The proceedings were opened by Parker Williams, who spoke on the motion of the lender of the Opposition, censuring the ministry for thoir action ln connection with Ris Honor's non-assent to the Immigration Bill of last session. Mr. Williams attacked the Liberal party, singling out Ralph Smith as the most perfidious of them all. He contended that Mr. Smith had been satisfied with . a restriction of the Japanose Immigration Into British Columbia and had admonished the province to deal with conditions aa they found them. **»y The Dominion Government had al- ^S 1^ 51 Y\ C lowed fishing companies to get ma- ]Tj J J Q^ \mj ^ uopolles and then employ practlcal- 1 !y none but Japanese This had oc- —y cm-rod in Mr, Smith's constituency ^C 16i Q 1T\ Cm at Cowic,lan Bov where a monopoly Ij I IfdLJr) was glven Mnda of t*a party. •Na* *- * *~ f* '■' Friends of the party also secured the sole right to the whaling ln the Wo nre Stocktaking, ami ns there straita o( Georgia. will.be lota of I Ho a(lv,se(1 tho adoptlon of amlll. imum wage aa a means of checking tho difficulty encountered.

The football club held a most successful concert und dance in the Opera House on Saturday evening. A strong programme had been arranged, and the hall was comfortably filled, whon Mr. W. 0, Simpson opened the proceedings. Mr. J, Curtwright was called on first, and his rendering of "The Harp that Once Through Tarn's Halls," on the English concertina, was deservedly encored. Mr, •Allester followed witli tlounod's Ave Maria, on the violin, which also was enthusiastically received. Mr. Joseph Sanderson noxt sang in his usual pleasing manner and. Mr. Molyneaux, in his best vein, gave a robust rendering of ••When Other Lips." Mi's. K. White sung prettily, and a song from Mr. Gunner .lacobson wus also heartily greeted, Miss McMillan sang "Caller IJerrin," in charming style, and, being encored, responded w th "Coming Thro' the Rye." Mr. J. Q. Brown met with a merited encore for thc first song, nnd replied with a Scotch dialect to the tune of "John Peel." Mr. H. Thornley pleased everybody with u recitation, and Alex. Strung made his debut us a singer. With '.'Drinking.';* Mr. T. Lewis brought the programme \0 nn end. In winding up this part of the proceedings, Mr; Simpson touched upon the question of Mainland players competing in the island League. Tlie game us ho understood it was intended to develop local talent. That was why he was associated with it, But Nanaimo aud Y.M.C.A. were now playing men who had already played in the first rounds of tho B. C. ohampionship on the Mainland. Ho believed that the players now appearing for the Y.M.C.A. had gone to Victoria in the legitimate way of business, to earn their bread and'bnt ter. But he wus not se. sure uibout tho men playing for Nanaimo. The question would be taken up on February 8th, nnd they would learn who- ther or not these men were eligible in Island games, if they were, then Ladysmith would have lo go after men. They wero willing to play home talent; but if their competitors adopted other methods, they would have to do all they could to secure success. The floor was then cleared for dnnc ng, and for two hours, from ten till close on midnight, thc dancers footed it merrily. The entertainment was a great success and the chili's finances are much tho healthier for what was takvn at thc game and tho Opera House. GREAT F-LEErT OF COLLIERS IN 'FRISCO. Delays occasioned by Overflow of Australian Coal' Cause Actions For i'omurrago. The block of the coal fleet at San Francisco is growing and owners of tlie steamers, which are unable to lischnrge their cargoes brought from Newcastle, are commencing suits for demurrage. For being delayed thirteen days ln gotting a berth to discharge cargo, $2,52(i is being asked in the courts at San Francisco on behalf of the British steamer Bank- lelyh, whose charter provided for the discharge of COO tons a day following her arrival. The German ship R. C. Rlckmers Is also suing for demurrage, suit being brought against Evan C, Evans against whom the action of the Banklclgh Is also brought, for $1,096 for seven days demurrage. At the present time twenty-two vessels, with over 100,000 tons of coal, aro in San Francisco Bay. Nine of them are discharging 37,000 tons of coal nt various bunkers and thirteen are lying out in the stream awaiting a chance to land their cargoes. Sixty five vessels with coal' ure either land ing at Newcastle, Australia or are on their way from that place with coal in addition lo vessels almost daily arriving from other places. The purchasers of the Australian coal are reported to have lost heavily on this business. When the shortage occurred last winter a large number of contracts wero mode for Australian coal, too many for the requirements of the coast and the result has beon that tho market has beon seriously glutted nnd tho Australian coal is being sold at San Francisco for less than it cost to lay tho enrgoos down at the Bay city. Another effect of the block hns been to bring into sorvico some dis- ongagod vessels which have beon lying Idle at Oakland. The Algoa, which has been ls*ing idlo for a year was brought into service to take tho cargo brought from South America by the Kosmos liner Dendcrnh, for which space is not available on shore. EMPLOYEES MUST NOT DRINK. BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 25, - It is ofllcinlly announced today that hereafter employees of the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad having anything to do with the direction of running trains will not be permit, ted to use intoxicants at any time, either when on. or off duty. Any persons using such beverages will not be employed. This action hns been taken by the officials of tho railroad in nn effort to reduce tho number of nccidonts. SENSATION IN THE GREAT DRUCE CASE. LONDON, Jan. 25.