Do you know why it is that the Hon.
William Z. Gladstone invariably uses the
humble postal ca 4 for the purposes of
correspondence? 1t is because he is the
father Of the postal card in Great Britain.
He made a long and hard battle in adj
vocacy of its adoption, and now he uses
it more than any twenty other men in
public life TO prove his faith in its utility.

A Bold ChallenEe-Sports and Base
Ball.
Captain Mckay and the rest of his "Wood-
choppers" faced the 'Soientists" in the local
rink last night and were easily defeated.
After the game had been played ten minutes.
they kept hustling after the ball, the home
team gave them no show. The only feature
of the game was the poor playing of Cornell.
Time and time again the ball was passed to
him but he could not hit q balloon. The
only thing he could do was to seize player
and try to put him on his head, but he was
called down with three fails for his rough
playing. All of the home team put up a
good stiff game, every man did the best he
could and had they been pushed harder they
could have undoubtedly made more goals.
Newcombe and Hill rushed we'll and "Billy"
made some pretty goals BY good clever
drives. The visitors found no end OF trouble
in getting past Cooke, who never played
better than he did last night. Phslan was as
quick as ever, and Although Reed did not
have much to do, all of his stops were hard
ones. Parsons played the best game he has
ever played in the local rink. His work al
times was brilliant. Turnbull's blocking
was very good and, for man as clumsy at
he is on skates. he played great game

however, they have been theoretically and
consistently at work to bring about precisely
what this important lease indicates"
It is theory among railway men that shis
new move by the New York and New Eng
