Comment on the\nition thus contemplated by the Trustees\n-or rather by a section of them, for the\nition was carried through in the absence\n:' two members\u00E2\u0080\u0094is already very wide-\niread and of a most adverse character,\nid, if the Trustees are well advised, they\nill lose no time in reconsidering a course\naction for which there is apparently no\nliason. There are at least three principal\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2ounds on which the School Trustees'\nuirse is undoubtedly open to condemna-\n011. The first is that the proposed change\ntddles tlie long-suffering taxpayer with\nie cost of an additional salaried position\npr the proposed new principal of $1,800,\nif the educational burdens due to our\nJ_creasing juvenile population Avere not\nready enough. The second ground of\njndemnation is that the proposed change\nas passed by those three of the School\nrustees who are the very least experi-\nlcfd members of that body. Such radical\nlanges of policy and management should\never be instituted without either the full\nincurrence of the Board or an overwhelm-\n>g majority with all members present.\nI'he third ground for condemnation is the\nsceeding inadvisability of removing an\nsperienced and capable servant from the\nuitrol of a position which that servant\nas handled satisfactorily for years. This\nmrse should never be adopted\"without a\nlost important ground for so doing, aud\nlose grounds known and agreed upon by\nie entire Board. There are other reams that might conceivably be advanced\ngainst the present proposed action of the\nSchool Trustees, but the above three may\ntaken as the most important. To the\nlinds of most reasonable people they\nI'ould appear to be amply sufficient for\nublic opinion to insist upon a reconsider-\ntion of the whole matter in the presence\nf the entire Board. The situation as it\ntands is most peculiar. There does not\nppear to have been any complaint from\nnybody, parent, pupil, or teacher with re-\n;ard to the previously existing conditions,\nshere is no question of economy involved,\nor, as shown above, the proposed change\naeans a heavy additional expenditure.\nVnd, most peculiar feature of all, the\nMisiness is rushed through in a great hurry\n>y three Trustees in the absence of their\nellow members and in the face of urgent\nirotests for further and serious consider-\n.tion voiced by such experienced members\nis Trustee Mrs. Jenkins, and by Chairman\nlay. And, moreover, this very important\ntep is forced through in a minute's notice\n>y the three Trustees who have least ex-\n)crience in educational matters. It is a\nsubject of common knowledge that the\n:ontrol of the Girls' Central School being\ninder female supervision hae met with\ntactically unanimous approval on the\n.art of all parents, and has been one of\nhe factors extremely prominent in bring-\nng families to regard Victoria with a\n'avourable eye for the educational facili-\nies afforded young girls. The Week has\n10 hesitation in placing itself on record\nis strongly of opinion that the control\nif a girls' school should always be in the\niands of a woman. There are many rea\nsons for this, and they are perfectly well\nknown to all men and women who have\nstudied educational problems. The people\nof Victoria will no doubt insist upon having ful] consideration paid to their views\nin this matter, and therefore for the ] ire-\nsent no more need be said. It may be\nremarked, however, that, while The AVeek\nis not, in discussing this matter, swayed\nin any way by certain rumours going\nround town with reference to the cause of\nthe action of the three Trustees\u00E2\u0080\u0094rumours\ncoupled with a citizen whom one of our\ndaily contemporaries has already named\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094this journal does not hesitate to say\nplainly that the action of the School Trustees in this matter has shown a strange and\nundue precipitancy, and a lack of reasonable cause, quite sufficient to give these\nrumours ground for starting, and the\nTrustees will find that their action will\ntake a great deal of explaining. We shall\nexpect to have to refer again to this matter, and can only trust that it will not be\nnecessary to do so in much harsher\nlanguage.\nthe City's phoenomcnal development during the past three years, and both the business men of the City and the Provincial\nGovernment are to be warmly congratulated upon a course of action whicli will\nhave such beneficial and far-reaching\neffects upon Victoria and V ancouver\nIsland generally.\nfine weather, and that is something the\nFair week in Victoria is usually favoured\nwith, the coming exhibition should break\nali records.