Two luuiclred inonkejs, in wickci cages, 20 in each cage, weie bein^ brought by the ship's officers to sell here. The monkeys were placed m charge of Hoy -Sing. He carelessly left one cu^e open on August 13 Twenty monkeys escaped and undid the fastenings to the other cages until they had leleased nearly a hundred of the beasts. Hoy Sing appeared at this juncture. ,The libcu- ted simians scattered and pandemonium broke loose. The ship's captain ordered the Chinese crew and all olhcers- out to try and round up'the lunawajs, who took to the rigging, and the men weie forced to give up the chase. That night the monkeys came down from aloft and looted Uie ship. They sacked the gallery anil attacked "cveiy Chinese that was not hidden in a locker oi cabin. Hoy Sing, the keeper, was sighted foi special attention. This kept up !oi a week, befoie the end oi which tine Hoy Sing, half craved, leaped onboard and was dlow tied.

I may here state that we are now en-aged in installing a duplicate dynamo, with the necessary additional power machinery, thus doubling the capacity. The flat rate- to consumers prevailed for a time, hut meters were gra. dually installed, and enough are now being procured to place all. consumers on meter rates. The rates arc as follows1: For tho first 10 kilowatts (m a month), 17 cents per kilowatt. For the next 00 kilowatts (in a month) 12 ccnls pee kilowatt. For all above 100 kilowatts (in a month) 10 cents per-kilowatt. This makes the cost to a consumer rather less than one cent per hour per lfi candle power hiinl>. These, rates arc likely to be soon reduced.' Enclosed 'ih a copy of;the engineer's report, above referred to. On page 7 you will find the details of the. light plant. 1 also enclose a copy of ouig-l-ist- financial statement. This shows a net profit of- $1-1,000 from the water and light plants combined for the year. 190-1.. Taking the light plant alone, the net profit for the same year is $7,100, to which must be added the. public lighting of the city. This, at rates charged by the old Company, would nmbuut to $2,102, thus making a total profit on the Ught plant of $0,802.

FRIDAY,* SEPT. 15, 1905. ... the third" party: News comes from Winnipeg-that- Mr Joseph Martin, oi Vancouver, is in the Prairie City on a political mission���������nothing more nor less .than the lormation'of anew Dominion political partv, to be composed"^ the dissatisfied members of the Liberal and Conservative parties. Canada is not yet in a condition to furnish new "political paities to order, as is done in the States. The Grit and Tory are too firmly enthroned to be easily thrown down for the eiithus-- iastic member of his party in Cana- ' da is ready to do'almost' anything to advance -iis interests, except, perhaps, pay political assessments, and as yet olhce hunters ha\c not arrived at the state of profiency "as our neighbors across the line." So there is no iikeuhood of a Canadian uop- or anti-Con, anti-Lib., or any other ahti's branching out. In other words, Canada, is not yet rich enough in politicians to "form new parties that can make a fight of consequence." Of, the gentleman 'first named, Mr.. Joseph Martin, _if" he should uindeitake anything of the kind such as cthc formation of 'a new party, he would most certainly let his enemies know he was' around. As it is, however, it is altogether nkciy that Mr. Martin is in Winnipeg meet ing old political friends and having a good time. One thing may be -put ���������down as certain, while Joe Martin has been badly beaten in'Vancouver" and is by many regarded as having passed the possible.stage, the shrewd observer knows and realizes that if would take a whole lot of work 'to defeat him now in Vancouver, for he has been for the past two year's moving steadily back into popu ar favor in the Terminal City. jja A Cordial invitation is extended toy;u to be pres- ***, -ent~at our......

The game is perhaps the most popular of ail outdoor games with the sportsmen of this city and this year there is little doubt they will again make a fine showing against the \arious teams of the pro\ mce.- Of the game itself, an that need be said is tiiat it is clean and fast and gives many opportunities for individual and combined cic\erness. The game of football will attract m the Old Country something plicno mental in tho v>-ay of crowcis. It is nothing to see something,like -10,i000 people at i-nch .of the big gates in ten cr eleven of the large cities at the ordinary league matches on a Saturday. At a cup tie the crowd is overwhelming The games aie generally held m the Cr}stai Palace, London, Hie grounds of winch are capable of holding 1-15, OCO people, who can an get a good if somewhat distant \iew of the game. 'Plus accommodation has jecn taxed time and again to the uttermost. The spectators come from the uttermost parts,of the country, Ihoffch pr/ncipally from flie north, and special trains are put on by all the big trunk lines to bring them into the city and take them out again. They are the dead game sports of the Old Oounley. No amount of personal inconvenience can abate their ardent admiration for Ihe-r team or, as it proves'in many cases, the leant of Uieir temporary adoption in crushing' defeat will lowei UiDir enthusiasm. *aa of che players in the two halves the auivivojs of winch must inevitably meet m the final. To be m the easy end-'���������that is, in the half winch contains the weaker set, is. to be favored by "the luck 0f the draw". A cracker jack who finds himself m tins division may v\en smile m contentment, for as he romps along m d-ii- iiance toward the final ihe potential winners m the other division are .tattling together with tlie fury of the Kilkenny cats, and the survivor, v.iio ever lie may be, is very apt to be ovcrgoifod for the decisive match. But 'there is nothing superstitious in the 'eiief thai it is good to be favored by "to luck of the draw.j' IL is a cold, hard fact Thcie are two common superstitions regai ding the tees; not the tcej nig ground pioper, but the use of the pitch of sand made with the fingers from which the ball i.s played. It of teii happens I hat when a pia.,-' tlep*> foi ward to duve he finds a tee reaby lor him from which the preceding driver, possibly Ins opponent, may have struck the ball so cleanly that the little hummock of sand'lias noL been disturbed. It is less trouble to place Ihe ball on the ready made tee than to mould one, but very few'yield to ihe leuiptiUion To do so means bad luck, and not on*.- player in fifty will on tins account use a tco left by an- othci. "What?" he said io himself, as he saw ten tickets bought or. liritt an at once and only three on Nelson, "It's a cinch I n buy some and there you are. I'll bet on Nelson " The matter was a borrowing one but the borrowing went. U he man behind the gun was good and the bet was on. When things couhted out the newspaper had won $12.00 and had lost $12.50. Now for another story about the fight. One man. a profess!onai man learned m the law, bet $100 against MoO that Britt would last eighteen rounds. As wp ail know now Nelson got his punch n st before that eighteenth round ended and the fight was over. Then came the dispute. The other man was not a lawyer, but 'ie did know the ru'es of sport. The whole matter was left to arbitration The elecision went against the lawyer and the money was paul over, but to j tins minute it is safe to say that the lawyci is sore. The decision could not have been otherwise The bet was a definite one: i. c., that Britt would last eight ceiii rounds. As Britt was knocked out before the eighteenth round was over ho certainly did not last that long. One man down town had a Winchester repeating shot gun. Another man had a fishing boat that lie had j been fishmg with in tyhe l-ra^er river The two got to- I I 'tt-Aasd-ibsksta* i* ssia-1 that . rnmxj e*M -weaken* th* Jugs, low- *n th* -risslit-f and prspa-res the- ���������/���������tan' far * fW:m������r* sarioas? dia- weeV MBBB-f. wHnck are. the two fiealcst -icatn-ycf* itsgreatpopolaritj by iti prompt mum of tnia moat common afljnant It aids aspectentMO, re- " hmga.aad opens the -effecting a speedy and ���������r*.
