on Queen street, when the proprietor
came out and said

The man glared at him a moment,
savagely, and replied;

asked the astonished storekeeper.
"No l DON'T" said the stranger.

last night between Blakeney and Shuttle

packed the rink. Doubtless the very fne

nay giving his opponent one heat In the

second mile was close and exciting, Blake
neyeoming In about thirty feet over the