\nAmong topics of public in-\nThe Mill terest in Victoria during the\nBay Road. past week the letting of the\ncontract for the middle section of the Mill Bay Road has occupied a\nprominent place, as the results of that\nwork, when complctedj will be of a nature\nwhich present conditions in Victoria have\nplaced the popular mind in a position to\neasily appreciate. The Mill Bay Road\nopens up a large section of country directly tributary to Victoria, and for the\nmost part of a very productive character,\nand the growth of the district affected as\nwell as its usefulness to Victoria, lias been\nseriously hampered in the past by lack of\nproper road communication. As the public are aware, the construction of the road\nis the direct outcome of a promise made\nby the Provincial Government to the Victoria Board of Trade ancl a number of prominent citizens, who, being well aware of\nthe industrial and commercial value of\nthis undertaking to the City of Victoria,\nmade urgent representations on the subject to Premier McBride and his colleagues. These latter gentlemen showed a\nready appreciation of the important interests involved, and at once made arrangements to meet the wishes of the people of\nVictoria as voiced by their representative\nmerchants and manufacturers. The results to Victoria are likely to be very far-\nreaching. The product and commerce of\na wide tract of country lying right at the\nCity's door will have easy access to the\nprincipal markets, and the resulting interchange of commodities ancl products, together with the largely increased demands\ncaused by the development of the new district, will mean an increase to Victoria of\npopulation, commerce, and manufacture.\nNo town has ever grown great by being\nmerely a town, its greatness or otherwise\ndepends entirely upon the size, character\nancl accessibility of the districts tributary\nto it and for whose supplies it forms the\ndistributing point. Victoria has never\nlacked a good and valuable country at the\nback of it, but her growth has hitherto\nbeen much hindered by the lack of means\nof easy access to that country, the consequence being that both district and City\nwere losers\u00E2\u0080\u0094the one for lack of development, owing to difficulty of access, ancl the\nother through the loss of all that trade\nand manufacture which would have resulted from the district's settlement. Considered as a commercial undertaking, the\nMill Bay Road comes, in point of value\nnext, to the two lines of railway running\nout of Victoria. It represents an asset of\nincalculable value, especially in view of\nBusiness\nMethods.\nNothing that the McBride\nGovernment can do is any\ngood in the eyes of the Victoria Times. The latest instance illustrating this fact occurred on\nThursday night, when onr contemporary\nreferred with some bitterness to tlie fact\nthat the Provincial Government had settled\nthe Lampson Street School matter by an\narrangement through which the contractor\nhas to pay all the expense the public has\nbeen put to through his curious misconception of what constitute safe and proper methods of putting up a building. The\nTimes allows its prejudices to deprive it\nof its common sense. Had the contractor\nheen brought into Court and prosecuted,\nthere would have been a. long and costly\nsuit, possibly not even a successful one,\nexpensive fees to experts, expensive fees\nto lawyers, ancl the whole bill coming out\nof the pockets of the people, in addition to\nthe heavy loss they have already sustained.\nThe Government, through the present arrangement, saves the taxpayer all this unnecessary expense, gets the new work done\nfor nothing, and, best of all, has put in\nworking order a new and most excellent\nmethod for controlling public contractors\niu future. There is no money in jerry-\nbuilding, if you have to eld.your work all\nover again for nothing, arid the average\ncontractor has his head screwed on quite\nlevel enough to see that; The methods of\nthe McBride Government, since they assumed the reins of office, have been characterised by business ability and common\nsense, but they have seldom given a better\nillustration of these two qualities\u00E2\u0080\u0094so deplorably rare in most of our Government\nbodies\u00E2\u0080\u0094than in the present instance. Of\ncourse, they do things differently in* Ottawa, which doubtless explains the irritation of the Times. Over in the Dominion\nCapital, the bond that united the Siamese\nTwins was but a cobweb compared witli\nthe close ancl intimate relationships which\nexist between Government contractor, private Member, ancl Cabinet Minister. By\nthe way, it is an unhappy coincidence for\nthe Times that its spiteful sneer at the\nProvincial Government's method of handling public contractors should have appeared in print on the very day that\nbrought the news of the remarks of Sir\nCharles Rivers-AVilson in Montreal concerning the calamitous bungling of the\nDominion Government contractors on that\nsection of the transcontinental running\nEast from Winnipeg. Since the Times dislikes the example set by the Provincial\nGovernment, will it kindly inform an\nanxious public what steps the Ottawa\nauthorities will take to remedy the affairs\nof whieh the President of the Grand\nTrunk complains?