BROWN, LIMITED Phone 1076 80 Broad St. THE ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN What Victorians Will Express Their Opinions Upon With the Ballot at the Forthcoming Federal Election The general elections for the House of Commons will be held on November 3. While it is yet possible to take a moderate view of the considerations that will enter into the campaign, "Progress" will endeavor to present a few points, which the voters of this city would do well to consider. Before doing so, it wishes to warn the people against being misled by imaginary issues. There is no question of corrupt administration before the electorate. Happily for Canada, the eight years during which Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been in office have been singularly free from anything like a corrupt use of power. It would be folly to ask people to believe that nothing done by the government has been open to criticism. We have not yet reached perfection in politics, and, if we may judge by the past, the Conservatives are not likely, if returned to power, to give the country an exhibition of it. Men are men all the world over, and fall short of their ideals, but taking one year with another and one act with another, the people of Canada can with just reason congratulate themselves that the eight years of Liberal rule have been clean years. s Neither is there any issue between the Province and the Dominion as to financial relations. We complain in this Province that we do not receive what we are entitled to. Let us admit the truth of this claim. There is absolutely no reason to suppose that the Conservative party, if in power, would be in any greater hurry to do what we think is only justice than the Liberals have been. Any change in the financial relations of this Province.to the Dominion would- involve a, readjustment of the relations with the other provinces, and neither party has intimated any intention of opening that question. These two matters may therefore be at once eliminated from the discussion. When last appealed to by the two parties, the people of Victoria elected a Liberal. The first question which suggests itself naturally is: Have they any reason to regret what they then did? In view of what has transpired in this constituency during the past three years, if the electors had to decide the matter over again would they do otherwise than they did then? In other words, has it not been a good thing for Victoria that one of her representatives at Ottawa has been a Liberal? It certainly has been of advantage to have a representative in the confidence of thc government during the agitation for fish traps and while the filling of the James Bay flats was in progress. There is probably not a man in Victoria who will not admit that Mr. Riley's work for the constituency has been good and that it has been a distinct advantage to Victoria to have had him representing us at Ottawa. A second question is; Do not the people of Victoria approve of the railway policy of the government? This policy has secured the construction of a second transcontinental railway, which will incidentally open for development a large "and very valuable part of this Province. The attitude of the Conservatives towards this epoch-making enterprise is hostile, and they are not agreed upon any alternative. Is it not in the interest of this city that this railway should be constructed as soon as possible, and is its construction likely to be promoted by the election of a Conservative? This is a fair statement of the case to which no one can take exception, and it is a matter of exceedingly great importance to this Province and to Victoria. No other question can be suggested that at all compares with it so far as the future of the Province is concerned. A third question relates to the fiscal policy of the Liberals. No important changes have been made in the tariff since those which Mr. Fielding introduced in 1897. Meanwhile-the commercial interests of the Dominion have immensely expanded. There is no such record of increase in the history of any other country. How much of this is due to the tariff, no one can say; but as there is no means of testing the working of a tariff except by watching the course of trade, and noting the general condition of the people, it must be admitted that, while perhaps in sonic lines and in some localities things might have been better, on the whole the country has prospered under the Fielding tariff. There has been a great increase in the annual expenditure, but thc money has been raised under what was intended to be a lower rate of taxation. The people have paid more money into the treasury than ever before, but they have not felt the burden of taxation any more heavily than before. What is true of British Columbia is true of the whole Dominion. We undoubtedly pay more money per head towards the revenue than the people of any other province, but we do not feel what we pay any more than they do; the reason being that we live better. Tf we did not buy thc things which pay duty or excise, wc would not pay so much. So it is throughout Canada, the people have paid more because they have been able to pay more. Having abundance of revenue, the government has expended it, the amount devoted to the reduction nf the public debt not being very large relatively speaknig. Do the people of Victoria approve of the policy of expending liberally when the revenue is buoyant? Or do they think the expenditure should have been kept down and the money have been used in the reduction of the debt? Canada is a growing country, and a country that is growing must be treated liberally in the matter of public expenditure. But there the question is, and it is one of the matters that voters are called upon to consider. , There will hardly be any divergence of view as to the attitude of the Liberal party towards the Mother Country and the Empire at large. Some people may think that they might have gone further, but the British preference was a step which must commend itself to every man who believes in promoting the solidarity of the Empire. Necessarily the attitude of the Conservatives on the question of inter-Imperial trade is not as well defined as that of the Liberals, because being in opposition they are not to be expected to make any binding and definite announcement, but generally speaking while the Conservatives believe any steps taken towards closer trade relations should be predicated upon the adoption by the United Kingdom of the protective policy, the Liberals believe each part of the Empire should be left free to determine what is best for itself, and that trade questions between the various parts should be a matter of arrangement. In other words, the Liberals hold that the best plan is to leave each part of thc Empire absolutely free to do what it thinks best in its own interests in trade matters, always having in view the great desirability of extending and enlarging inter- Imperial commerce; the Coriser*'atives prefer to begin thc work of effecting closer trade relations,by a fiscal revolution in thc United Kingdom, and after that a strict system of reciprocity. We think this is a fair statement of the case, and presents it in a manner that will enable readers to decide which view of it they prefer. Wc think the above observations fairly well cover the ground upon which the campaign will be fought out. There will be many minor matters but these are thc principal things that people think about when they give their attention to Dominion politics. We do not think that a case can be made out for a change in thc sentiment of this city, and that as it went Liberal when last appealed to it ought logically to go Lib-' eral again. «-■■-■ ■«..» a._.-_a s.-a.j—i.^>.s.Ai^^. ■--i._s» j**A--^.-A--a-^A«jaj * * I Random Reflections V lull ill I11I11I1 lull ill ilnliilnlnliih 1I1 ill iii lull 1I1 lnliili^i* THE quail will now proceed to quail. *■■*'•'• HERE is where thc grouse takes a much-needed rest. * * * AS VET the Japs do not appear to have learned enough English to "regret to report." * • * MUKDEN despatch says the Russians have recovered their spirits—fallen back on the canteen as it were. .1 * *. * IT IS a man with no love in his ^--v^v^vvvw™... breast for the pipes that declares higti- oTTnnfToToTmroToTn^^ is merely Chinese for high- lander. * * * COLONIST had a local item the other day headed "The Big Scoop."

