A great many muies gre to be seen. A sbort time ago we paseed 300 ef them. As we are passing through hoet’le ter- ritory we are not allowed to antwer any questions as to oursumbers or military movements. A few stations back, a Boer was trying to find out thisfrom us. At every bridge there is an encampment of soldiers with sentries on the alert for at- tempts to blow up or damage tke bridge.

HOCKEY LAST NIGHT. fenior Abbies Victorious—5 to 3- Intermediate Game Goes to Second Victorias 3 to 2 The bockey season in Coarloitetown openrd last night with two of the best fought-ont geme* eyer witnessed here. The ice was most unfavorable to the heekey ist, in the latter part of the evening pools cf water collecting in eeveral places. Notwithstanding this, excellent p'ay was putup. The number of spectators was verv large for such weather. When the teams lived up the Abegweite bad certainly ithe better prospecis for victory, being heavier men geverally and veierans. The Vicicrias were almost the same as ever and appeareda very etrong team. The relatiye values of the two were fully demonstrated inthe game that was to tollow, and the difference is very siigit. There was not very much brilliant com- bination play, but what there was showed the decided superiority of the Abegweite. The wonderful activity o: the Victorias’ forwards called for the best resources of their opponents, and it wae found in Bethuve and McMillav. Tadividual play was freely indulged in by both sides. The splendid rushes of Sullivan and Howat: of the Abegweits, and of H. Brehaut aod C. Weeks of the Victorias, were viewed with wonder. The play was pot very rough, and secidents were few. Bethune received a severe cut over the right eye. Checking was continus! and was dooe without undue rowghness. Here again the Abegweits displayed superiority. Shortly afier eight o’elock the puck was faced by McLeod and Brebaut, aad was soon fly ng about everywhere. It did not re main long in either team’s territory. After five misute’s play a gonl was eecured for the Abegweity by Sullivan. Again was tbe puck faced, und the play put up by the teams was exce'leut. The Victorias fought for» gow, avi several times al- moustsucceeded; vat the phenomenal stops of Jost crushed their hopes, Three times was the puck shot at very clese range, and three times was it semt back ameng the players buoched about the goal. Half time sounded with the score standing 3—1 for the Abegweits. ‘The Jast halt was fast and furious. Time came reluctantly with ascore of 5—3 for the Abegweits. The intermediate match went to the Victorias* with a score of 3—2. Both sides put up a gallant fight. In the senior match J. Sullivan wae referee. In the intermediate match Mr Lillie refereed. Both acted ina highly Aatisfaciory manner. The games throughout were spleadid ones~ just the kiad spectators will enthuse oyer aud the kind that they will return to eee, PERSONAL His Honor the Lieutenant Governor and Mrs Melntyre returned from Souris this merpiog.

Miss Grey in the dual role of Lady Isabel and Medame Vine was all that could be desired; and Miss Carmen gave an excellent characterization of Barbara Hare.Mr.Bennette acted the part of Archibald Carlyle most acceptably; and Mr. Wedber’s impersonation of Sir Francie Levison was capital. Mr. Chase made the mest of the opportunities given bim as Richard Hare; and Mrs. Clifton as Cornelia, the old maid sister ot Archi- bald Carlyle, afforded considerable amuse- ment. As Lady Isabel, Miss Grey wore several very handsome costumes. This aiterncon the company gives & matiner, presenting ‘* Bruisn Born,” tonight * Black-Eyed Susan ” and the screaming farce of ‘fhe Dumb Belie ” constitute the attraction. | ——— be “ar POVYYTRRPPPVODTTETTVYVP PONT TT Red Cross Society Artisles bought at either of onr stores by members of this Soeiety for shipment with fecond Canad- ian Coatiwgent, will be sold at greatly reduced figures for cash, A few Suggestions Absorbent Cotton, ledotorm Gauze, Rolled Bandages, Absorbent Gauze, Borated Cott, Adhesive Plaster in rolls, Tebacce cut and in plugs, Cigars ia tia boxes, Camp Ceffee al) ready for use, Lithia Tablets, Surgical Spenges, Chocolate Menier.