\nAt this present writing\nBright Prospects the prospects for the Fair\nFor The Fair. next week may be said to\npresage a record exhibition and a record attendance. Last year\ntaught the public to expect great tilings\nfrom Mr. J. A. Smart, Secretary of the\nB. C. Agricultural Association, and present indications are that those expectations\nwill not be disappointed. The energetic\nSecretary and his staff are working night\nand day, entries are pouring in and both\nexhibits and sports are of a most comprehensive and high class character. Given\nThe business men of Vic-\nInsurance Rates toria are at the present\nIn Victoria. moment anxiously await\ning the answer from the\nhead offices of the insurance companies doing business here to the recommendation,\nforwarded recently by the Vancouver\nIsland Board of Fire Underwriters, recommending a substantial reduction in existing rates. This recommendation was\nmade in pursuance of a promise that, as\nsoon as an adequate and up-to-date system of fire protection had been established\nin Victoria, reduced rates would at once\nfollow. .Matters tending to an improvement in this respect have moved very\nquickly during tlie past few months, and\nA'ictoria has now a thoroughly efficient fire\ndepartment, organized in accordance with\ntlie most up-to-date methods of drill and\ndiscipline by Fire Chief Davis, together\nwith modern apparatus, additional engine\nequipment, the installation of a salt water\nhigh pressure system, and a inarked improvement in the pressure of the local\nfresh wafer supply. Taking all these\nthings into consideration, it is felt by the\nbusiness men of A'ictoria tliat a very considerable reduction in existing rates is now\nfully warranted, and in this view, it is\nto be remarked, local insurance men fully\nconcur. The rapid development in building which has been taking place throughout A'ictoria during the past couple of\nyears, and wliieh, during the present season, has reached an extent and activity beyond all previous records, renders the\nquestion of fire insurance rates a matter\nof great importance as affecting the city's\nfuture development. I.t is granted by\ncompetent observers tliat A'ictoria has done\nher part towards becoming entitled to this\nreduction, and a reply from the head\noffice! of the fire insurance companies will,\nil. is confidently expected, endorse that\nview.\nAA'hcn Mr. Collingwood\nThe Little Schreiber was in the AVest\nCloud. about a month ago he re\nmarked that the Grand\nTrunk Pacific Railway could not be completed within the prescribed period unless\npermission was given for the employment\nof Oriental Labour. Commenting on this,\nat the time, The Week expressed the\nopinion that the Chief Engineer of the\nDominion Government was \"Hying a kite,\"\nand that his suggestion would later on take\nmore tangible form in a direct application\nto the Government. The prediction is\nlikely to prove, true, for a late dispatch\nfrom Ottawa stales that Sir Charles Rivers\nWilson and Mr. C. M Hays are to interview Sir AVilfrid Laurier for the purpose\nof securing his consent to the employment\nof Mongolian labour. The same dispatch\nquotes Mr. Schreiber as saying that the\nrailway will not be completed for many\nyears unless such permission is given. The\nsituation is a perilous one, the people of\nBritish Columbia have with practical\nunanimity decided against a Mongolian-\nbuilt railway. The Provincial Government is pledged to resist it to the utmost;\nit is not long since the Liberal Press was\ntrying to convince the people of this Province that Codlin was their friend, not\nShort; now it looks as if the boot is on the\nother leg and the next move \\\V. be very\nclosely watched. In any event tliere will\nbe no receding on the part of the people\nof British Columbia or the Provincial\nGovernment. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1909\nK9*^/**i^/*i*}/lr-*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0***f\r*+\f**y\nj At The Street f\n{ Corner i\nBy THE LOUNGER\nCircumstances have compelled me\nto do all my lounging this week in\nVancouver and there are just a few\nfeatures of life there upon which i\nwish to comment.