strong ground for the belief long entertained by
many people that he could easily beat or have
beaten Hanlan, the Canadian champion, but for

II is now revealed that the late highway rob-
bery on Mount Desert, which created so much ex-
element at the time, was perpetrated by one OF
the summer visitors there, with the connivance of
friend or two, as huge joke. Ii there is any
way TO punish the as5inine joker he ought to be
put through. A fellow who is fool enough TO play
such pranks is about dangerous To society as a
professional criminal, and the sooner ana farther
he Is put out OF the way the better.

latterly been accustomed. According to this au-

overlooked by him. Ii must De apparent to all OBJ

Is doubtless largely due to the fact that the work
