One was to the Dominion Parliament and the other to the Provincial Legislature, praying the. governments to take steps to establish a hospital in this province for consumptive people. It was decided to grant the request of the Society and forward the signed petitions to ths Health Department. The committee appointed to interview the government last week on various subjects made the following report, which was accepted, it being considered most satisfactory- Wc, the committee appointed by you to interview the government on several matters pertaining to the best interests of our town, beg leave to report as follows: On our way to Victoria it was arranged to- act in conjunction with the school trustees, and Mr. H.

The claim was then made that the government should sustain the main trunk road, First Avenue, through the city. A note was made of this by the minis- ter and we have good reason to expect that a grant will be given for) this purpose. , These ui.it/ters have already been lefened to the government agent licie, Mi.

After a full explanation by the committee, showing the advantage it would be to the citizens, and the impossibility of making any use of it as a park owing to the hilly and uneven surface of the ground, Mi Wilson very kindly consented to have a bill drafted and introduced as a government measure, explaining at the same Lime the necessity .that it should be so introduced Theie is only one point that could-possibly be of any hindrance to the passage of the act, and which we do not doubt could be very readily oveLcome. We fell sure that we would not be doing justice to our member and Mir.

This closed the business with the fe'ivcrrrm'cnt, having- occupied the greater part of thc afternoon. The Mayor and Aid.

The erroneous and absolutely unauthorized report that has been going the rounds about the Chemainus Lumber Company having contracted to supply Manitoba with thrty million feet of lumber during the coming season, has reached the East and is being used to counteract thc strong efforts heirrg made by the millmen of Canada 1o secure a restrictive tariff on American lumber.

"'vrrnr There is a good deal of comn ent going on in sporting circles about Frank Goli,h and his ambition that was only a short time ago, supposed to he onlv advertising tal'c It does not soi nd like fiotth to VetaU-ing -ri/e fighting Last March, Rhile at Vancom-ei nflorhs match with Chief Two Feathers Gotcji slated lo the wtiler that he was- sick of the wrest ling game, and was going to give up athletics altogether, as the hie he had to lead was a very careful one to keep himself in good condition. He stated that he had a couple of- good farms back in Iowa and was going in for farming and stockraising, after a few more matches. He is now uu- disputably the champion catch-as- catch-ean wrestler of America, and probably of the world, hut evidently as he finds wrestling easy, he aspires to boxing championship. The following account of a match he had on with a well Known heavyweight boxer is of interest as indicating the possibilities with Gotch in the ring. The aliair took place in Buffalo re- centlyj . It was a try-out for Gotch, "before about fifty members and sonic friends but in the fifth round Gotch Knocked Williams down so hard that he could not respond for the call of time for the sixth round. Instructor Jack lllrcigcr,' who referced the match, stepped in and stopped it. 'I he bout wus a most favorable try-out. for Gotch. Williams is said to have fought several battles in Canada,. He is taller than Gotch and outweight him lii'lccn j onruls Gotch hits a powerful punch with either hand. The bout had only gone three rounds when it became apparent tha,t unless Gotch let up Williams could not last. Frank was put ting irr body punches und getting away without a return that was gradually wearing Williams down. The fourth round was the better. The two big fellows went in. and mixed it from gong to gong. When ���������he fifth round began Gotch went in after Williams, wl.o was weak-. The boxers were breaking from a clinch when Gotch drove his right to William's head. Williams was knoc'ed down, and in falling, injured his arm. In tho opinion' of those who saw Gotch in this try������out think he .s a pretty dangerous- man for anyho-iy to tackle. 2oo Suits of this Brand ot Clothing just passed into Stock, FA1RALL BREWERY, VICTORIA Ass: SILVER SPRING BREWERY, VIC- TOIRA.
