Ono is to have a new big oil syadi

OHIO is to have a new big oil syadi- cate, composed of wealthy capitalists from Chicago, Milwaukee and Pittsburg. They claim to have $50, ,OO0, ,0O0, and that they are going to put it into the busi- ness. That ought to make a lively rival for the Standard Oil company, or else a splendid corporation to combine with and crowd everybody else out. With that amount of capitol they will be able to own lots of legislatures, and all the raidroads they need.

BY the death of MT Biggar the home rule party loses one of it's ablest leaders, but his great service in the past has placed his party in position where it can suffer such loss with less proba- bility of disaster than would have been the case only few years ago, the indi vidual being of less consequence than principles that have now gained such distinguished support.

OUTDOOR GAMES.

Richard D. Sears who won the tennis
championship at singles SO many years,
distinctly says that he will not compete in
any tennis matches this season. He will
play simply for practice and health.
The Canadian Lacrosse association is hav-
ing considerable difficulty in preventing
professionalism from entering into amateur
circles. The rivalry between amateur teams
of the big cities in Canada is so great that
there is tendency to make life easy for
the good players, just as asimilar tendency
has shown itself in the United States in the
various athletic clubs concerning the good
athletes The Canadian authorities speak
of the custom in vigorous terms, and in
tend keeping q strict watch on suspicious
characters.
The Canadian Lacrosse association has
issued 700 playing certificates. This num-
ber represents about fifty clubs, for certif-
Gates are issued only to active players.
There is still complaint ntennis circles
that courts which are frequently used can
not be kept in good order. no matter
whether they are clay, turf or the com
pOsite clay and gravel. The latter wears
well, but when it does become rough it is
difficult to fix. Asphalt is good, but it is
too expensive to be used by the mass. For
an all round cheap court which is easily
repaired clay stands the best test.
The championship fixtures at tennis TO
be held at Newport in August already
promise to have the largest number of en-
tries on record for this annual event, and
it is not at all unlikely that Richard d.
Sears may be one of the competitors.
The Berkeley Athletic club has found
cricket to be very popular game, and the
team it organized to represent it in the
spring has shown the good effects of steady
practice by winning many outside matches.
II. McNutt is one of the strongest players
on the team, and has done good work in
getting the members together and coach
ing them He predicts that the cricket
team will win more laurels for the club
than the baseball team.
The increase of tennis clubs in Canada
has caused discussions of forming a ma
tional tennis association TO be modelled
after the ruling tennis organization of the
United States. Canada's ruling athletic
association is six years old.