Jones, the Dominion government auctioneer, to whom the sixty odd pictures have been consigned from Toronto for unreserved sale. Landscapes of note predominate although there arc a few conspicuously good portraits and figure paintings by artists of celebrity. The signatures are world-famous and the artists' valuations on thc individual pictures range from $25 to $650, although they are being sold in many cases at but a fraction of the value. The opportunity to see and acquire real treasures from the brushes of famous masters is one which Victorians but seldom have brought home to them. PROGRESS, SATURDAY, OCT. 1, 1904 Art at The Exhiition. Miss Webling's Miniatures The Centre of Attractions— ftiss Pemberton's Noted Oils. It is a pleasure to congratulate the management of thc Agricultural Association upon the increased prominence given in this year's. exhibition to art treasures and the artistic element, the collection in oils of Miss Sophie T. Pemberton being to very many the great attraction of the fair, but their satisfaction being crowned by the discovery that in miniatures by Miss Ethel Webling there had been provided subjects for even more enthusiastic and unqualified admiration. Unhappily neither Miss Pemberton's nor Miss Webling's pictures enjoy a light in which they can be seen to any advantage'. Probably there was no quarter of the exhibition building designed for the acceptable presentation of such treasures. Handicapped by insufficient and ill-placed light the pictures naturally lose half their charm: They are, however, distinctly worthy of a visit and of inspection in any light, and "Progress" can but advise those who have not yet seen them not to allow to-day to pass without taking advantage of the last remaining opportunity. Of Miss Webling's miniatures a critical writer has contributed the following to a local daily; it ,s so workmanlike a tribute to the little gems that it is reproduced: i here is now in Victoria the most wonderful collection of miniature paintings every brought to tbe West. Indeed' it would be difficult lo find in either London or Paris so representative a collection tlie work of a single artist. The artist is Miss Ethel Webling, of London, England, and her work, covering over eighty subjects, is on view at the Provincial Exhibition. Miss Webling's miniatures are endowed with all the strength, breadth and freedom of large oil paintings. Looking at them one can not help feeling that if a glass could expand any one of these 'pictures in little' to thc size of Van Dyck's, they would appear to have been painted for that proportion. She possesses in a rare degree the divine gift of entering into close sympathy with her subject. Up and down the varied scale of humanity—from the inscrutable Rodin to the open innocence of Felicity Tree —each portrait is clearly and indelibly stamped with character—each tells to thc world its tale of strength or weakness, and expresses the personality of the sitter. Miss Webling studied at thc Slade School, London, and Professor Herko- mer's School at Bushey, and has enjoyed the personal friendship of John Ruskin and thc great artist who has just died, George Frederick Watts,R,A. Indeed, the wonderful miniature of Ruskin that forms part of thc great collection was painted from studies and sketches made by Miss Webling when Ruskin was visiting her home in London. The portrait of Watts here shown is a replica of one for which he gave special sittings, and which so pleased him when completed that he bought it and presented it to his wife. Those who best know Watts know how next to impossible it was to get a sitting from him, a privilege which Millais, Lord Leighton, P.R.A., and other great artists sought in vain. The collection also shows a miniature painted by Miss Webling at the special request of Watts from his own famous life-size painting of Tennyson, now hanging in the National Portrait Gallery. "Among the women's portraits is one of the great beauties of England, Lady Beatrice Pole-Carew. Thc queenly Eve lyn Millard is shown, and vivacious La Loie Fuller. Two groups that one loves to linger over and whose very contrast stimulates the imagination are those oi Miss Laurence Alma Tadema (daughter of the great painter), and Miss Lucy Weblnig. "Particular attention may be called to the rendering of the hair in these and other subjects. The heavy blue black cloud of Miss Laurence Alma Tadema, the silky locks of Jocelyn Watts, and the flaming aureole of Felicity Beerbohm Tree. "Miss Webling's miniatures of children are particularly happy. "In addition to the names already mentioned, the collection includes portraits of Tolstoi, Joseph Jefferson, the veteran actor, Paderewski, Eleanore Dttse, Beerbohm Tree, the late Franklin McLcary, Miss Grace Warner, Miss Ellis Jeffries, Miss Agnes Garrett, Edmund Clarence Stedman, the American poet and critic, Walt Whitman, Susan B. Anthony, Flinders Petrie, the Egyptologist, the Hon. Mrs. Gerald Wellesley and her little son, and two especially beautiful portraits of Miss Edith Den.- man, daughter of the late Judge Dert man, and many others. With respect to Miss Pemberton's pictures, "Progress" cannot share the general and unqualified enthusiasm of many. They assuredly show much breadth, sympathy, impressionistic skill, and facility in vivid coloring. But they do not carry their stories direct to the heart, defying criticism and analysis. In portraiture and figure painting Miss Pemberton is most successful, although her symbolic "Spring" and "Autumn" are very admirable compositions, exhibiting none of the faults which might be picked in "John a 'Dreams." For the following detailed review of Miss Pemberton's exhibited work, "Progress" makes it acknowledgments to The Colonist, to whose columns'it was originally contributed^ "The collection at present on view consists of sonic thirty oil paintings, representing some of her later work; many of the pictures have been exhibited in the Royal Academy aud Salon, as well as provincial exhibitions in England. Besides these larger and more ambitious works, there are some most charming studies in water color of the native flowers of British Columbia, which may froiii their association appeal to the taste of some more nearly than perhaps the foreign subjects. "In thi| collection, however, there are pictures of all kinds, and it might be said of almost all styles. To begin with the highest—portraits, the most notable is the admirable likeness of Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere, whose personality lias become dear to all who have been brought into contact with him during | his only too short term of office. This picture is exhibited at the special request of his honor. The modelling of the head is most excellent and will doubtless recall the portrait exhibited some years ago by Miss Pembt.ton of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Cridge. Of figure ! pictures there are several. Especially I worthy of close attention arc the series of three entitled respectively "Spring," , "John a 'Dreams" and "Autumn'" " 'John a 'Dreams' represents a young girl sitting on the grass in the chequered shade of some unseen trees, reading aloud from a book on her lap, while a boy lies at her feet, his chin on his hands, apparently listening, but obviously indulging in visions of his own. The bright sunshine contrasts admirably with the full foliage of the trees on the far-, ther side of the glade beyond them, proclaiming a perfect summer's day. This series is painted in a very broad, bold manner, and in the open air entirely, and shows very clearly the influence of the French school on Miss Femberton'S; style. The coloring is subdued and the relations between light and shade most subtly rendered. The pictures 'A Country Lass,' No. 4, and 'A Moral Philoso pher,' show the same mastery of outdoor effects of light and shade. "Amongst other figure pictures remarkable both for their modelling and coloring are 'A Spanish Beggar,' and a 'Roman Centadina,' a most daring scheme of color and as powerful and carefully painted is a portrait of a Chelsea pensioner in his scarlet coat. "Of interiors there are a number, which range from the'gorgeous interiors of Roman churches like the San Lorenzo and San Clemente to the dull colored and sombre Sligo cabin and Breton and Norman kitchens and workshops. These latter remind one of the work of Max Lieberman, that brilliant impressionist; who loves to depict the homes and lives of the humblest peasants and toilets. "Of landscapes there are many, which show that Miss Pemberton has followed the traditions of the Barbison ment and has studied natu're herself in the open air. Such charming effects of color as 'Sunshine Candebec' and 'Rain Cande- bec' and 'Willows' show what effects of sun and air and light and moisture are, if one has the talent to observe them and transfer them to canvas and will on sight inspire a desire to possess them. "The most charming of all the landscape studies is that of 'The Seine Early Morning,' a dream of pearl and opal sky and water and the tall poplars along the bank showing through the mist. Other pictures which show beautiful color effects are the 'Woods at' May field' and 'A Norman Courtyard.' The one still life shown, called 'Chrysanthemums,' exhibits a wealth of color and carefully worked out contrasts. Of the other art works at the exhibition, prominence must be given to one or two excelent portraits in oils by pupils of St. Anne's Academy; while Mrs. Herbert Kent shows a number of modest portrait and figure studies that call for attention. These are marked by romantic and somewhat sentimental treatment, but show good judgment in color, care in detail, and considerable native talent of a distinctly feminine order. Mrs, Kent's work is in the line of adaptation rather than strictly original composition, but in this respect it is not by any means alone. The great majority of the minor exhibited works are indeed unblushing copies, and curiously enough prizes have been awarded to these although they have been entered as "original." It would be interesting to have the association definition of the meaning of this much abused word. Mr. Pearce also shows some notable water colors. In photography the collection loaned by Curtis, Seattle, stands pre-eminent from thc art standpoint, the several studies of the vanishing race and of outdoor life being remarkable for their poetic and atmospheric values. Indeed this collection will richly repay an hour passed in critical admiration. In portraiture Mr. rl. Mortimer Lamb has many examples of artistic insight applied to photography. And still another art feature of the exhibition must be classed the table decorations, a new department of the competition for ladies, and one calling for the highest appreciation. Each of the decorated tables is eloquent of personality, and all are worthy of study. H£^L.' •KURQPAT TO NICK. Learning to Lay Eggs.—"Robt. Allison has a very motherly hen on his farm.

