Mr. Grant Hamilton who signs this
interesting bit of Canadian history, de-
serves the pity of whoever is well ac-

of the French Canadians.
He tells US that during the winter

of the ST. Lawrence. But Mr.. Hamilton

with the greatest of speed, while his wife
and children take their turn at the log.

until they are steaming with perspira-

Further Mr.. Grant Hamilton adds,

Mr.. HAYS WILL MANAGE BOTH.

The Grand Trunk and the Chicago and
Grand Trunk Railways-Mr. w. j..
Spicer Will Retire
The New York Times makes the follow
ing statement:
By the merging of the General Man
agership of the Chicago and Grand
Trunk Railway with that of the Grand
Trunk, Charles Hays will discharge the
duties of both offices, and W. J. Spicer
will retire from the service. For many
years Mr.. SPicer has been Vice President
Grand Trunk, and also General Manager
of the Detroit, Grand Haven and Mil
waukee, and several other roads of the
system west of the Detroit River.
Mr.. Spicer is in New York for few
days, and in Wow of the rumors and
conflicting statements that have appeared
in print recently, he deems it due to
himsf and courteous to the public TO
have the facts authoriuatlvely stated He
was officially Informed only last Satur-
day that the board had decided to merge
the position of General Manager of all
the Grand Trunk lines into the one office
of General Manager of the Grand Trunk
Railway, Montreal. Arrangements
are now in progress for Mr.. Spicer's retire
ment from the position ana uuules WHEN
he has been charged with for the past
twelve years, after previous very long
service as General Superintendent OF the
Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. IN all
he has had somewhat more than forty
years of continuous connection as a gen
eral officer, with practically the same
property.
Mr.. Spicer admits that he may have
something further to say upon the sitna-
tion, past and present, at later date.
History is in measure prophesy III l.

! friends who remember the past will in

past, and he has nothing. but the most
cordial good wishes fer Mr.. Hays's
future success in the administration Of

HOOP AND BALL.
A New Game at the Athletic Club
Gymnasium.

Recently Invented by Instructor Lee-It
Is Certainly Unique and Seems to Have
Many Good Points-Similar to Basket
Ball
Tuesday new game was played at
the Athletic Club gymnasium for the
first time. 1t is Instructor Lees own in
vention and bids fair to become very
popular.
| After the class work there has been a
| desire for some recreation exercise, and
the use of ball in some way or other
has been the natural inclination.
| But this is attended with more or less
danger of damage to breakables as the
gymnasium is not equipped for indoor
| base ball
| To meet the need of the situation Mr..
Lee invented the following game.
| He suspended from the ceiling two
large hoops, four feet in diameter, eight
feet from the floor and forty feet apart
Then he suspended between them at a
point equally distant from each hoop an
ordinary round punch ball foot in di-
ameter and hanging at distance of but
three feet from the floor. In playing 1.-THE
game, two sides are opposed to each
| other, there being four or five or as many
more as desire on SIDE The ball can
be thrown or struck with the hands but
cannot be kicked or carried One side
endeavors to throw the ball through one
hoop and the other side, the other hoop.
The ball is of course kept flying alb tut
in the air in very lively manner but
since it is attached to rope, it can do no
damage. The rope is % feet long, SO that
it allows the ball quite an exstensive
range of location and tends to keep the
players more widely separated in their
efforts to get at it, than would at first
thought appear. There really is very
little personal contact involved, because,
as soon as player gets within reach of
the ball he either strikes or throws 1T. 1t
isn't SO easy to get it through one of the
hoops as might be supposed, nor is it so
easy to stop it from going through if it is
properly aimed.
If it goes through hoop it counts five
points and the side that gets 25 points
first wins the game. This is quite SINH
lar to basket ball, except in the latter
game, the ball is not suspended and bas-
kets instead of hoops are used.
