion. for their own sakes and for the sake of the community, goes without saying. How and when are they to got It? It has been demonstrated ovtr and over again that they do not get It advantageously when the school-time Is taken out of their lime for recreation — the evening hours." It Is propo.sed to sube(tlt<ite for the night-study, continuation BCiiools, where the employer will allow the children a certain number of hours a week to con- tinue their education. It is believed that lie wi"l benefit by this from the more in- telligent work the young pt.ople will do. it Is pointed out by crltiep that unless the teaching is specially suited to these children they will bcntflt a.« little as thfv formerly die! In the nicht schools. Their thoiiglits have been directed Into other chfinne's and books havu lost Iheir hold upon thtm. The case Is quite dif- ferent with ttie young men and women who have voluntary taken up courses of Ptiidy after working hours. They profit hy the n'.K'ht schools to a very full ex- tent. Tin solutlcm of the problom of the younger children seems, It Is said, to He in the estnbllshment of trade schools In which thev will see the utility of what thty an tau(?lit.

ent good "there may be in them, and to turn them loose on society when their prison terms have expired, niled with hatred for society and a desire for revenge, and usuany a pretty good education In th» ways of attaining that revenge— an education gained Inside our prison walls, too. And so the real- ly surprizing thing Is that we havent tried the other method long ago, mere- I V as an experiment that might prove a big saving to society. If for no other reason!.

That's' What Baker thought. And when he took charge of the prison with full power to run it the way he pleased, and with the backing ^t^°\-}\/.-^ Odle. he tried the other way. And It Is working."

Lacrosse Club threatens to make trouble for the Western players who liave been signed and who now refuse to come Eaat. According to an official of the Toruntos the cases may I'e taken Into the courts- "Some of tUe Western pU.vers we have signed are MOW trying to evade their contract ob- ligations," stated the official tocUy, "but the matter Is giving us no con- cern ami we have no doubt but that they win all be on hand when the time comes for npriug i)itt«U<-c. We don't blame the players a), all, but appieulalo the fact that tremendou."} presauro must have been brought to bear on them from New Westminster and Vancouver. We should not like to have to go into court over these con- tracts, but It may .be thav the Toronto .Street Railway Company knows a little more about courts and lawsuits than about lacrosse, so it would be amid more famlllaf surroundings there."

"We certainly claim to know what a contract means," continued the offi- cial, "and have some idea about draw- ing up a document that Is f«;gal. We trust it won't be necessary to call In courts to settle the matter and believe that every contracted player

Bobby Howe played the best game for the. losers, and showed rare form from beginning to end. Bobby Is a clever stick handler and If the others on the' local teOm oould place their shots even half as well as this little wing man, the score at tho end of the game might very often be more in their favor. Skinner Poulin worked just as hard as ever, and more than once showed his real calibre by con- tinuing the play after going down in soma hard mix-ups, resulting from his bull-dog tenacity In close checking whenever he got the opportunity. Les- ter Patrick played a particularly good game on the defence and was respon- sible for breaking up many rushes. As a stick-handler, Capt. Lester has few oquals. Lindsay hea played much bet- ter th.3n he did last night since coming to the coast, although he did stop many hard shots. Dunderdale and Smith worked well on the forward line, the latter being responsible for Victoria's lonely goal. For the visitors, Leh- man played easily . the best game, .rohnson broke away a few times with a rusV> hut did nottiing .spectacular. His work on tho defence was good but Jie was non*- too sure on his skates. McDonald was the better of the for- wards. He is In a class by himself when it comes to speed, and the man- ner In which he tore down the Ice with tho puck last night was not slow. Treherne took MRllen'.*! place at centre until the middle of the neconu period And played a fairly good rame. Mal- len <lld good wotk In the last period, i>elng respon»ll> ' one