Once more "Progress" directs attention to the urgent necessity of having complete hydrographic surveys made of the British Columbia coast. The Grand Trunk Pacific people will do everything in their power to influence the Ottawa government to take immediate steps in this direction, and that influence will undoubtedly be very powerful. The fact that the new railway may come to one of the northern ports will of itself have a potent effect in expediting action along the necessary lines. But the people of this province ought to move actively in the matter, and not be content until the coast waters are rendered as safe for navigation as skill can make them. Commerce is increasing and will increase still inore rapidly. With a great augmentation of the fleet navigating these waters, the chances of serious accidents will multiply. All navigators are agreed that the knowledge that the best of them have of the dangers likely to be encountered is only fragmentary. They know the regular channel, that is the channel followed in the ordinary coures of travel, so that a voyage north is, barring the ordinary perils of the sea, as safe as a voyage in any waters in the world, except that more lights, and fog signals and buoys are needed. The reference is to the knowledge possessed by shipmasters of the waterways frequented by the regular lines of steamers. Outside of these there is a vast amount to be learned, and the sooner the government sets to work to obtain the information the better.

A NEW LAUREATE. Vancouver "Province" Presents B. C. With a Rapid Fire Songstress. The Vancouver Province has long enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most alert and enterprising journals of western Canada in its pursuit ot news that is not yet gamey. It has now added to its news-getting fame the laurel wreath which crowns the discoverers of the great poets of the race. Elizabeth Burnham is the name of the new Canadian laureate, and Mount Pleasant—so named before the circumstance of her birth cheated the home manufacturers—her place of abode. From the heights of her mountain home she catches the wireless messages of inspired thought, chains them to earth by means of a fountain pen (name will be inserted at ordinary advertising rates), and despatches them by street car without the necessity of transfer to the office of the Hastings street daily, where expectant thousands await their appearance on the bulletins' in order that they may learn the worst and have it over. Naturally the return of Pte. Perry has caused Miss Btirnham's Pegasus to rear to such an extent that there is serious danger of wire trouble for the telephone people. There is a Kiplingesque odor of martial cordite in the paen (not pain) wherewith she greets the conquering hero, as will be instantly recognized by the opening and soul-stirring lines: Hark! thc bugle calls, listen to the drums Ter-r-rum, ter-r-rum, ter-r-rum, ter-r- rum,ter-r-runi: See thc soldiers marching, each step ■with gladness fraught, They go to ivclcome Perry, of the Rifles of Connaught.

The Nanaimo Free Press bard for example is never content to hark with fewer that at least three exclamation marks. , And the tonal color of the rolling drum chord—"Ter-r-rum, ter-r-rum,' ter-r-rum, ter-r-rum, ter-r-rum!" Could anything be more accurately descriptive ? One can almost see the soldiers proudly marching by, with the gladness fraught attached to their legs! The complete poem is in seven verses showing pleasing diversity in size and thus proving the poet superior to any poetic union. The limitations of space, forbearance, and the fear of the copyright law interdict its reproduction in entirety, yet one cannot be denied the pleasure of republishing for the benefit of Victoria readers at least one more example of the new laureate's original and striking style; it is found in the fourth stanza: But, sec! the hero comes, they raise him high above the croivd, And bear him through the dascling streets, midst cheering long and loud; Whilst through the shouts of people and tiring of bombs, We have these strains victorious. "Sec thc conquering hero comes." Tt is perhaps here that Miss Bum- ham is at her best. The fine variation in practice in raising before the call will be noted with approval by the critical; while the businesslike disposition to get thc full value for the poetic license fee will also be cordially acclaimed by the economical and the commercial classes. There is moreover a the cramping rules and regulations of delicate and merry jest shining through the two concluding lines of the quotation, the true poetic instinct having permitted the writer to comment effectively upon Vancouver's recent crusade upon the vagrant classes, while giving offence to none, nor deteriorating in her art by too ready adoption of the patois of the day. Anyone who studies the lines a moment will quickly grasp their hidden beauty by taking the keynote of the final word, "comes." And the lilies as published look ever so much better than in the bald and literal: "Whilst through the shouts of people and the firing of thc bums. "Wc have these strains victorious. 'Sec the conquering hero comes.'" Hear!