\nFirst of all, let us take another run\nout to the Minoru race track. It is\nwell worth it, for a more instructive\nsight in connection with races 1 never\nsaw. On the first day of the meeting a month ago there were 6,000\npeople there, including all the leading society people of Vancouver.\nEverybody was intent on enjoying\nthemselves and on helping to make\nthe meet a success. On Wednesday\n1 estimated the attendance at 600. of\nwhom at least 400 were professional\nbetting men, touts, and officials. Two\nhundred is a liberal estimate for the\ngeneral public who have no business\nthere except for sightseeing.\nIn the next place I was very much\namused at the farcical attempt at\ncompliance with the law with respect\nto betting. I had read in the papers\nthat the police had closed down on\nopen betting, and that al] the boxes\nhad been removed. The latter part\nof the statement is true, for they arc\npiled up in an unsightly heap in a\nnearby field, but betting was as brisk\nas ever, only far more strenuous and\nwearying, for the unfortunate bookie,\nand this is how it was done: There\nwere fifteen posts, say eight feet\nhigh, nailed on each a board, just a\nlittle larger than an ordinary sign\nboard, on this were written the names\nof the horses ancl the odds offered;\none unfortunate man carried the post\nanother did the chalking, another car\nried the tickets, a fourth made the\nentries in the book, and a fifth acted\nas general assistant.\nAfter each race the fifteen pest\nbearers receded to the very back of\nthe large space underneath thc grandstand and in semi-obscurity commenced to conduct the betting on the\nnext race. About every two minutes,\nat a given signal, the post was carried forward, say three feet, and this\nwas repeated until by the time thc\nnext race was due the post had been\nadvanced to the outer edge of the\ngrandstand, and the people pushed to\nthe outside? During the race the\npost bearers retreated once more-t\nready to renew the operation. Anything more ridiculous 1 never saw.\nIt certainly is a technical compliance\nwith the law in that the poor betting\nman has no fixed place, but he certainly has my sympathy for he is\nchivied on, literally from pillar to\npost, and has not a moment's rest,\nwhilst the process of betting goes on\nexactly thc same as if the boxes were\nthere. The only effect of the police\nregulations is to inconvenience the\nbookie and that is not a very sublime\nachievement. The most farcical aspect of the case is that when the raid\nis over all bets are paid at fixed counters, where the name of the bookie\nor the club is nailed up, but the mere\nfact that the bet is not made tliere is\nsupposed to legalize the operation.\nAll 1 have to say is that it was a\nsorry spectacle, and one calculated to\nbring all law into disrepute.\nAnd now one word about the races.\nI do not hesitate to say that the so-\ncalled Thoroughbred Association has\nkilled racing in British Columbia. On\nthis there is no difference of opinion,\nnot even among the followers of the\nsport. It is admitted that all the\nworst features of the American race\ntracks have been introduced at Minoru\nPark, and bookies who have followed\nthe game all their lives said that it\nwas the most crooked meeting they\nhave ever attended. Anyone can tell\nthis by simply following the newspaper reports and noticing the in and\nout running of the horses. Only this\nweek two horses which have never\nwon a race before either in Victoria\nor Vancouver went to the front, won\nout and in each case established a\nrecord. They could have undoubtedly\nhave done this long ago but have heen\ndeliberately kept back until betting\nconditions were ripe. However, I\nhave not patience to say anything\nmore about it except that after what\nhas happened in Vancouver there can\nbe no open betting at the Victoria\nFall .Meeting.\n-i* -;, *\nVancouver has an institution which\nI would like to sec duplicated in\nevery Canadian city. I am tola that\nonce upon a time Victoria boasted\nof such a place, and if so, 1 think it\nis a great pity it was not kept going.\n1 refer to tin* Rainier Restaurant.\nThis is a place which distinctly, and\nliterally, \"fills the bill.'' It is a Bohemian Cafe, where everybody goes,\nand where everybody does as he likes\nwithin the limits of respectability. It\nis a safety valve for high spirits, and\nwhy should not high spirits hc encouraged? I believe that half the ills\nwhich afflict society, and which reformers deplore, arc due to the unwise suppression of natural instincts.\n(Continued on Page Four)\nSomething New\nWe are now able to offer to our patrons\nA GUARANTEE\non our splendid line of PLATED KNIVES, FORKS and SPOONS.