dies who hat been remarkable among his fellows for shining qualities, his exit from life scarcely causes a ripple on the surtace of human affairs. He was; he is not : this is all.

Leslie E. Macleod, whose very recent death wasto the major‘ty of the readers of turf literature so entirely unexpected, was certainly a man deserving remembrances He wasthe possessor of very marked abilities. Be first became known to the American publie as a writer and associate editor of Wallace’s Monihly, when that journal] was in the high tide of its pros- perity. Bus articles underthe nom de plume, “Recland,” and hie editorials at- tracted great attention. They were bright, pungent, incisive, and dis» played a rare mastery of the subject he discussed. His style was always easy and graceful. It was never labored,and when he did not instruct he alwayeamused, He always said the right thing in the most agreeable way. He had a rare talent for newspaper work. He appeared to write spontaneously, entirely without effort. There seemed to be no end of his vereatil- ity. He turned from one subject to an- other with the ease of one who was master of all,

Yes! tbe opportunity of the electors of Canada must come. Meanwhile, the electors of Belfast and Murray Harbor miy legitimately express their opinion concerning the passage of the Farquhar- son License Law by polling their votes against Mr. Irving and Attorney General McKinnon. Vote them down,—that’s the proper course,

NOT LIKELY.

A short time ago, the people of the Bedeque district were induced to vote for Mr. J. H. Bell, because he was “on the side of the government” and would be “able to get favors for the district.” But in respect to harbor, improvement and the Stanley, the influence of Mr. Bell now counts for nothing. Nothing is being done about Summerside harbor and the Stanley is not going there,—though the people were as sure of these “favors” when they voted for Mr. Bell as the people of Bel- fast and Murray Harbor now are of the immediate construction of the railway and bridge. In view of the experience of Bedeque district, it is not likely chat the ahrewd electors of Belfast and Murray Harbor will allow themselves to be fooled.

—The attempt of Sir Louis Davies and the Patriot to convince the electors that Mr. A. ‘C. McDonald, M. P.,

Mr. A. Martin, M. P., and all the Tories are against the railway and the bridge is toothin. It will not carry their Attorney General or Mr. D. P, Irving to victory.

—There’s a great deal in imagination. With potatoes at l5cts, oats at 27cte and pork st Sects, Sir Louis Davies imagines that the farmers of this Province are all rapidly growing rich, even though the prices of store goole are away up! A

“As 4 writer on equine topics Mr, Mac cod was undoubtedly one of the ablest that this country has produced. He was a deep, origiaaland independent thinker and a writer of both vigor and polish, bis literary style being informed with the grace and distinction of arare and cultured in- tellect.”—Horae Review, Chicago.

“Ona turf mattersand dissertations on the horse he was the ablest writer of them all. His style was clear, incisive and forcible. He wasted no words, and wrote pure English.” Veritas, (E. C. Walker) ia Trotter and Pacer.

“Mr. Macleod had no mean traite, was quiet, unobtrusive, rather inclined to be uncommuniczative, and while he made no enemies and was cordial to all, he had few preferred friends, His library always occupied his spare moments, and no wider read man than “Roland was.” Trotter and Pacer.

“As a polemical writer he had few peers, surely no superiors, and he handled the Qaeen’s English with vigorand grace. The virility and vigor of hisdiction was one of the striking features of his writ- ings. He was naturally endowed with a bright intellect, cultivated by a wile range of reading, and men who crossed swords with him found him a foenan worthy oftheir sieel. Those who knew him ‘ntimately testify to the bigh sense of honor thet actuated him inal] his relations with his fellowmen.”—American Horse Breeder.

‘* Brilliant intellectually, Mr. Macleod excelled chiefly as an essayist, and his matter, never dul), often sparkled with the brightest thought most tersely expressed.” —Chicago Horseman.

“ His fame will last. * * ® Leslie had @ triumphant vindication of his character.” —John H. Wallace.

“He bad achieved perhaps the widest reputation of any man of his day and vocation. Close acquaintaace served to inspire @ respect for his intellectual genius. He was an intejlectual athlete, and of the best training. The full, copious richness of his style, at times brief to sententiousness, at others almost grandiose, was the result of deep thirking and wide culture. No man ever paraded his gifts less, nor waa less eelf-aseertive in his private relations. Knowingly I think Leslie Macleod never dida deliberate wrong toany one. Of his own failings he was most keenly aware, and this verse of “In Memoriam,” which I find marked by his hand

Thy leaf bas perished in the green ; And, while we breathe beneath the sun, The world, which credits what is done, Is cold to all that might have been,

will seem tonching!y appropriate to those who knew him ‘est.” —“Volunteer,” of the staff of the Borse Review.