The trees will interfere with each other's growth: they will lack sunlight and moisture and the nourishment of the soil. Puny, branchless trees will result: many will die. You will get a tenth of a crop of very poo)r quality of apples." % Set out your trees forty feet apart, £and each one will thrive, without trespassing upon its neighbor. Each will attain a symmetrical growth, with a deep, wide rootage, and broad low-spreading branches. That's the way the Lord intended apple trees to grow. This isn 't a disquisition upon apple trees. It's an allegory. Men are like apple trees—THEY NEED ROOM. The more room a man has the more he'll grow and expand and develop. That is one of the chief charms of the Pacific Coast; we have lots of room. "Room" is another way of saying :' opportunity." There are opportunities everywhere, but there are more of flieni to the square mile on the Pacific Coast than any where else in the world. For the same amount of effort, a man can get greater returns* here than any place else in the world. Why? The reason is simple. The resources are here, the raw material: wonderful, unguessed treasures of field and mine and stream. That doesn't mean that a man must be a farmer or a miner or a fisherman. These men take the raw material first and pass it on to the miller, the manufacturer, the merchant, the lawyer. When they prosper, everybody prospers. That's the first reason: resource. The second is elbow room. No matter what your business, the Pacific Const offers you an opportunity. It's a young, growing, uncrowned country, whose greatest need is men. And theres lots of elbow room. —From the September Pacific Monthly. The commonly accepted idea of the Czar has been that he is a mild sort of a young man, swayed hither and thither, but always in the wrong direction, by a lot of irresponsible advisers. A different view of his character is now being promulgated. He is represented as being essentially an autocrat, but at the same time as a moody, superstitious man, devoutly believing in spiritualism and such things, stubborn to an unusual degree, nervous and something of a physical coward—in short as about the most unsuitable person to govern an empire in a crisis as could well be selected. Whether this is any nearer the mark than the other view may well remain in doubt. Just now he is more in evidence than any other man in the world, and hence is likely to be pictured in as many lights as the ingenuity of writers can devise. The only thing certain is that he has made a bad mess of things. There has been a good deal of irresponsible talk about dissension in t'he ranks of both political parties of this city. Some people are unable to differentiate between a divergence of opinion and dissension. Of the former there has been considerable, but not more than is needed to keep public opinion healthy. When a party becomes passive in the hands of those who are temporarily its leaders, it becomes weak and disintegration is sure to ensue. Men fight side by side all the better for having first threshed out their little differences. The man who is counting upon his party carrying Vicotria because of supposed want of harmony on thc other side, is deceiving himself.

THE MEREDITH PLAN George Meredith, it seems, is opposed to the idea of marrying "for keeps." If there is a Mrs. Meredith it would add interest to the novelist's opinion if Iter's were forthcoming. When a man marries the wrong woman, he may be expected to object to the "till death do us part" portion of the contract; although there is a lot of wisdom in the saying which tells us that it is better to endure the ills we have than Hy to those we do not know anything about. The immortal dramatist, who made this observation originally, would probably have agreed with Meredith in thinking that there was such a thing as being married too long to the same person. . To the "marriage by instalments" plan there are several objections. Some of them are little ones— although we are not told whether or not children are to be permitted under the new regime . If they are not to . be eliminated, the proverbial wisdom of the child who knows its own father would be as foolishness compared to the appalling sagacity needed to keep track of family matters under the Meredith system. Then there are other complications which must arise. We will suppose that Mr. and Mrs. A. are married for a period that is to terminate this clay six months. Mrs A. will probably want another husband and Mr. A. another wife. Now it is reasonable to supose that Mr. A. would raise serious objections to anybody coming to court Mrs. A. during his tenure of the lady, and it is improbable that Mrs. A. would view with equanimity any attentions shown by Mr. A. to another. Again, if marriage by instalments is to be permitted, Lucy, let us say, may agree to marry Joseph for three years and William for the following three. Under these circumstances it is clear that William, having a reversionary interest in Lucy, would be entitled to invoke the protection of the court if he could make out a proper case, and when we grant this, we must also concede that the court might appoint a receiver for the said lady. The mind grows dizzy with contemplation of the infinite possibilities of Mr. Meredith's plan, and there is some satisfaction in knowing that it is not likely to be realized, except after the fashion rendered possible by the divorce laws in some of thc States of the American Union. The chief criticism to be made of the stock exhibit is that sufficient care is not taken to see that the cattle are well- groomed. This also holds good of the cattle exhibited at New Westminster. There is really no good reason for it. Cattle should, when exhibited, look as clean as horses. Of course the quality of an animal may not be improved from the breeder's point of view, by a slick coat and a few ribbons, but from the visitors' standpoint these things make a great deal of difference. The finest thing aoout any exhibition is the stock. More people will look at fine stock than at anything else, and not even horse races will attract attendance like a fine exhibit of clean and handsome animals. From the point of view of the box office, the proper grooming of animals is of the greatest importance. At the Victoria fair grounds a wide plank walk in the rear of the animals should be provided. In respect to the horses there is not room for criticism on the score of grooming, but there is a notable lack of attendants, or a descriptive card in lieu thereof, so that a visitor must be content with a look at an animal, which in many instances is completely blanketed. In short, enough is not made of the stock exhibit from the standpoint of the sight-seer. At some of the fairs in the East, attendants are always on hand to tell visitors about the animals in their charge. General Orloff is to be court-martial-' led. He is alleged to have been the cause of the loss of Liao Yang. Now we have been told that thc retreat of the Russians from that point was in ac-' cordance with a prearranged plan. If this is the case, what reason is there for punishing Orloff? Possibly it may be, as Vlotaire said of the shooting of Admiral Bing, to encourage the others.

Suppose the good fairy of our childhood's story book should come to Victoria and say to us that we might as a city have one wish gratified, what would we ask for? If a plebiscite were taken, "Progress" believes the answer would be: The development of Vancouver Island5 for its entire length by a railway. It is announced that there will shortly be a Dominion election, and one of the principal things which should determine the choice of a representative should' be his ability to promote the early accomplishment of that great necessary work. Such a railway is of itself a sufficient subject for the ambition of any man in Victoria. To bring about its construction it is necessary that some one shall, if need be, devote his time and influence to it. "Progress" does not know how far advanced are certain railway enterprises, whose field is to be this Island, but it does know that at present there is no reason to expect a successful issue from them, unless government assistance is forthcoming. If none of them are in a condition to warrant the government of the Dominion or the Province in dealing with them, then an effort should be forthwith made to enlist the co-operation of moneyed men. who can put forward a project that will command governmental support.