\nThis line which is specially made for us is guaranteed to have\nMORE SILVER than any other standard make and we GUARANTEE to replace\nFree of Charge\nany of these goods which, a ter use, do not prove satisfactory.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1909\nThe Week\nA Provincial Review and Magazine, published every Saturday by\nTHE WEEK\" PUBLISHING\nCOMPANY, LIMITED.\nPublished at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER\niao8 Government St., Victoria, B.C.\nW. BLAKEMORE, Editor.\nTne True Romance\n1 was very greatly struck by an\narticle which appeared in an Eastern\nnewspaper a few days ago from the\npen of an English gentleman who was\nvisiting Canada. In the course of a\ntrip from Victoria to Vancouver he\nmet the Hon. Edgar Dewdney, who\ngave him a few interesting reminiscences of pioneer days in British Columbia. It sounded like a romance to\nthe visitor when Mr. Dewdney pointed from the deck of the vessel to the\ncity of Vancouver and said: \"More\nthan fifty years ago I passed through\nthe Narrows and this mighty city was\nthen only a forest of cedars\"; and\nherein lies the true romance. The\nromance of the West, the romance of\nthe growth of cities, of the development of communities, literally of the\nfounding of a new world. For British Columbia is a new world.\nIt differs in every essential feature\nfrom the world beyond the Rockies.\nAn old settler who attended the Conservative picnic at Sydney last year\namused me very much when Mr. McBride was speaking of \"We Canadians.\" The old greay-beard shouted\nout: \"I am not a Canadian, I am a\nBritish Columbian,\" and he voiced at\nleast the semblance of a great truth.\nIt is not that British Columbia is not\nCanadian in sentiment, and in loyalty,\nbut that the physical features of the\nProvince differentiate it from every\nother part of the Dominion, and its\nvery isolation seems to have impressed the handful of people who\nhave settled here with the idea that\nthey have to work out their own salvation.\nThe very portal to the Province is\nat once impressive and suggestive.\nAfter more than a thousand miles of\nflat table land one enters a narrow\npass, and the steel road winds its\nway, like a thread through mountain\nfastnesses for five hundred miles; and\nthen the sea.\nNo wonder that little more than\nthirty years ago Eastern Statesmen\nfailed to realize the possibility of this\nrugged outpost, and that men as astute as Sir Richard Cartwright implored Parliament not to invite financial disaster by building a railway\ninto such a sea of mountains. But\nfar seeing men like Sir John A. Macdonald and Lord Strathcona were as\npersistent as they were prescient and\nthe railway was built, and today at\nits terminus is one of the most marvellous cities in the world.\nIt has been the habit of Westerners\nto speak and think of Seattle as the\ngreat city of the Pacific Coast and\nprobably today it has a quarter of a\nmillion people to the 100,000 of Vancouver, but only six years ago Vancouver was proud of its 35,000, and\neven Seattle cannot show a growth\nof 200 per cent, in six years. The\nsame Lord Strathcona, whom the\nProvince has very largely to thank\nfor its railway, stated only a fortnight ago that in twenty years Vancouver would have a population of\nhalf a million, and although to some\nthis might appear an extravagant estimate he would be a bold man who\nwould claim to be able to form a\nsounder judgment than the eminent\nstatesman who declared it.\nThe fact is that Vancouver is growing in every direction and growing\nso fast that no one realises what it\nwill become. I hold no brief for the\nTerminal City, and I have no interest\nin it except as a progressive Western\nCity, but I am simply amazed at what\nis going on before our eyes. Tell\nthe story to a pessimist and lie says:\n\"Oh, yes, it is simply a boom,\" but\nit is a boom which has lasted with\nlittle fluctuation for six years, and is\ntoday more vigorous than ever. An\nabsence of three months makes a difference which astonishes, vacant lots\nare filling up, outside lots are being\nembraced in the grasp of the City,\nthe country is becoming the town,\nand the environs are ever receding.\nIt matters not where, a man buys,\nlie can always sell at an increased\nprice and the increase is astonishing.\nTake one illustration three months\nago the O'Brien block was sold for\n$125,000; this week it was resold for\n$175,000. Take another, a month ago\na young man bought two building lots\non Granville street more than half a\nmile south of Hastings, in a very unfashionable locality. He expected to\nhold them for several years and then\nto make a decent turn over. He paid\nfor the two $28,000. In my hearing\nhe was this week offered $35,000, but\ndeclared he would not sell at $40,000.