—The Druce case Which has been so prolific of sensations today offered still another. Tho solicitor for George Hollanby Druce, who claimed to be the son of tho Duke of Portland, in the lat- ter's dual personality pf Thomas C. Druce, and as such to be heir to the title and estate, today mado public the correspondence he has had with the prosecution in which ho asks that official to assist him in locating the offer by Miss Mary Patterson of Now York, but which has fa!Ion into tho hands of a man purposing to be his representative In a letter to George Hollanby Druce, Miss Patterson said she had a nura-| ber of letters by T. C. Druce to her mother in which he referred to himself as the Duke of Portland. Geo. M. Druce sent Miss Fatteraon money to come to England, but, according to her later lettors, a man representing himself as an agent of George H. Druce's solicitor, called on her and got tho letters. The solicitor is anxious now to flnd the letters as he says they are necessary to the defence of MIbs Robinson, Miss Mary Robinson is said to be an American woman, the daughter of a soutnern planter. She recently testified during the progress of the Druce case that she knew Druce as the Duke of Portland; that Charles Dickens told her that Druce was the Duke of Portland, and that Druce himself afterwards confirmed the statement. Miss Robinson was arrested Jan. 17 on a warrant charging her with perjury. PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE. House Yesterday Entered Upon the Ordinary Business of tho Session—Many Matters Introduced. (From Our Own Correspondent) VICTORIA, Jan. 28.-In the Legislature yesterday the ordinary business of the session was entered upon. The longest discussion on any une subject was that on the second reading of the bill to provide, for the government exempting from taxation for a period not exceeding ten years, railways in tho province. In introducing the second reading, Hon. fi. G. Tat low explained that the question had been brought to his mind first ' J. Hill at St. Paul. The latter had stated that while he believed tho time was past for the bonusing of railway lines in the province yet he thought something might be dono in this way to permit of the new lines getting in a position to pay their way. Tho proposition had been made for a portion of tho V.V. & E., in view of the fact that early construction would be gone on with. The E. & N. extension had also been brought before them and exemption asked. It had been agreed by the compdur to begin work at once in view W provisions being made to grant exemption. It might, he suggested, be found advisable to do something along this line with tho G.T.P., provided immediate construction waa proceeded with. J. A. Macdonald took exception to the bill. He could not see why the companies should not come to the Legislature if they had any propos tion to make. He disapproved of putting the government into the hands of the Lieut. Governor in Government. Premier McBride pointed out that it was impossible to place before the Legislature the proposals of the companies. These were not in shape. The debate was adjourned on mo* tlon of Parker Williams. The decision of the speaker on the resolution Impeaching the Lieutenant Governor, introduced by Mr. Hawthornthwaite, was not given, in the absence from tho Houso of the member for Nanaimo. A bill introduced by Dr. Halt, passed its second reading. This seekB to amend the Masters and Servants Act so as to give employees the right to select their own doctor. A bill was presented from Thos. Patterson and others, asking for a bill to incorporate the Alberni Light and Power Company. The private bills committee reported recommending an extension of time for the presentation of petitions for private bills until Feb. 10th. The committee also reported tho bill to incorporate tho Ladysmith Lumber Company, Ltd. Hon. Dr. Young introduced tho bill to incorporate tho university for thc province in which nre set forth the regulations governing the formation of such a central body as shall have charge of the higher education in tho province. Premier McBride introduced a bill to provide for a ohange in the number of ministers. He proposes to divide the Lands and Works department, making a Chief Commissioner of Lands, and a Minister of Public Works. The bill to provide for a civil service system was introdueied by the Provincial Secretary. ...John Oliver asked in the House: 1. What colliers are operated in TWO GAMES FOR SATURDAY Two league game* will be played here uu Saturday afternoon. Toe lirst will be between the Nanaimo aud home Junior elevens. The local youngsters have played with hard luciy so far this season, for in both the matches they have played they at least deserved a draw. It ia expected tbat on Saturday they will turn the tables on their Nanaimo rivals. They are all in line shape, and they should clap on pressure from tho lirst toot of the whistle. Tho seniors are down to meet the J.B.A.A. boys. The latter won out in the Victoria city league and never suffered delcat until they met Xanaiino on Jan. 4. Two weeks later the Nanaimo boys went down to Victoria and administered a more severe trouncing to the Capital favorites- on their own ground^ Of course it Would be loolish to underrate the visitors on account of these performances. It is the team which is desperate after points that puts up the surprises in football. The boys are therefore making efforts to keep in shape, and -with McKinley back in his old place, the champions sliould easily annex tho two points at stake. The kick-off will tako place at 2.46 p.m. The teams will line up as follows: Juniors. Goal— Delcourt. Dncks— Fagan and Beattie. Halves— Kerr, Wright, and Wilkinson. Forwnrds — T. Ashmoro, Lauder- back, Beattie, Wilkinson and Lauder- back. Seniors. Goal— McMillan. Backs— O'Connell and Howlett. Halves— Simpson, Morrison and McKinley.