Phone 502 Famed Vinegars The Exhibition held in this city during the past week is conceded to have been superior in respect to the number and quality of entries to any ever held in Victoria. There is unmistakable evidence that the shows in this city are increasing in popularity and importance among exhibitors, although a very great deal remains to be done to make them attract visitors from nearby towns. This is an aspect of the case that time only can remedy. When once the exhibitions by a series of successes have demonstrated that they may be relied upon as worth coming to sec, we may look with confidence for a greatly increased attendance from outside poits. As yet it is too soon to expect results that will be altogether satisfactory :n this respect. The strongest feature of the present exhibition was the display of live -.tock, and this is as it ought to be, for improved live stock means more to the province than anything else in connection with farming. If the progress in this respect shown by the exhibits is at all representative of the advance in quality manifest throughout the district tributary to thc exhibition, there is abundant cause for congratulation. Comparing the horses and cattle with those shown when the present scries of exhibitions began, the improvement is marked. There were animals on thc show grounds that would have stood well beside the best stock in the older settled parts of Canada. In cattle there is evidence of more careful breeding, pure bred stock of the standard classes being present in large numbers. This is undoubtedly due to the many judicious importations that have been made in recent years. In draft horses the entries as a rule were high. Sheep and swine were more than up to the mark set by previous shows. Everyone in Victoria is particularly well pleased to do all in his or her power to advance the success of the exhibition which has monopolized public attention this week. Everybody cannot, however, quite understand the soundness of civic policy which suggests and sanctions the closing of virtually all business establishments during two afternoons when the city is filled with visitors aud when naturally the merchants would reap business advantages from the influx. There were many in Thursday's and Friday's crowds from up the line of the E. & N. and from the islands of the Gulf, who had intended devoting some portions of their afternoons in the city, to shopping, and it is regrettable from the merchants' standpoint, as well as that of the visitors' that they were practically debarred from doing so. Victoria's policy in this regard is otic of those things which the hustling visitor from Puget Sound endeavors in vain to comprehend. Brantford, Ontario, has led the way for Canada in the municipalization of its telephone system, which will hereafter be operated for the accommodation of citizens in the same matter as the water and electric light departments, a standard rate of $l per month being prescribed for residential phones. It is meet and proper that Brantford should take thc lead in this long step toward the popularization of the phone and stimulation of its general use, Brantford being the birthplace of the telephone. As announced in the last issue of this paper, the musical festival projected by Mr. Charles A. E. Harriss of Ottawa and conducted by that notable director, Sir Alexander Mackenzie concerning which so much has been said and written within recent months— will be carried out during the coming season. Details were considered and the decision to form a festival chorus in Victoria ratified at a special public meeting held in the city hall this week, Mr. John G. Brown presiding and the vocal talent of the city being well represented. The proposal of Mr. Harris, as already indicated in these columns, is as follows: That the chorus should attend to all the local expenses, which, from1 estimates given, would amount to about $6oo, roughly, which would include rent of hall, music., printing, piano hire and fees to local conductor. Mr. Harriss, under this arrangement, would have to allow something like 25 per cent, of the gross takings to the chorus, from which they would reimburse themselves. The estimated receipts, as based on the earnings from the last festival, are $2,000. Twenty-live per cent, of this would amount to $500. Mr. George Phillips was re-elected lion, secretary-treasurer, and a committee of twelve was appointed to deal with the general business of the proposed chorus. Mr. Gideon Hicks was elected conductor. Mr. Phillips told the meeting that he had already a guarantee fund amounting to upwards of $400, headed by the Lieutenant-Governor, lion, president, and the mayor, hon. vice-president, which would be forthcoming in case the affair resulted in a loss. Mr. Harriss has promised to provide a first-class orchestra, which he will bring with him; also first-class soloists, chosen from some of the leading singers in the Old Country. Sir Alexander Mackenzie, president of the Royal Academy of Music, will come out as conductor. The place selected for holding the festival is the Metropolitan Methodist church, as the drill hall is no longer available, and the theatre would not accommodate the chotirs of 200 voices. From a list of festival music submitted by Mr. Harriss, the local committee will make selection of the pieces adjudged most acceptable for local production.

Curiously enough the cash customer appears to have "got the worst of it" in dealing with the meat men heretofore, receiving no reduction in prices when buying and paying ready money, whereas thc purchaser on a monthly settlement basis obtained his goods at just ig-20ths of that paid by the casu customer—and had the use of his money while the butcher waited. It would take much argument to show just where the justice or the commercial policy of this method of doing business came in.

' A quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized last Saturday, afternoon at the jresidence of the bride's parents, 165 Fort (street, the principals being Mr. Ernest Melville Anderson, assistant curator of the provincial museum, and Miss Sophia Kathleen Cox, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Cox. ,The ceremony was performed by Rev. G. K. B. Adams of the Metropolitan chruch, in the presence of a number of near relatives. Miss M. Anderson acted as bridesmaid while Mr. A. Curtin supported the groom. The newly wedded pair, amid a shower of rise, left for Seattle to spend a short honeymoon, and on their return will take up their residence at 149 Fort stret. » * * Mr. Harry B, Shackelton of Ilkley, Yorkshire, England, has returned home, having left here about three weeks ago. His loss to the music-loving public is no small one. He has always been very pouular in the local oratorios and was a valued member of St. Andrew's (Presbyterian) church choir. He has now resumed his vocal and musical studies in the home land. Mrs. J. Morrison, wife of Governor Morrison of Idaho, has left for home, after a pleasant visit with Victoria relatives and friends, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Briggs expect to leave shortly for Nelson, where they will make their home in future. * * * Mr. Robert Grant, M.P.P. of Comox, spent the week in the city. * * * Hon. Captain and Mrs. R. G. Tatlow left on Sunday on their trip to England and Ireland. * * * Miss Bertha Cassidy has returned to Vancouver, her home, after a pleasant visit here of several weeks' dura- Mr. Leonard A. Gill of Vancouver has been spending a holiday with his family and friends here. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. McDonnell of Seattle enjoyed a pleasant visit to Victoria this week. An enterprising and progressive firm that is rapidly coming to the front, as will be noticed by their exhibit at the Agricultural Exhibition this year, is the B. C. Saddlery Co., Ltd. Their neat and not unnecessarily showy exhibit was arranged with good taste, and it took but a momentary glance for one to note that the quality of their goods was all that could be desired. It is worthy of notice that their familiar "general purpose" old grey mare has ehangjed her spots, and has now joined the ranks of the dark bays. The change is a good one, as on this color a good set of harness shows up to advantage. Horsemen snould make a point of taking a look at the new bit that is handled by the above company, which never rusts nor corrodes. It's a time-saver to those that like clean harness, and it should be hailed with delight by good horsemen. UP TO THE JUDGE. Colonist "Humor" Placed His Honor in Most Peculiar Position. F. 0. E. What with its foundationless attack upon Hon. Mr. Prefontaine, which had to be immediately repudiated both by the government and other Conservative organs, its puerile "Korea" fake, and other recent examples of local style, the Colonist is fast gaining a reputation for admirable unreliability, not to say red- cyed sensationalism. The News-Advertiser is disposed to act as an apologist, but the Colonist declines to be excused, as witness the following from the columns of the Vancouver paper with the footnote added by the Colonist in reprinting : " 'One of the stories of the recent holdup on the C.P.R., which appeared in the Victoria Colonist, contained a fictitious account of the actions of His Honor Judge Bole. The article related how he generalled the forces in the Pullman, and had the car barricaded with the seats. He then took a revolver and stood behind waiting for the hold-up men to come along the lighted vestibule, when he would pick 'em off, one by one, a la Leonidas and the forces of Xerxes in the pass at Thermopylae. Those who knew of the incident said that the story A change in the method of conducting meetings of the Victoria Eagles takes effect next Wednesday night. On that evening the regular weekly sessions will begin, and by resolution the local aerie has decided to be governed .by a programme of variation. The new plan provides that candidates for membership will only be received on two regular meetings, viz., on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The first Wednesday of each month will be given over to a hurried business session, after which mirth and merriment will hold sway sucn as only Ealges know how to provide. A new committee will each month be appointed to arrange the details for the following social sessions, which will only be open to members of the F. 0. E. All other Wednesdays Eagles will return home early as only a short business session will be held. Next Wednesday being the first in the month, a social is being arranged for. which promises to tickle the funny side of the local birds. The committee in charge are J. M. Hughes, H. F. W. Behnsen, James Dupeh and Joseph Wachter. FAIRALL BROS. Manufacturers of Engl is h Ale and Stout and7Aerated Waters Telephone 444 Victoria* West, B.