\nPerhaps, however, the greatest surprise of all is in the case of the Point\nGrey lots, which were sold by the\nGovernment at auction less than an\nacre for a $1,000; he has repeatedly\nrefused $10,000. Such growth has\nnever been known in Canada, and it\nrests upon a solid foundation. It is\ndue to the concentration of great\nbusiness enterprises at Vancouver. It\nis due to the fact that Vancouver has\nbehind it a Province of fabulous\nwealth in its natural resources. It is\ndue further to the certainty that Vancouver will be a great shipping port\nfor Prairie grain, and it is due lastly\nto the spirit of the people who are\ndetermined to make their city the\ngreatest in the West. It has been\ncustomary to speak of the \"Seattle\nSpirit\" as the embodiment of enterprise, I am not sure that the future\nwill not recognize the \"Vancouver\nspirit\" as the truest type of Western\nprogress.\nififififififififitifififif\nt MUSIC AND I\nJ THE STAGE *\ni-ifi-ififififififipififi?\nPantages Theatre.\nThe improvement in Victoria's\nVaudeville houses within the last year\nhas been most marked, especially with\nPantages. It will be remembered that\nabout three years ago it was nearly\nalways the case of\"*\"Let's go to the\nGrand; I don't care for Pantages,\"\nbut now ways and sights have\nchanged, and there is no difference\nof opinion in the fact that one is as\ngood as the other, and oftentimes the\nopinion of the public as to \"who is\ngiving the best show this or next\nweek?\" is in favour of Pantages. A\nconsiderable amount of praise is due\nthe management of Pantages circuit,\nfor they really have made a wonderful improvement in their offerings;\nthey have a much better class\nof vaudeville, which is probably\ndue to the fact that they have a\nnumber of very highly paid artists.\nNow we have the pleasant news of\ntheir intention to build a new house\nhere; this is not just a matter of \"will\nthey,\" but \"they will.\"\nThe following is their offering for\nweek commencing Monday, the 20th\ninst: Rogers, Sherman and Luhen.\nexcellent minstrel comediennes, who\nwill be seen in a one-act comedy entitled \"A Visit to Uncle.\" Walds,\nDevere and Gates, a comedy farce,\n\"The Irish Eskimo\"; James Keane &\nCo., in a dramatical sketch \"Jekyl\nand Hyde\"; Charles Higgins, violin\nvirtuoso. There will be the usual illustrated song and up-to-date moving\npictures.\nGrand Opera.\nTwo operas will be given by the\nInternational Grand Opera Company,\nan organization that has already produced the Italian works with success\nthroughout the United States and Canada. The undertaking is a great\none and was started by the management last fall in a serious spirit. An\nattempt has been made to make it in\nevery way worthy; the representatives\nof the principal parts, the chorus, the\norchestra, the conductor, are all said\nto be equal to their tasks; the scenery\nhas been especially constructed and\nthe performances as a whole and in\ndetail have been so carefully prepared as to go forward with smoothness and precision.\nMme. Helene Therry, the French\nartist of the International Grand\nOpera Company, is not only a beautiful woman for the eyes to feast upon, but her education in the French\nschool of opera compels her to be\nan actress, dramatic as well as lyric.\nThe performance of \"Carmen\" in\nthe opera of that name requires the\nmost intense and subdued acting imaginable. The end of the second act\ndemands a Rcstori who Mme. Therry is spoken of as resembling in her\npower.\nMme. Therry, after playing the several European cities, came to New\nYork and appeared a number of times\nin concerts. Mr. Edwards engaged\nher for the International Grand Opera\nCompany, and her success has been\nphenomenal from the first. Madame\nis one of the artists who sings only\ntwice a week.\n\"Carmen\" will be sung during the\nengagement of the International\nGrand Opera Company here on Tues\nday evening, Sept. 21st.\nMadame Helene Therry will assume the title role, in which she won\ngolden opinions in Paris, London,\nNew York and the other great cities\nof the East.\n\"Commencement Days.\"\nJohn Cort takes great pleasure in\npresenting Frederick V. Bowers, the\ncelebrated singer, comedian and song\nwriter, at the Victoria Theatre, on\nWednesday, Sept. 22nd, in \"Commencement Days,\" a play of college\ngirl life, by Margaret Mayo and Virginia Frame. Mr. Bowers will be\nsupported by a company of seventy\npersons, most of whom are girls.\nIn \"Commencement Days,\" Mr.\nCort offers to the public a play\nof inherent beauty and dramatic\nstrength, a combination of stage entertainment that has never failed of\nsignal success. The play is the joint\nwork of Virginia Frame, a prominent\nalumnus of Smith College, and Margaret Mayo, a dramatist of ripe experience, author of \"Polly of the Circus.