Comedy acts including n. pie. “$1118 wuteet and a clown race cu much amusement. The hockey game between Queen Square School and Saint Dunstanb University was won by the Queen Square boys by a score n! 3-2. The first period started oi! some- what cautiously, the puck zig-zag- glng up and down the ice. Heavy checking was predominant, partic- ularly by the St. T‘ ‘ n's defence. The Queen Square defence, by poke checking tactics, kept the puck well out,of their territory. The score at the end of this period was 2-0 for Queen Square. ‘Iheflrst goal was scored on a neatly caught rebound which caught the goalie of! guard, the second was made on a pass from behind the net. 'l‘he only penalties of the game, two for Q. S. S. one for S. D. U. were received in this period. ‘During the second period the play speeded up and much good combination was seen. Each team scored once, Queen Square by a hard dict stra‘ght on the net. St. Dunstans scored by slipping the puck under the Q. S. S. goalie as he attempted t0 m1 on it. In the third period St. Dunstans’ made brave efforts to even the score. the play becoming fast and thrilling. They did score once on a clever shot as the goalie was caught prostrate on the ice after making a splendid stop. The shoiu were about evenly divided through- out the game, which was capably refereed by "Hymie" McArthur. Following is the, summary of ev- cnts. Ski Race l. G. ‘h-ainor and J. Strain; 2. J.

"Charlottetown, Halifax and Moncton sport writers, who will de- cide the most valuable player in the “Big Three", certainly have a big job on their hands as a result of the Swat performances of several puck-chasers in the circuit. At least half a dozen performers are in line for the award at the present time and thcrc is little doubt but that the decision at the close of the sea- son will bc a close one all around.

ZiL-Thc thlrteen hundred odd Maritimers returned home today, after their three days excursion to Boston, op- erated by the Canadian National Railways, in conjunction with con- necting lines. Excursionists passing through Moncton today are for points east, to Halifax and Sydney. Prince Ed- ward Islanders were also among those arriving at Moncton today. The Ocean Limited was run in two sections from Moncton, to ac- commodate _the extra. travel. All seemed to have enjoyed themselves and are greatly plcnscd with the opportunity that was afforded them to visit relatives and friends at a very small outlay for railway fare. The idea of these low priced ex- cursions has taken quite a hold among the public and to date they have met with marked success. Ow- ing to the extremely low fare, tick- ets are good in day coaches only and no baggage is checked. thus en- nbling the railways to handle a maximum number of passengers with a minimum of equipment or the equivalent to quantity produc- tion in the industrial field. From information gleaned from returning cxcursionists a argc crowd was on hand at the rai way station in Bos- ton to greet them and likewise when they departed from Boston on Mon- day night. --__-.____.

Worthy of special mention was the remarkable performance of ' plre preferential tariff or the pos- prospect of the present shipment receiving free entry under the Em? sible effect of such free entry‘. The conviction hero, however, is that whether or not the shipment enters the United Kingdom duty free or is assessed the six-cent duty it will have very little effect on the routing of Canadian grain in the immediate future. The advant- ages held by Canadian ports will continue. The British customs regulation governing the shipment was not made chiefly with the object of favoring Canadian or other Empire ports but for the purpose of assur- ing that products receiving prefer- cntial treatment are actually pro- duced within the Empire. Thus the ruling requires that Canadian grain to receive the pre- ference must. be consigned directly from a point in Canada to the United Kingdom. Passage through a. foreign country is not a bar to preferential entry provided there is through consignment. On the pre- vious test shipment after studying] the shipping papers British cus-. toms officials ruled there had not bccn through consignment withinl the meaning oi the regulations and consequently the duty was collect- ed. l Certain changes are understood to have been made in the method of billing for the present shipment with a view to compliance with the United Kingdom regulations.