The Centrally Located Vernon —Doing Good Service: The band of the Fifth Regiment appears to have fallen upon its feet during the visit to St. Louis and the big exposition, for the official programme (copies of which have reached the press of Victoria during thc past week) contains evidence that although too late according to the official limitation, the band has in some way been added to the list of official bands on duty at thc big fair. The result is that the band and Victoria figure in no fewer than three places in the official programme, 100,- 000 copies of which are issued daily— giving concerts at thc Canadian Pavilion, adjacent to the world-celebrated floral clock and the Department of Agriculture, and at the fireworks display at the Stadium in the evenings. The other bands of last week featured were the Grenadier Guards Band (London), the Garde Repttblicaine Band (Paris), Weil's Band of St. Louis, and the Mexican Artillery Band. Assuredly the Fifth is in good company. "Man wants but little here below" but he must he in fashion and wear a good ncektie if he wants to enjoy that "little." so bear in mind that we have surpassed ourselves this season as regards selection and quantity in that line, and wc can please the most fastidious. FINCH & FINCH, Government Street. was intended as a joke, albeit in very poor taste, for had it really occurred the style of the composition would have made it appear ridiculous. To make that point sure, it stated that the story was missed because Vancouver reporters were asleep that night and missed it. It is not necessary to state that the paper appearing the morning after the hold-up had full particulars, but the Colonist which came to Vancouver had somehow I only a few lines about it, possibly be-1 cause its correspondent, who would hardly be asleep at midnight, was very energetically searching for news in other quarters. But up-country and Eastern papers took the matter very seriously. A number of them have reprinted the "josh" in earnest, giving it bold headlines and little knowing the vein in which it was written. Either the Colonist should supply brains with its atyi tempted jokes, so that the reader may j see the point it endeavors to get at, or ; else allow the argicultttral editor to supplant thc alleged funny man in the composition of such popular articles.' "The foregoing was to be cxpeclc1. Thc Vancouver papers were shamefully cooped hy the Colonist in their own territory, Thc account of Judge Bole's j actions in thc Pullman at the hold-up came from an absolutely trustworthy source, and the public can feel certain that the Colonist printed only the facts concerning that interesting phase of the C.P.R. hold-up." The point of the Colonist's hysterical yarn referred to which interests the public is simple—why,if he was doing so— should judge Bole or any other citizen find it necessary to carry a revolver? It has long been the boast of Canadians that thc practice of going about armed, so common in the neighbor states, is unknown here; and wise men have traced Canadian immunity from a high average of homicide to the fact that in Canada the law is depended upon to protect the citizen. Tf the Colonist told the truth about Judge Bole, he set a particularly bad example to the public and by his action did quite as much to bring Canadian law into disrepute as did the highwaymen. It is up to the judge to say whether he is guilty or not guilty. In this country the lime has not yet come for judges or anyone else save police officers 10 about firmed.

The players are now in Suva, and will be picked up by the Aorangi, due here in. October. According to present arrangements the Aorangi should arrive at Suva on October 11 and leave thc same day. She should reach Honolulu on the 19th of the same month, and if nothing happens will dock in Victoria on October 27. —Who is to Blame: Visitors returning from the St. Louis Exposition bring thc somewhat astonishing information that, despite the willingness of the leader and members of the Fift. Regiment band, and their favorable opportunities for doing so, the hand has no supply of'.Victoria tourist attracting literature to distribute to the World's Fair throngs. It was quite well understood when thc civic grant was made to assist thc band's project, that this service would willingly be oonc the city; indeed now the band is just as anxious as then lo distribute Victoria advertising, but no one seem'; to have taken it upon himself to orepare the necessary literature.