It Is one of the most surprising things in titerature that, while the cult of Burns is universal, so little should be heard of his message to mankind. There are Burns' lovers, and Burns' clubs in every corner of the globe, They have their meetings and celebrations, and there <s no denying the enthusiasm display-id at these latter functions. But tho question may well be asked whether all thiB furious and noisy demonstra tion is advancing tho proper study of Burna, or according him the homage which is his duo. There is, indeed, some danger of these celebrations fastoning attention upon that feature of Burns' life and work which 1ms always been grossly exaggerated. Me was in truth thc poet of good-fellows, and no singer could more happily enshrine in verse tho very spirit of wanton mirth and abandon gaiety. It is true also that tho post did not always tread the path of sobriety. But all the same this part o! his work, as well as this side of his life, has been grossly and maliciously exaggerated. Burns was never a toper. He never had thc means to be one. The whole question can be reckoned up in pense. The chnrgea of drunkenness originated with a careless biographer, who never thoroughly appreciated the great genius of tho poet, and who never even took tho trouble to investigate tho statements ho mado. Burns was was after all only a peasant farmer and it was not necessary to observe the usual proprieties of biography. The leading literary lights of the time made the fundamental mistake of regarding thc favor as being all on their side. Not one of them perceived the poet's transcendant genius, or ever dreamt that glorious immortality awaited Mm: while they themselves remain mere names in a literary period, living only becauso of thoir connection with Burns. The poet still requires a biographer, a wrltor from his own class., to properly appraise tho mon and his work. Meantime, as -wo have said, the tendency of these celebrations and anniversaries Is to perpetuate a phase of the poet's work, and a weak ness in his character which, for tho most part, always havo been, and still are, grossly exaggerated. Mr. Hugh Fulton In his brief ad dress on Friday night, administered a strong corrective to this mistaken view of the poet. Hut, of course, the worthy president did not take near time enough for his purpose. About Burns' place in literature it would be difficult indeed to say anything new. It has been discussed by such wizards of the pen as Cnrlylo and Kosebery. Also it would he impossible to add nn original word to all that has been said of the poet's rhyme, bis mastery of his instrument, his passion for nature, the immortal beauty of his songs. Equally as surprising as his poetic powers is his advanced philosophy. In considering t his part of the poet's character full consideration must he given to tbe period in which he lived. Mis life lay In tlld closing years of the l-3th century, and flic worker today can hardly realize the dilleiences thnt one hundred years have produced. The democratic ediicutoi-H, the morning paper and the 'weekly magazine hnd not then been introduced. News travelled slowly, and tho workers in one part of the country knew little n- boilt their fellows in another part. Again lhe poet's reading was naturally very restricted. Even 1. he hnd leisure time, he had access to very few hooks, and it can only lie eluded thnt ho formed his own judgments. And first and last ho represented his clas.s. His voice was also raised against oppression and tho bigotry of the churches of the day called forth some of the most stinging epistles ever penned. Liberty for all and independence for the individual were his watchwords, and underlying it all was the basic be- fief in human brotherhood. The mistake should nover be made that Burns did not realize his own great genius. He was always conscious of it, and he was a better business man than many of his admirers give him credit for. But he did not write for money. He considered it prostitution of art, Nor could j ho seo how, if ail wore.brothers, one could profit at the other's expense. Burns was a failure at nothing, not even at farming. It was his principles, openly avowed in his poems, that stood between him and worldly success. Of course thero were indiscretions, too. But he never shifted his anchorage in man's inherent equality, his right to independence, and his obligations in fraternity. BONELESS MEATS ARE DANOEROUS.

