Horse  was held in  the  Armory on Saturday night under the  .   chairmanship of Capt. C. Tyner. There  .   was a large  attendance including all  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd   the nbn commissioned officers and  the  majority of. the 84.troopers enrolled.  Patriotic   songs   and   barracks   room  recitations were rendered with vim the  company  joining  with1 liveliness  the  ;i   choruses.   Capt. Tyner proving a genial and happy chairman\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand comrade.  An amusing feature of the entertainment which proceeded amid dense clouds  of smoke was a series of boxing bouts,  r  The  first  between   Sergt.   Larcombe J  and Sergt.

Another, betraying  7 exhibition of fisticuffe. more ludicrously  .: amusing  than instructive and having  ; more somersaults than fine technique  ; was a bantam fight between two \"'four  foot-fours.,\"'-These sometimes looked  like'bantams,   oftentimes as   crabs,  but never as boxers.      Trooper Dave  '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Cpupland was the \"ref.\"   In this contest the knock-out blows in  the three  rounds were-timed by the proximity of  the medicine.   During the evening the  toost \"The King'' was lustily accorded  with much fervor, on the call of the  Captain, \"God Save The King\" being  sung.  Capt. Tyner said  the  Home Guard]  was   formed with  the  best patriotic  motives,simply to carry out an obvious  duty and to be prepared in any case of  of any local trouble.   Neither the officers nor the troopers bore any inwill  to  any persons in Merritt and the district  but were to defend themselves if the  contingency arose and not to satisfy  any personal grievances   (cheers and  cries   That's   right,    Captain)    Capt.  Tyner then told the gathering that tbe  inauguration of their Home Guard had  created   considerable  interest outside  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand that they had received  a request  from a large and. important city seeking information as to how the Guard  had been started.    He was .specially  pleased that the strength had reached  the highly encouraging total of 84 men  and wished to acknowledge the kindnesses extended by the troopers to himself, as their captain, desiring them to  remember that all were comrades engaged in  a united work.

Respecting the alien  question that was a controversial matter in which opinions as to its solution  were wide and different.; He believed  the Government should take in hand  the internment of these aliens.  \"It has just been brought to my  notice,\" he declared, \"that there are  reports about that I am opposed to  to alien internment. That is not true.  My signature will be' found on the  petition now in circulation. I might  say however that I did not take_ any  active part in the agitation for internment for this reason, the man 'in -the  street can think once before he speaks  as mayor I have to think twice.\"  The Mayor also gave the flat denial  Government Army Officers will inspect and buy. horses here on Tuesday,  and at Quilchena On Wednesday of next  week.  Trooper E. Pearce, of the CM.R.'s  is in town on a visit to his' family.  He will return to Vernon on Monday.

Harboard, of Nicolo, as follows:  Somewhere in France,  May 21, 1915.  My dear Harbord,  It is eight o'clock in the morning and I've been up since daylight after sleeping in full equipment in an old barn with no roof  but lots of straw,  which, ff it  was  \"crumley,\"was  at  least  soft.     In this particular place  and time ours is in reserve, so  have to be ready any minute* to  turn out: if it was not for a  shower of shells which the enemy  send over as souvenirs every,.so  often,  this is a very peaceful  spot: sounds Irish does'nt it!  Under Strange Conditions - .  Yours of April 20 th arrived  last night just at dusk, I read it  amid, the din of rapid rifle fire  from  our    trench,   where   the  3rd Canadian Brigade were busy  turning the enemy out of a wood.  As^a few stray bullets began to  hum round I'thought discretion  the better part of valor so took  cover.   It is good to get a letter  from old B. C. and hear just how  you all are, remember me to all  old friends and if you see Mrs.  Kirby will you thank her from  me for pair of sox which arrived  just in nich of time, as the Huns  got all my personal effects at  Ypres on that memorable day :  in a case of rear-guard action a  fellow does not have much tfnne  to  carry  superfluous baggage.  A \"Keen\" Loss  Tell Mr.  Howse one  of  his  safety- razors went the same way.  I owe a good many letters to different Nicola people but it is impossible to write everybody as  the censor only allows a few-letters at a time as they could not  all be sent through.    Tell Miss  Ruby Howse I will try arid drop  her a line shortly.  Late Sergt. Davidson  Collinson and Lindsay both got  wounded and are, now in the Old'  Country, and poor Sergt. Davidson of Merritt, killed. He was  a good comrade and soldier.  I only received one letter from  Macintosh   Provincial Constable Bell has  received the following letter  from Pte. \"Scotty Bain\" who is  on active service with the 15th  Battalion. 48th Highlanders;  Dear Friend,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJust a few lines  to let you know how things are  with me at present. Well, Bell,  we got in a mix up with the Germans, as you will have read, but  1 managed to come through  all right. Believe me things  were awfully hot while the engagement lasted. Your friend  Burns was in the charge of me  but I not sure whether he \"went  down\" or net. Anyway when  the roll was called he was not  there to answer. We are just  giving the Germans what they  were bao_ly needing. We were  in the trenches for a week and  when we were getting out I met  Harry ixicol and Charlie Howse.  \"Nick\" asked me how I found  it and I told him it was far from  a picnic. \"Bell\" he continues,  \"you might send me some tobacco as soon as you can, and when  you see him, pass on my regards  to Magistrate Morgan. Bell these  Germans facing us have got no  heart in them to fight for v they  cannot stand the bayonet, we  can make them run like dogs.  So long, write soon, and say  don't forget the tobacco.

Connor, opened his ministry in  Nicola Methodist Circuit with  inspiring sermons delivered at  the Merritt Chapel hero, in the  presence of large congregations.  In the afternoon ha conducted  the service at Nicola Church.  In the morning he prefaced  his discourse with a few suggestions by which he as pastor and  the people could by united effort  do good .woik in and for the  church and the district, commenting that while,small differences  of opinion may arise as the work  continued vet they must not  allow these small matters to  obscure the greater principles  which they upheld and the purpose to which all aspired. If  they kept in mind, the greater  principles he felt the little things  would not interfere. They were  all brothers and sisters, aU members of the human race, and if  they looked broadly on the larger  things little matters and differences would not retard the common work.  ;   The preacher took as his text  the words found-in Hebrews 2<\\  Iv.-    ,''-    y'xx   :--'r'-  '' Therefore we ought to give  the more earnest heed to the  things which-we have heard, lest  at any time we should let them  slip.\"  \"This is an age of seeming  independence\" he remarked \"an  age when people looked upon  themselves as independent i\"  many ways. They looked about  them and there were such limitless resources, and scientists  making endless and marvellous*  researches. They saw the rich  minerals, the development of  electricity, the many similar indications of progress compared  with the years of long ago. Bj  -\ufffd\ufffd\ufffduch strides had mankind ad  vanced people thought themselves  independent but really were onl>  seemingly independent.\"  In this war too, some men  thought they were independent,  some thought they could overrule  the rights of others. But, God  stands above, all are dependent  on him. \"I believe it is the purpose of God that certain things  have happened in these recent  days,\" he declared. Again, he  knew of a man who would appear  to have been independent, but  he was only seemingly so. He  had a $200,000 but now only had  the wreck, for his fortune was  lost in a financial smash. Then  there was the; vessel that was  wrecked. And the woman whose  career was ruined by the loss ot  her virtue.