Raymond's ''Buster Brown" company, in St. Louis, las had the most varied career, according to the ubiquitous press agent. At me time his birthplace was given as t hamlet in Sweden with an impro- lounceable name, situated at the foot )f a mountain with an equally unman- tgeable title. He was said to have been mable to speak English upon his arrival n New York three months before the iress agent wrote the article, and that lis constant study had perfected him 50 that he could star in "Yon Yonson." It was also stated that he was a favorite actor at the Theatre Royal, Stockholm. Then came the story of taking out naturalization papers and becoming a citizen of the United Stales. Tracing all these fabrications, the truth stands thus: Mr. Erickson is of Swedish extraction and was bom in Utah, to which state his father emigrated before his birth, and, his name is Carl Erickson, and upon his engagement for the starring tour' in "Yon Yonson" ' he added the name of "Knute" by legal process, as being more distinctively Swedish than Carl. In spite of these many falsities, which are due to press agent- ism—a thing which must surely soon need censorship in this country—Mr. Erickson has steadily risen to the highest plane in his chosen field of Swedish haracterization. He has shown us the ender, simple type of young manhood, lonest, truthful and courageous. His resent work in "Buster Brown" is en- irely comedy and yet its artistic value tands out emphatically. The part was riginally written for a Ger- lan comedian, but Mr. Raymond's dis- ernment is responsible for a change rom the usual Dutch comedy element, ommon to all musical comedies, to the ovel Swedish character, as portrayed y Mr. Erickson, and the success of the i novation is the reward. • • • The superlative of juvenile precocity id natural talent in entertaining is il- istrated in the act of the Anderson lildren, head-liners in this week's big fair special" bill at Le Petit Crystal. he children are not by any means of ie stagey variety of youth—the bloom pon their cheeks is not of the rouge ox. Indeed the youngest and leading tember of the trio is scarce four years Id, and yet sings and dances with more ian ordinary exactitude and finished , lethod, her girlish treble being suffi-1 iently strong to be heard distinctly to lie extreme of the house, while her lancing is an embodiment of childish trace and art. The children as a team io an act that is full of genuine merit, jnd it is but one feature of a seven- t'eature snow that has no dull moments in it. Dan and Bessie Kelly offer one if the best singing and talking turn's of recent introduction; Stirule and Hyde have another excellent act in which ■omedy predominates, Stirule depicting ■i grotesque Deutscher with amusing fidelity to the accepted traditions; and the McCarvers help to keep the crowds laughing. There are nine performers in the week's bill, in addition to the 'singer of the illustrated song, and these, with the moving pictures make up a, show that it would be hard to equal for the money in any city of the Coast. * * * ' Once again Manager Jamieson has succeeded in puzzling his patrons as to how he can afford to do it—the conundrum being with respect to the extent and variety and quality of the show afforded at the Grand this week with no .advance in prices, 'i here are eight feature acts in the bill, and of these four at least are of the very highest grade. "Muttonhead" White provides a comedy 'sketch replete with dry humor that is far removed from slapstick and horseplay act. He is a monologuist that it is a delight to listen to, and his song "I'm On tne Water Wagon Now" deserves every bit of the applause with which at each performance it is received. Ernest Yerxes is another top-liner. He lias a spectacular and novel contortion 'i(:t that is quite original and in many respects the best thing of its kind yet seen here. Leonard and Fulton contribute a sktech that is full of ginger and wit of a recent harvest: and Nancy Rice has a musical act of quality, good singing being combined with excellent in- Istrumentation—on the mandolin, the |guitar and that rare old instrument, the harp. Stick and Stone have a novelty [barrel jumping, act that is neat and (clever; William Elton is an amusing I black-fact monologuist; and the illus- |trated song and motion pictures arc the [best of their kind. "San Toy," with its wealth of tuneful music, beautiful costumes, splendid cast and gorgeous production, is announced for Wednesday evening next at the Victoria Theatre." John' C. Fisher, who is directing the tour, is very well known locally as a manager f.who has given the American public some of the very best things in musical comedy, and that he is offering a superior presentation of "San Toy" is evidenced by simply glancing over the cast, which has James T. Powers, George K, For- tescue, Margaret McKinney, John Peachey, Mina Rudolph, Charles Ar- ling, Josephine Newman, Fred W. Huntly, Katherine Howland and other representative players. There is a chorus of 56, a special orchestra and a perfection of detail such as always characterizes Mr. Fisher's productions. This will be the first presentation of "San Toy" in this city, and playgoers have reason for feeling elated over the opportunity of witnessing the tuneful play, with Mr. Powers in the role of Li, Mr. Fortescue as Yen How and so many other members of the original company. • • 1 "Salambo," the gorgeous Kemper and Wagenhals' dramatization by Stanislaus Stange of Flaubert's notable novel of ancient Carthage, presented at the Victoria theatre on Thursday evening by a company headed by Mr. Frederick Warde and Miss Kathryn Kidder, proved as anticipated, magnificent in spectacular values, but distinctly heavy in its dramatic aqulity. Necessarily the dram- atizer has taken considerable liberties with the literary, text, and the result is a play less meritorious and fascinating than the original novel. It is to a large extent tragedy unrelieved and unillum- ined by any touch of humor or human naturalness—tragedy that abounds in blank verse sonorousness and elaborate phrasing such as Mr, Warde's heart delights in. For all': that it touches not the chord of human sympathy and is disappointing, save as a triumph of stage tableax—a spectacular of rare color, beauty and impressiveness. *'♦.,* The marriage was solemnized at Chicago on the 20th September of Mr. I Frank B. Winter and Miss Myrtle Frost- ! Jones, better known to the musical and 1 dramatic world as Brooke Eltrym, a very pleasing soprano vocalist, a brilliant i pianiste, and a composer of considerable ability, her "Forever and For Aye,'' "Little Boy Blue," etc., being compositions fully deserving of their established popularity. Mr. and Mrs. Winter will make their home at Milwaukee. They will have the congratulations of numerous friends in this city and Vancouver, where the bride is an ,tes|ab- lished favorite and her undoubted talent generally admired. • • • One of the genuine hits of the last theatrical season in New York will be at the Victoria Theatre about one week hence. This will be Kyrle Bellew with his entire original production and cast in his fascinating study of criminology "Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman." This is a Liebler & Company attraction, and, as shown by the lists of players seen with the other Liebler stars, Viola Allen and Edward Morgan, the companies and scenic productions sent out by this firm are always of the highest grade. E. M. Holland, himself a prominent star for many years, will appear in support of Mr. Bellew, playing the detective role. *''.-»■■* The celebrated Pierrots having closed their engagement at the fair, will be seen and heard again on Monday evening at the Dallas in an entirely new programme of song, recitation, etc. Their entertainments during the fair were voted by all eonnetced with that institution a great feature, and one which more than redeemed the wisdom of the management in securing it. • * * Melville B. Raymond, who has been doing the World's Fair while visiting his (Main) "Buster Brown" company, which has been playing the Grand Opera House, St. Louis, jyill begin engaging the chorus for the Elinore Sisters' company, and rehearse it from four to five weeks. He will rehearse the principals not less than three weeks. Robert M. Ebcrle has resigned the management of the Criterion Theatre, New York, to return to Mr. William Gillette's company, which he has managed for Mr. Charles Frohmati for the past nine years. At the Grand during the ensuing week, Manager Jamieson will present a series of especially meritorious features, the names of which are famous to vaudeville followers. These include Pierce Brothers and Marks, in their comedietta "Fun With the Teacher"; Ted McMenna and his $5,000 dog; Beli- veau and Roberts, in a new and attractive song and darfce "musical act"; Eddie Collins, in mimicry and imitations ; Mabel Leslie, a famous coon shouter; Mr. Frederick Roberts' illustrated song; and a brand new series of motion pictures. * * * "The Wizard of Oz" is one of the October bookings at the View street playhouse. Those who staged this tremendously successful musical play aimed at the creation of beautiful pictures. The Poppy Field in "The Wizard of Oz" is a poetic suggestion of a field of flowers. It appeals both to the eye and to the imagination. The Kansas farm scene, on the contrary, is as true to nature as it can be made. Thus these two scenes represent the antipodes of scenic realism. * * * Alice Johnson is no longer with "A Friend of the Family," in which she was featured last season, and which plays a return date here shortly. The leaders in the cast are William Friend, Halrry Crandall (who by the way was the original "Burgomaster"), and Eugene Redding, who in private life is Eugene Robideau, a son of one of Quebec's supreme court judges. The ladies of this season's cast are Miss Magrame, 'this season's cast are Miss Magrane, Miss T'ravers and Miss Theodore Dudley. Maxine. Elliott is loth to leave her summer home and return to work. Her manager Charles B. Dillingham cabled her the other day that she could have four weeks at one of the principal Broadway theatres before starting her arranged season at Harlem, October 3. This would have made the sixth theatre in New:York played by Miss Elliott in "Her Own Way," but she prefers her full vacation to making money and records, and replied: "Not for the gross receipts." She' will be seen in "Her Own Way" here in January. » • • Mr. Robert M. Edwards, Mr. William Sheffer, Mr. Frank Hennig, Mr. Edward D'Oize, Mr. Fred Hight, Mr. Henry Mac Rade, Mr. John V. Daifey, Mr. P. J. Ford, Mr. John M. Kline, Mr. George G. Halpin, Mr. Dumont Murray, Mr. Henry Willard, Mr. M. C. Stone, Mr. T.L. Stoddard, Mr. Richard Garth, Miss Marie Drofnah, Miss Bessie Hunter Hight, Miss Margaret Oswald, Miss Annie Murray, and Miss Helen Raymond have been engaged for the forthcoming tour of Mr. Charles B. Hanford. * * * "Arizona,"as a popular price attraction, is meeting with a surprising success. The Western company opened Sunday, September 4, at the Great Northern Theatre, Chicago, to larger business on the day than "Buster Brown" did on July 24. As both plays are under the direction of Melville B. Raymond, he doesn't mind the one beating the record of the other. * * * The comedy "A Friend of the Family" will be at the Victoria Theatre within three weeks' time. It won much success last season, and proved ingenious as to plot and unique in complications. It is a bright farce, quite equal to "My Friend From India," "What Happened to Jones," "The Wrong Mr. Wright" and kindred comedies. » * * "Arizona," the Augustus Thomas melodrama, which will live for many years yet to come, by reason of its compelling dramatic strength, will be presented here in November by a company selected for the task by M, B. Raymond, who has leased the rights to the play from Kirke Le Shelle. * * * Herbert Taylor, Miss Marrack and their little assistant entertainer are arranging to present a minstrel entertainment at Nelson with amateur talent. * * • When "The Virginian" comes here this winter, thc original cast including Dllstin Farnum, Frank Campeau, Guy Bates Ppst and Marie Taylor will he seen. * * * Mr. Charles B. Hanford will present during the coming season: "Don Caesar De Bazan," "Othello" and "Thc Taming of the Shrew." * • • Among the new faces at the Savoy next week will be Latlrine Davis, a popular serio-comic; Betithani and Freeman, society sketch artists, and Mae E.