OTTAWA, Jan. 27.-At the opening of the House last Friday afternoon Sir Wilfrid Laurier read tbe correspondence which last spring had pussed between Secretary of State rit Scott and l*-*aov- Dunamuir regarding the Natal Act passed by the British Columbia Leglalature. Ono telegram, addressed by Scott and'to DunBmulr on April 28, related to California, iht """Be1 declaration of McBride tanco today from the lake front to the city hall. Tbe parade proceeded but a ahort distance when Reltman, in the midst of thousands who were Jammed in the streets along the line of march, blocking all traffic, was taken Into custody by tho pollc*. The arrest of their leader seemed te give the marchers new Ufa rather than discourage them, and while he was being escorted to the city ball his followers marched on. When the crowds of unemployed gathered on the lake front this morning they formed a long line and waited for the "King of Hobo**" to give the signal to start. Several hundred were In Un* whan Reltman, standing out In front of the column, gave the word. Then the police charged the mob, scattering lt In all directions. Despite ths attack Reltman quickly and boldly formed another line with 3,000 men and marched triumphantly through the crowded street* until he waa nabbed by Chief Shlppy's men. The general attack threatened by the chief of police failed to materialize, This was probably due to the fact that the marchers were orderly, HoltMan succeeded in leading the Jobless man south ln State street, thence in Jackson boulevard to the federal building, before he waa stopped by a dozen detectives, who rush ed upon him from the sidewalk, Chlel of Police Shlppy personally led a squad of policemen to the federal building, where Reitmnn and hla tatterdemalions were gathered. Reltman refused to obey an order to stop marching. Several policemen flew at him, struck him savagely ln the lace and clubbed him over ths head. While Reltman waa being hammered, other policemen were wielding their night sticks right and left ln tbe crowds. Every street leading to the scene was choked by at least 25,000 people. , Chief of Polio* Shlppy mad* preparations to call out the entire police force If *uch action waa necessary to prevent the demonstration. Realizing that Ita plans would be interfered with by tho police, the leaders of the Socialist Party thi* morning made an effort to call the march off, but failed. The unemployed would not listen to" any change in the original plans and declared that they would show their strength ln spits of the police. When ths idle nun took thla stand Ben Reltman Issued a general order for the parade*. "We will inarch, and the police will not terrorize u*," declared Reltman.