\" No man or woman, no matter\nhow hardened by life's struggles, but\ncan look back to the happy childhood hours in the classroom and on\nthe playground with smiles of reminiscent pleasure and joy.\nAt the Street Corner\n(Continued from Page Two)\nThe old adage \"laugh and grow fat\"\ncannot be too literally interpreted,\nand the gay and happy throng which\nfills the Rainier Restaurant every\nnight between ten and twelve o'clock\ncertainly laughs. The refreshments\nare light, the festive cigarette is much\nin evidence, a splendid orchestra keeps\nthings lively, and now and again\neverybody joins in a well known\nchorus.\nVery occasionally a musical lady or\ngentleman favours the people with a\nsolo, harmless fun is the order of the\nday, or rather of the night, and I must\nconfess that the whole scene rather\nsurprised me, and pleasantly so. It\nrecalled memories of the Jardin Bul-\nlier of many years ago, and yet it\nwas devoid of any objectionable feature, and perpetuated only the best\nelements of a \"joy-supper.\" I am\nconvinced that the multiplication of\nsuch places, always under careful supervision, would solve many social\nproblems. If fliey are not allowed\nto exist in a harmless form they will\nexist without the restrictions which\nmake them safe, and the course of\nwisdom would be to recognize the\nwant and reasonably comply with it.\nOfri\nrtttij&r.\n\"Sued for a breach of promise, eh?\"\n\"Yep.\"\n\"Any defense?\"\n\"Temporary insanity; and I expect\nto prove it by the love letters I\nwrote.\"\n61\nVICTORIA LAND DISTRICT.\nDistrict of Chatfleld Island.\nTAKE NOTICE that Wm.

C. Agricultural Association, will be formally opened by\nHis Honour Lieut.-Governor Duns-\n|muir.\nThe exhibition will extend over the\nwhole week and promises to be the\nbest ever held under the auspices of\nthis association. More entries have\nbeen received than ever before, each\nclass bring well filled and every prize\nwill be contested for. In the main\nbuilding, the exhibits will be much\nbetter, more space being given to the\nlocal manufacturers owing to the\nremoval of the school exhibits and\nladies' division to the building erected\nespecially for the ladies' department.\nThe local exhibitors have not been\nslow to take up the space and already no space can be secured.\nTn the ladies' building everything\nis being nicely arranged by the com-\nImittee and the display will be very\nattractive. The building itself is a\nrery handsome structure and attracts\n'considerable admiration.\nIn the poultry and pet stock classes\nthe building will be filled with exhibits and the committee from the\nVictoria Poultry Association has its\nhands full in placing the exhibits to\nthe best advantage.\nThe principal attraction from the\nentries will be the horses and cattle.\nIn the former, a better class of\nhorses will be shown and more than\never. The judging of the horses promises to be very exciting and already\nthere is considerable speculation as\nto the probable winners.\nIn the cattle division considerable\ninterest has been aroused by the receipt of the entries from Mr. Ness\nof Quebes, who is bringing his celebrated herd of Ayrshires to try conclusions with those of British Columbia. In addition to this more cattle are being exhibited by the individual exhibitors, they evidently being attracted by the large prizes provided by the association.\nAlthough the exhibition will not bc\nformally opened until 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, judging will commence\nearly Monday morning, and will be\nrushed through with all possible dispatch, in order that the visitors to the\nfair may be able to recognize between the winners and losers.\nIn judging the horses and cattle\nthe management is arranging to carry\nit on in a very systematic manner,\nevery class being given a special time\nwhen the competitors are supposed\nto be on the ground. This will obviate the possibility of any delay;\nin addition the exhibitor runs the\nchance of being disqualified for being late, and every effort will be made\nto run the judging on schedule time.\nThe Horse Show is expected to\nover-shadow that of last year, and owing to the great demand for admittance last year the management has\ndecided to hold the show both afternoon and evenings. The horse show\nring has been prettily decorated and\nuow has a permanent roof, which\nwill make it possible to hold the show\nrain or shine, and the spectators will\nbe able to witness the contests with\ncomfort.