Showed Them How to Play.

Fred Averill and Eugene Rhelnfrank
proved to be too much for B. G. Tennis
players. The Sentinel in speaking of
the game, says:
Perrysburg tennis players Fred Av-
GRILL and Eugene Rheinfrank came
over Friday and showed the Bowling
Green boys how to play tennis. The
two visitors worsted three of the local
players in both double and single
games. The Perrysburg boys were just
here visiting and on account OF the
Pemberville team failing to appear,
they we're invited to take hand, and
they did so, but the results were some-
what of a surprise to the local players.
The home players were Jim Black,
Ralph Eberly and DIR. Patterson.

HaQ TAKEN the wrong bTdll anu udu
to go back to Hazelton, get more
provisions, and start over again
Here one of our horses was
drowned while crossing the Skeena
River. By this time our horses
were getting tired and we had a
hard time getting those left to the
summit, where the trail crossed
the Caesar Mountains, which was
accomplished about fifteen days
ago. Upon reaching the summit
and taking an invoice of our pro-
visions, we found we only had
}enough to last about two weeks
SO it was necessary for some of US
to get to Glenora as soon as pos
sible, distance of 800 miles.
Eleven of us decided to take half
5 the provisions and start on foot
|leaving five men with the horses
to come on as fast as they could.
The next morning we started with
packs on our backs weighing all
the way from thirty to fifty
}pounds. The first day was hard
one but it got easier as we used up
5 our provisions. All went we'll
until the sixth day when our pro-
; visions gave out. Then there
5 was a sick lot of boys, out of
grub and $50 miles to walk but
5 luck seemed to be with us. We
; got up in the morning and started
5 without any breakfast. We walked
about three miles when we found
ia letter from Tom Trillis, saying
5 he had sent out relief party to
meet us. We also found letter
5 from the relief party saying they
5 had gone into the mountains ZOO
; miles and not finding us concluded
5 to return, and that they had stored
}some provisions in a large pine
5 tree which we soon found and after
ga good breakfast went on our way
}reioicing and arrived at Glenora
5 Sept. 90. We found Tom Trlllls
}and Mr.. Perry worring themselves
almost to death over us but every
thing is O. K. at present. When

Fifteen Hundred Miles Overland.
A Trip to Glenora Via the Ashcroft
Trail

A. A. Smith of this city receiv-
5 ed an interesting letter from a.
friend descriptive of the life and
adventures of a party of gold seek
ers enroute to the gold fields by
the way of the Ashcroft trail.
Glenora, B. c., Sept. %, 1898.
DEAR FRIEND:
We arrived here day before yes
terday about noon after hard
and dangerous trip. We left Ash
croft on June the 18th and
travelled ninety six days, covering
a distance of nearly one thousand
five hundred miles, through dense
forests, over great ranges OF
mountains and dismal swamps.
Sour first experience was the hail
}storm [ wrote you about.
}Things went we'll until we cross
ed the Frazee River at Quinsnelle
where our trouble commenceds
The first day on the Trail, which is
}only path travel d by stringing
the horses out in a long line one
}after the other, John and had
}six horses to look after and | tell
}you it kept us busy. At night we
}would turn them loose in the
5 woods to feed and we had to get up
Gin the morning about three or
}four O'Clock to look for them.
}But that was not the worst of it,
}we were all wet through as it has
Grained nearly the whole ninety six
}days. Of course you know that
}our horses were all wild bronchos
and we had a terrible time getting
}the saddles and packs on them,
5 but we finally successed in doing
$50 by throwing them and tying
Gall four feet, then they were
let up and there was the
5 biggest circus you ever saw
Ringling's or Barnum s was not in
Sit. They would kick, lay down
}and roll and nearly run themselves
to death, but after this they were
! quiet and gentle as could be for
that day, but it was repeated every
}day for a week, so you can imagine
what a jolly time we had. Well.
we travelled on in this way for q
week, and the horses got so we
could handle them very nicely but
when the hills got so steep and
the mud so deep the horses
began to play out. This lasted
for one hundred miles but
when we got into more Level
country with good feed they seem.
led to pick up and do very nicely.
By this time we had reached the
}Valley of the Nechacco which
}river we crossed near Fl. Frazer by
}swimming the horses and crossing
}on raft ourselves. Here we lost
}our first horse which fell off the
$clif, distance of $50 feet
}and was hnrt so badly we had to
}shoot it. After travelling for a
}week more through the heavy
5 timber We reached the Valley of
}the Indacco. By this time things
began to get quite serious as we
had lost five or six horses. After
}crossing this river we had good
trail to the Buckley River which
we crossed twice. From here to
3Hazelton, distance of 100 miles,
was through a swamp of mud, and
}there must have been five hundred
}dead horses on the trail. We lost a
few in this swamp. At Hazelton
we got provisions er ough as
we thought to last until We
arrived at Glenora, but we went
out into the wilderness and found
after travelling two weeks that we

He started home the Goth of Sep
TENDER, after six weeks seige of
malarial fever. He was still
unable to walk when starting and
suffered a great deal on the road.
He is out OH a 80 days furlough
and is quite weak at this time.
He says that none of the large
quantities of the food and delicies
sent ont by the Red Cross Societies
ever reached the sick soldiers,
claiming that all of this food was
5 sold by the officers to Porto Rican
$stores. The menu for the sick
soldiers while he had the fever
was as follows; coffee, poor and
bitter without milk or sugar; oat
meal, strlngy and very much like
}paste, served without milk or
sugar; canned tomatoes condemn
}ed by General Grant as unfit for
Stood, spoiled and full of maggots,
$served half of the time uncooked;
}native bread, sour and heavy
5 without butter. He says that not
ga mouthful of the Red Cross sup
}plies was brought into the
$hospital during his six weeks sick
}ness. When asked what con-
}stituted the bed on which the sick
$soldiers slept, he shruggered his
shoulders and reflected a moment
$before answering while his
; thoughts flashed back to those
}scenes of horror so recently wit
}nessed at the seat of war. In
}reply he said, "our hospital tent
}was situated on a raise Of ground
Sat the foot of the mountains. 1t
Grained every day and our tent leak
$ed like sieve. The mud inside
}was from four to six inches deep.
5 A rubber blanket was laid in this
$and over spread with wool blan-
}ket. This was the sick soldiers
}only bed for many weeks. On
these blankets he laid and suffered.
5 The splash of the soft mud from
5the feet of the nurses and attend
}ants and the constant drip OF
}water from the tents soon filled
the blankets of the fever stricken
patients until the poor fellows
were half submerged. The reek
}and filth was awful. In this they
swallowed and suffered and died,
three and four per day" This
! $condition of things continued
until about the time he was taken
sick, when the hospital tents were
gradually supplied with cots, not
from government, but from the Red
}Cross Society, these being the only
fittings from the Red Cross Society
that ever passed the greedy hands
}of the officers. In regard to mis-
management he mentioned one
}incident out of many that he wit
messed. There had been a battle
}up in the mountains early in the
morning. At 5 A. M. call was
}received for twenty ambulances.
}These were ready in short time,
}but they stood until noon before
}they could be officially despatched
on their errand Of mercy. All this
|time the wounded and dying had
}to lay ry thing in their own blood
}beneath the rays of the tropical
}sun and only one half mile from
}the hospital. Space will not per-
5 nit us to mention farther details
}of the sufferings at this camp, but
$enough has been written as relat-
}ed by truthful eye witnesser to
3convince our readers that more
}suffering and hardships were
Inexperienced than was necessary.