Dr. Blngeman said that ln the fall of 1003 ha waa called to attend Harry Thaw In Pittsburg and treated him for nervousness and melancholy, after Thaw's first trip abroad with Evalyn Nesblt. Tha witness saw Thaw several times ln the Tomba after his arrest and defendant alway* referred to the Madison Garden tragedy as an act of providence.

It waa of Dr. Blngeman that District Attorney Jerome laid at the last trial whan Thaw's mental condition was under investigation: "I would rather have the testimony of an old family practitioner like this man than all ths expert* you could put on tbe stand. The prosecutor's cross examination today was very brief and courteous, After Br. Blngeman came the first of the foreign witnesses, Dr. S. R, Wells, of London, who was called to attend Thaw ln the British capital In the early part of 1899. Mr. Thaw was ln a very nervoua condition," said Dr. Wells, "His pulse was exceedingly rapid and he complained of pain* ln his head, I diagnosed his case as one of mental disturbances." On one of his visits hs said found hia patient in a highly excitable state despite the fact that his temperature was only 99 degrees. He feared that Thaw might harm himself. Thaw did not respond to treatment, even opiates falling, and Dr. Wells said he decided to Bend the young man to tho nursing association. On another visit he said he found Thaw dancing around the room Hks a mad man. He reported hi* case at the hospital as acute mania. Mr. Thaw at the hospital had an snor- inous room, continued Dr. Wells, but he complained that ho did not have room to breathe.

The Y.M.C.A. boys wore fancied in Victoria for tlio championship, but their chances of gaining the coveted honor are now mlghi-y slim. Thoy began their League seliaon by losing to ESqulmaK, tlie cloven which tho home boiVfl defeated by 8 to 0, and which the. Nanaimo club on Saturday turned down by 4 to 1. Tlio J.B.A.A. also have lost two matehes both to. Nanaimo, and it now. looks ns though nil throe'clubs aro outclassed by lho tiWO local teams. The Y.M.C.A, boys on Saturday, mado a creditable showing in spite of tho fact that thoy were short of throe of thoir regular players. However, two of the substitutes ployed up finely and the only weak place in tho team was at right half. Tho game, on tho \vhllo, was very evenly contested and up to luilt timo honors wore even. The champions, perhaps hnd most of tlio play, and thero should at least have boon cue goal scored, llu-t tho visitors have a, couple of fine sprinters in thoir vanguard, and several times the goal was in danger. In tho second half tlio champions had certainly tho best of matters, ■and on the play they deserved more than their lead, Not that the via. tors over slackened up or for a moment relaxed their efforts. Thero was always the chance of a breakaway, and with such sjieody forwards thero was always danger, It was on ono of those occasions, that a littio trouble arose. Mr. J. G. Brown, on the request of tho homo placers, was refereeing the game. Ho had discharged his duties in an impartial manner and to tho satisfaction of all except thoso who can never see their side in tho wrong. Tho second half had boon in progress over half an hour -when. Sherritt raced away with tho ball. Ho was clear away and was just approaching the penalty lino when A. Morrison back char-red him. The charge was delivered, as near as the Standard man could Judgo about 4 foot from tho penalty line, and naturally the player camo down partly inside the lino Mr. Brown at onco awarded a penalty kick. It was a grave mlstako, and it was aggravated by tho fact that Mr. Brown consulted neither his Hnesmon, who wero both in bettor position to judge than himself. In the end ho hail no cither alternative but to stand by his decision. H should always be recognized thut the referee is the final arbiter in tho gamo, and many a referee, even if ho hat) lilundored as badly as Mr. Brown, would havo ad- nptoil drastic measures under tho pro vocation ho received. He gave his decision too hastily; hut no referee of any bacbhono will buckle down to an angry demonstration either from players or spectators. ■For acme minutes there was pandemonium on tlie field and it really looked, as if what had been as clean , and interesting a game as anyone ecu Id wish to seo, would be broken up. However, tho field" wns cleared, tho kick taken, a goul scored, and tho Tame opened again. For somo minutes the hoano players wero obviously rattled, hut gradually they, sottlod down to their work again and secured another, and a. whining goal. It was about a quarter to three when play was commenced. Tho champions were first of all subjected to the camera oriiool by Mr. Knight, and then to tho toot of Mr. Brown's whistle, the teams lined up as follows: Ladysmith. Goal—1>. Morrison. Backs—O'Connell and Howlett, Halves —. Simpson, Morrison Hailstones. Forwards —Grainger, Strang, am, Graham and Sanderson. Y. M. C. A. Goal-Whyte. Backs—Ferrio and Struthors. Halves—Hill, Johnson, Thaclwray. Forwards—Morton. Young, Sheritt W. Sheritt, J. Worwold. Adam kicked oil and tho ball was takon down on the left, Strang sending in an easy shot which Whyto cleared. Tho visitors in turn raced up field and Wonnald sent over. Graham and Sanderson were- next busy, but Struthors relieved, Victoria cam« up from the tho kick, Arthur Morrison heading out of the press. Jimmy got tho ball and sent out to Sanderson, tho latter Ing over. Then came a narrow escapo of tho home goal. Tho visitors from a rush up field sent In an easy shot. Don fum-bled in clearing nnd was tackled ■before ho could got the ball away. It was a near go. The Victorians pressed fur somo minutes, the ball being twice sent over by the right wing and onco by the* left. Tlio homo boys at length broke away, Sanderson receiving a fine pass from Graham. Whyto cloared an easy shot, and then Jimmy banged over. A foul against Hailstone lot Ihe Victorians In again ami Hewlett kicked out to savo from a rush by the right wing. From a free kick for hands against Ferris, Hewlett placed finely ln front of goal, but Whyto -was all thero and play drifted again Into mid field. Alter some oven exchanges the home boys broke away again. Grainger got down on the right and centered with his usual precision. Thore was an oxcltlng rally tu front ofthe goal, Jimmy, Joo and Sandy nil hav ing a chip in; but Whyto nnd his backs kopt their colors flying. Tho ball was lost ovor the goal line, and -ndwne!!