\nThe horse races are also expected\nto attract large crowds and there :s\nan absolute guarantee that there will\nbe sufficient competitors. Secretary\nSmart was in Vancouver at the beginning of the week and has the assurance of the horsemen that there\nwill be from 125 to 150 runners here\nfor the races.\nTn the harness class practically\nevery race has been filled, especially\nthe 2.35 pace and 2.30 trot in which\nthere are no less than seventeen entries, The other events are filled in\ncomparison and the lovers of the\nharness races are sure of witnessing\nseveral exciting finishes. Exhibition\nby the Guideless trotter will be very\ninteresting. This gallant little mart\nwill be a novelty in this city and\nwill sure prove a good drawing card.\nThe first attempt to make an airship flight in British Columbia will\nbe made during the exhibition. Secretary Smart has made a good move\nwhen he secured the services of Prof.\nStruebel to make daily flights during\nthe exhibition. This should bring\nvisitors from all parts of the Province as Victoria will be the only city\nin B. C. in which Prof. Stroebel will\nmake a flight. In addition to the\ndaily flights at the exhibition, it is\nexpected that the Professor wil make\na flight over the city, just to let\neveryone see that he can control his\nairship. Thc ascension will in all probability take place from a point in\nthe rear of the Grandstand, a large\narea being required to insure a successful flight.\nThe evening attraction will make\nthe night attendance at the exhibition\nlarger than ever before. It has always been conceded that the evening\nattendance was not as it should be\nand to do away with this the directorate has arranged for a grand pyro-\nlechnical display, portraying the\nBattle of Alexandria. The details of\nthis famous work are known to everyone who has ever read British history.\nThe bombardment of the City of\nAlexandria by the British warship will\nbe shown in a very realistic manner,\nin the display, and the minds of the\nspectators will readily be diverted to\nthe stories read in their school days\non account of the war. Arrangements\nfor this display are in the hands of\nHitt Bros, of Seattle, and their ability to fulfill their promises is too well\nknown by Victorians to require anv\ncomment. The display will extend\nover a distance of three hundred feet\nand more fireworks will be used than\nhave ever been used in any one display of pyrotechnics in British Columbia.\nBand concerts have been arranged\nfor every afternoon and evening. Both\nthe Fifth Regiment and Victoria Concert bands having been engaged, and\nit is quite likely that an outside organization will bc engaged for at least\none day.\nThe officials for all departments\nhavc been appointed ancl will commence their labours with the knowledge that some of the decisions will\nbc very close, and every effort has\nbeen made to secure judges who rank\nhigh in their individual classes.\nIn the horse races Sam McGibbon,\nwho acted as clerk of the scales during the summer meeting here, has\nbeen engaged to supervise tllis de-\n(Continued on Page Eight)\nM8S83^tst\u00C2\u00ABs^:&:8sss\u00C2\u00BBs_$ss$s:\n1SEE BOLDEN\nTHE CARPENTER AND\nBUILDER.\nI Fort Street I\nti ti\nW.^.-***,-\u00C2\u00BB-W#M;\u00C2\u00BB\n*VmWmWm'^WmVmVmWmV-mW**VhVm'm'<\nFOUNTAIN PEN\nFREE\nTo every lady, gentleman, girl and\nboy for selling only 6 pair of our patent\nhat fasteners at 25 cents per pair, we\nwill give absolutely free a fountain pen.\nDo not delay, send today.

That the best toasts\nof the age are drank in the best wine is well proven in the\nfact that at all the prominent banquets and high-class\nfunctions throughout the civilized world the one champagne used exclusively is G. H. Mumm & Co.'s. The fact\nthat wealthy and discerning people are always willing to\npay for the best is the reason of the enormous import of\nMumm's champagne to this country.\nTo always insure the same high standard of quality, G.\nH. Mumm & Co. make immense purchases of fine vintages\nin order to tide over poorer ones. They never confine\nthemselves to the product of a limited number of vineyards, hence the fact that no other champagne on the\nmarket can show such proof of its superlative quality and\npopular appreciation.\nMumm's \"Selected Brut,\" especially put up for the English champagne drinking people, can be obtained here: it\ncontains the natural alcohol of the grapes\u00E2\u0080\u0094the alcohol is\nnot added as in other so-called \"brut\" wines. Mumm's\n\"Selected Brut\" is a very genuine brut champagne pronounced by connoisseurs to be the finest procurable.\nThe most critical palates and the most sensitive digestions can use G. H. Mumm's Selected Brut and \"Exera\nDry\" without unpleasant after effects.\nMumm's Champagnes may be procured at any hotel,\nbar, club or cafe.