The result will be found amazingly beneficial from all standpoints. ************ It is a genuine pleasure to find the Evening Times joining this paper in its crusade for a better and stronger game law, as witness the following editorial: "It is not presumable that the men who were yesterday convicted of taking game out of season and heavily fined for their offence were the only sinners on Vancouver Island on the 31st of August. There is. not the slightest doubt that a great deal of game was taken out of season. Furthermore, it is undeniable that the law-breaking in the past has not been confined strictly to the days immediately preceding the opening day. But it will be quite profitless for those who are interested in the preservation of wild game to sit in secret places speculating upon the personality of suspected offenders. The point for them to consider is that grouse are becoming scarcer every year. The matter for them to settle is the most effectual measure for arresting the process of destruction. It is perfectly apparent that if the conditions are allowed to remain as they are at present, in a few years the blue grouse will be a curiosity within any reasonable distance of Victoria. And the willow will not be long in following his less succulent brother. We think it is also demonstrable that if it were not for the out-of-season shooting the larger bird could very effectively protect himself from absolute extermination. His season is comparatively shoit. One measure of protection that is absolutely necessary is to prohibit the sale of the blue grouse. It will be contended in opposition to such a law that injustice would be done under it to those who have no other means of obtaining game than by buying it. ihe same is true of willow grouse and pheasants and quail. In their case there was the choice between ■ prohibition of sale and extermination. A similar problem has confronted practically every other community on the continent in which game once abounded. And it was found there was but one way of solving it. Then effective machinery must be provided for enforcing the law. The sportsmen must provide that machinery and pay the cost of its operation. That is but a reasonable fun for the Fernwoods with a nice single. Brewster reached first, but sacrificed Holness, who was put out at second. Herd hit a nice one and reached first. S. Shanks also hit ami made his base and A. Shanks followed suit. Brewster and S. Shanks got home, Great excitement greeted their arrival at the plate. It brought the score up to 6-5, with one man out, Malcolm made a fine hit and amid applause A. Shanks and Carlow ran in, and as no one prevented him Malcolm followed their example. Score, 8 to 6 in favor of the Fernwoods, * * * By special proclamation of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, the disabilities in connection with the shooting of cock pheasants have, as promised, been removed, and from today sportsmen of the Island will give the poor grouse a much-needed rest while enjoying the pursuit of his royal long-tailed brother. It is said that the pheasants are exceptionally numerous this season in all centres of settlement on the Island— but then that was said of the grouse not so very long ago. Close to town the farmers tell of three broods during the season, and declare that the pheasants have become such an unmitigated nuisance that there has been serious thought of petitioning the government^ to make the killing of hens equally legal/ for the present season at all events. Fortunately, from the sportsman's standpoint, this has not been done. There are none too many pheasants to go round, and it would be poor policy not to further exempt the hens as in the years gone by. Unfortunately the legalization of pheasant shooting is very much of a hodge-podge affair, which must puzzle the average sportsman to remember. Here in the Island constituencies the shooting of the royal bird becomes are: Pres. and Capt. Okell, Vice- Pres. Shanks, Sec.-Treas. Mclntyre, Vice-Capt. Irving; committee, Robertson. The Boys' Hockey Club elected the following: Pres. Cobbett, Vice-Pres. Scott, Sec.-Treas. Gill, Capt. Scott, Vice-Capt. Cobbett; committee, Roily White and Mclnnes. The High school students will meet, on Monday to form a tennis club. • * » Very great interest was manifested this week in the boxing tournament conducted as a special attraction of the fair. Naturally a very considerable portion of the sport was furnished by the men of the army and navy, while for the tourney as a whole it may be said that it went far toward securing recognition for boxing as a manly rather than a brutal and brutalizing sport. Each event upon the programme was carried out with every recognition of gentlemanly rule, and those attending saw goou boxing, but no rough-house fighting. There were no challengers for the middleweight and bantam championships, held respectively by T. D. DesBrisay and William Hill, and honors were accordingly passed to these boxers by default. Hill showed his game- ness and ambition by going out of his class to engage Bailey for the featherweight honors, and although he could not maintain the terrific pace with which he started otit to do for his opponent, he gave One of the fastest and best exhibitions of years. The amateur champions as decided for the ensuing year are: Heavyweight, W. Fisher; middleweight. T. D. DesBrisay; lightweight, A. Jeffs; featherweight, Ted Bailey; bantam- .weight, W.

SEDGER ARCHITECT Room 21, Five Sisters' Block, Victori| That the aspiring Fernwoods were not over-presumptuous in challenging the redoubtable senior Victorias for a match deciding the baseball championship of the city, was demonstrated last Saturday out at Oak Bay Park, when the Fernwoods made good their boasts, and put away the big team by a score of 8 to 6. It all happened in the final inning, when, with everything going easily for a Victoria victory, and the score 6-3 in favor of the big fellows, the Fernwoods caught a batting streak ■ and ran out five runs, which spelled victory. The winners had the assistance of Holness and Webster for the game, but otherwise played their sea-1 son-old men in all positions. Thc story of that final and fateful inning is thus told; Blackburn died at first. McConnell was caught by Brewster and Burns struck out.