The Victorians got down on the left, aided bv a foul against Simpson, who wus unable to sat sfy the referee with his throws-ln. Struthors und O'Connell noxt took to exchanging kicks, the visitors eventually getting down and forcing n corner. They continued to press, a foul for handling bringing relief to th" homo defence.

There followed a grout scrimmage in front of goal, during which tho excitement ran at fever height. Thrco corners In succession, all of which wore finely placed by Grainger, came to tho home players, and it looked odds on a goal. Once the ball struck the Inside of the post, but still Whyte managed to clear. Finally the ball was sent over, but there came another rally, without, however, any score coming. After a run down by Victoria, Adam got going in the centre. Ho got round the bacljs with tho assistance of Grainger, but In the end shot weakly. Whyto throw away, and tho Victorians ran straight dawn tho field. 'Hewlett tackled, but banged the ball up again the inside right. Tlie ball bounced back and Martin raced away with it. He centred well and Bun was unable to clear. Arthur got in just in the nick of time, and kicked out. Tho locals again came away, Adam going up on the right. Struthers fell in tackling and'Adam raced away He was unable to get through himself; hut Graham got the hall, and scored with a lino shot. The visitors wero in no way disheartened, and after play hod beer going a minute or two, Sheritt, the contre, got -through. He had the heels of both O'Connell und Hewlett, and could pretty near have dribbled through. However, ho was obviously afraid of being overtaken, with the result that ho shot too early and missed. Then the locals went up again, twice, losing tho ball ovor. The Victorians next caine down, through a misunderstanding between Sanderson and Hewlett, Sheritt got through. Arthur Morrison brought him down close to the penalty line, and thore followed the Incident of tho ijenalty goal already referred to. Thoro was now only twenty minutes to go, and for a minute or two tho visitors had things pretty much their own way, on ono occasion, the outside loft missing an easy chance i of scoring. Gradually, however, tho home boys settled down and made desperate olTorts to draw ahead. Thoro elforts were scon rewarded. Adam started un his own and got right up. He overran the ball Ing, and by steady work held off the pressure for almost half an hour. " ■ " It was of play that brought ' S.T1 uu,£ ttbout the point.

