ketbaN purposes which was submitted

Journal for publication, the MANAGE
ment of the Co. H team makes the fol-
lowing explanation as to the reasons
why these privileges were denied the

To the Public:
The management of the Co. H bas-
ketbail team feel that there has been
some misunderstanding in regard to
the use of the ArmOry for that game.

agreement was made with the w. H.
5. management to pay half the ex-
pense of putting in fixtures for protect
ing the Armory from damage and also
furnishing the baskets. The sum
named was $12. but for some reason
the management of the w. H. S. has
failed TO meet their obligation.
The Armory is hired one night each
week by the State for the use of ca.
II as drill hall and for practical in
structiOn, also for use as a store room
for property belonging to the State.
under the supervision of the company
commander. When the Armory is
used on other nights by the company
the city is paid for that privilege. We
do not know what arrangements other
teams have made in regard to the mat
ter, but we do feel that our side of
the controversy should be known.
The statement in The Mail signed by
w. II. S, '01. referring to the mayors s
sanction for the use of the hall. given
through Co. II. is wrong, as the man.

taken that responsibility unless told to
do so.
Referring to the soaring of the floor.
we quote a verbal order of the manage
ment of Co. II team: No man will be
allowed upon the floor to play or prac-
tice basketball unless wearing shoes
with rubber soles and without heels, -
which order has been strictly enforced.

Sunday Occurrences in London.

The East End of London is setting
up in the honey business. The old st.
Georges Mortuary was recently trans
formed into a nature study museum
ard ona of the exhibits IS a hive of
bees. AS the result of the first sum-
mer's work about twenty pounds of
honey has been formed in the hive, and
is of excellent quality. 1t is somewhat
OF a mystery where the bees have
gathered the honey. Miss Kate M.
Hall, the borough curator, thinks that
they must have made a raid on cargo
Of sugar that was landed at 1imehOuse.
The London County Council has
framed a new bylaw which practically
makes the use of soap among school
children compulsory. Under the new
scheme of the educational committee
several certified nurses have been ap-
pointed to examine the condition of the
scholars. Children in a dirty state are
excluded. and the parents summoned
for nOn-attendance. They also have
learned the trick of backing their
hands and faces ION purpose" in order
to be sent home. The process Of wash
ing affords brief vacation.
The London Builder makes the state
ment that the extension of the Mall as
a professional road, through Spring
Gardens into Charing Cross, involves
the demolition, already begun, Of some
remaining buildings in Spring Gardens.
and of the two houses at Charing Cross
near Drummonds banking house. The
latter mark the site of the Bulls Head
tavern and of the next door house,
where Milton lodged for a while.
The London Graphic says the decay
of seriousness is a remarkable feature
Of the moment in England. The Brit
ish public of today cannot be induced
to attach Importance to the thousand
and-ore matters and controversies
which did or would have deeply con-
cerned our predecessors. In society
there is the same tendency to take life
easily and not to be in earnest except
in the pursuit Of pleasure.