of lieMtofore a ter- lleire on.^' ; the «wlfk,^ and checkck!^ combination rushes 'of the Capitals were broken up as fast- as they :t6.me. At this' staRe the feeling of the players as well as of the farts waX,ed warm, and the match now passed into, one grand flght for supremacy. Both teams worked harder than they have for some time and the rough stuff was by no means eliminated. Before the clouds had cleared away Judge of Play Nichols had passed out six penalties. Rowe was the first. Bobby went oft for hitting McDonald. McDonald oft for mixing it, Johnson and Poulin off for slashing, Dundei'dalo off for interference with McDonald, end Gardner oft for tripping. Skinner broke a skate and Trehcrno went off to even up. Smalll put through a foxy piece of work when he lost his stlek, and rather than permit one of the Royals to get the puck, he very cooly stood on the rubber until the whistle blew, and, in tho meantime re- covered his weapon. Gardner was hit with the puck and laid out for a few seconds, and Bobby Rowe went down In a collision, during which time the game was held. When McDonald en- deavored to check Smaill while the lat- ter was traveling down the wing both players went Into the boards, and Mc- Donald was so badly hurt that he had to be carried from the Ice. Poulin went oft for the remainder of the per- iod to even up.

Third Period Flat The third period waa by no means a.«i Interesting from the spectators' standpoint as the two preceding ones, and although the locals were outplayed during this 20 mlnutesr-- they put tip a game flght until the very last With the score standing 1 all. the excitement of the fens was Intense, and for a time both teams traveled at phenomenal speed, shooting on the slightest oppor- tunity and checking hard and clo.se. Gardner was the only player to retire to the penally box during the conclud- ing period. The offence was that of tripping Tommy Dunderdale. Skinner wes struck on the head with a sknte but he very plucklly continued phiy- Ing after recovering himself. All went

well until itilir; ,,,...wt&,. wA i,&k.ui.u& .^-

I was in New York recently, and Martin Sheridan told me that he saw Queal run a mile In 4.21, and on another occasion, while working out with Mel 6heppard, he did better than 2 minutes for halt a mile, and gave Sheppard a rattling chase in the bargain. , I don't think Bonhag can beat this boy at George's own distance."

Early nc^" • - lr there will be a meeting of iterested in curling.

Thomas MoCoah has issued the call and it ia expected ttiat there will be a general response.

Unciucstionabiy one of the most ar- dent of the many high tension base- ball fans Victoria possesses is' Mr. T. P. McConnell, secretary of the Victoria Bail Club. He has departed for the south and his lieadquarters will be San Jose. Cal. Perhaps It is unneces- sary to add that this point has been selected as the rendezvous of the Vic- toria Northwestern League 1912 team. "T. P." will be able to keep the boys tinder his eye throughout the training period. Thus when the squad comes north he will know it through and through. As the observing secretary Is gifted with pleasing frankness he may be expected to make some en- lightening remarks on the team's chances .'Of tsking th« ppnnant when he gets back.

lf'^i^j||iip8' Bucs, the Seattle third sac\i- W/has^een setting the prairie^ around MaTim, Texas, anrc with his terrlflc bludKcon work, and the writers with the New York giants at the sprlns training camp are already predicting that the northwestern le-itguc's .lead- ing hom^-run hitter will stick : with McGra-ft'.

"Tuesday, he peppered the right field fence with one long drive after another," says Harry Schumacher m the New York Evening Mail. Ho slammed them so consistently intu right field that McGraw wondered whether he ever hit them anywhere else.

"Then a moment later," adds Schu- macher", "Bues shot one on a dead lino to centre field and followed that with two shots down the left Held foul line. In bunting pntcticc he showed a fond- ness for tipping tlVem toward third, but it took only a word from McGraw to Ecst him dumping them toward first.

"He has hit them higli. low, inside and outside. A right-hand hitter, Isc reminds one of the old camp followers of E. Delehanty, both in his position at the plate and by the manner In which ho goes after the bail."

Henry WoodrutT — ^It Is the un- expected that succeeds best— at least In the mimic world back of the foot- lights. In the last act of "The Prince of Tonight." the fantastic musical comedy In which Uetiry Woodruff wiU appear at the Victoria theatre on Thursday, March 14. an elaborate han- quet board la spread. It is a triangular shaped affair, pointing to the rear of the stage, and looking like an imita- tion snow plow going through a garden of artinelal flowers and a small crop of prpttv olcctrolierp. The visible cen- ter of the triangle is banked with red and white blossoms, rising from the curtain line to a height almost level with the table Itself. And heroin lies the unexpected— a veritable surprise, and one quickly commended -by . con- noisseurs of the stage doing*. Not a single show girl, "broiler" nor "pony, ' pops out of that snow bed.