If the Ladysmith seconds continue to show tho form they displayed against the local Wanderers yesterday, their chances for once again carrying off the Vancouvor Island championship honors In tho intermediate division look vory promising.

Ills piny was much below its usual standard and though tho Ladysiualth team won out as a result of one of their forwards deliberately pulling Walker away from the goal, the Na. naimo custodian seldom handled tho ball as he has been Been to do in past matches.

Tho play was now almost always In tho visitors' territory with their defense all working hard keeping their opponents out. Nanaimo forwards passed back and forth, sfg-eagged this way and that shot over the bar half a dozen times, and finally secured an opening and Johnnie drove the ball through, following 28 minutes' play. Esquimalt renewed the contest as though they were top dogs and with about ten minutes to go, made their, only point though it was not the re-. suit of good play, being rather i fault of the Nanaimo back Hewitt, who was whistled on for jumping for once seen that tho local man had no chance against Howell, who looked anywhere from 10 to 16 pounds heavier than his opponent.

Tho great gome between the two rival boarding houses, tho Temperance and Now Western, was played on Sunday afternoon. A respectable crowd turned out to witness the match,, and everybody was satisfied that such on exhibition of football has never been seen on the new grounds. The Temperance men won out by four clear goals, 'hut they hardly deserved such a lead. It wob their defence that saved thom. Fulton showed them how the Rangers touch a man to chop, block and tackle. His fearless tackling cost him two heavy falls, but he always got the hall oven if he didn't always know whero. Bloomer of Derby was also a noticeable filgure, being as sHppory os an eel, especially whon his cap dropped off. Also the Carlisle United man was all thero when the ball struck him, and the goal keeping on both sides was a feature of the pluy. The Belfast man was as bulky as any man that has ever been on tho ground, but he is rather short in his powers of locomotion. Thero were only two men hurt, which was perhaps the most 'surprising thing of all, considering how fearlessly evory man played, and how little somo of thom know of the game. The Temperance men were naturally elated at their victory, and half a doz- of thom wore observed to proceed direct to Rumming's or thereabouts to celebrate. i A QINIRAL BANKING.

The local ,ly of this city, dashed In and had it tho scales with tho aid of a piece of up tho running, without, however, hoys havo this to say as the cause not been for Graham's speed, would cork, The surfeit waa discovered, speed and unsolflshness in tho stages, but like M- ™«t of the forwards did not appoar to be in tho game in a dangerous way in tho second period. Considering thnt Conner, their star little centre half; Clarkson, tho regular back, and Finlay, their best inside right man woro absent, Esquimalt put up a creditable fight. All these three men are among the best In thoir positions on the Island, and only those who have experienced it. know full woll how such men are missed. The task seems a double cue, and on a strango ground, is more difficult still. Tho Esquimau team has experienced unusual hard luck in both thoir games away from home, for at Ladysmith in the early part of the month tho team was.in a crippled state. The home team, from goal to vanguard put up an effective game. Bradshaw had a pension in goal.

Farmer was disabled right at the start by an accidental kick which hindered his play to some extent.

It's too bad that ill boded for him from such strapping players as Grainger and Simpson. "As to Jumping clear of the ground —Is that fair charging?" Really that ends it all! The referee, no moro than the Standard man saw no jump. It was only tho argus-cyed Free Press man that saw it and the rough play, and tho intimidating methods, and, according to his invincible logic, it follows that all was as hc saw It, or as he chooses to say ho saw it. It does not follow that because the Standard man saw no rough play that thoro was nono. Oh no. It Is only whnt the Free Press man sees that follows. Ho is tho man with the facts. Only his eyes aro straight: onlv his Judgment in- fnlllblo. In conclusion wc would only say that no excuse is necessary for a charge. Wo would nover have thought of giving such an elementary piece of information had not tho Free Press man asked for it. We still say that tlio players cherish no hard feelings, and our defeat is not to bitter a pill to swallow. Wc can take defeat better than tho ^Freo Press man can apparently tnk*e victory.
