enough hsh to supply the entire trust.
Boxes bearing the brand OF the

readiness on PaladinTs wharf. along
side Of similar stacks marked by the
name Of PaladinL The boxes had been
in the Psladini shed since Saturday,
waiting for the Iolanda, which made
fast at o'clock last evening. The

sITIATION PECILIAR


The trust finds itself in a peculiar
position. II it sent out both sets of
tugs it would be compelled practically
10 dump the catch of one boat The
fish boss Of each set would in that
event be instructed 10 bring in half the
usual amount throwing the excess into
the sea
The "oversupply' Of fish is the main
problem of the trust. To ship il TO the
glue works or TO carry it back to the
wharf for dumping outside the heads
would only add TO the evidence as to a
continuous conspiracy
Wholesalers complain that San Fran
cisco eats FISH only once a week They
point TO this fact and also the differ
ence between wholesale and retail
prices TO show that the retailers are
the ones who make fish high
Retailers answer that if it were not
for the people who eat fish on Friday
san Francisco would eat almost no fish
AZ all. The people have ceased to con-
slider fish a staple food ever since its
price was made as expensive as meat.
The retail hshmen formed an asso-
citation as late as the last week be-
cause Of grievance resulting from the
Friday business.
Fish is so expensive that very little
is sold except to hotels and restaurants
on days other than Thursday and Fri
day. The retail men must then add to
the wholesale price not only the
weight Of the waste, such as heads and
tails, but something TO even UP on the
losses Of the other days. For this rea-
son they feel that they should be given
an opportunity TO compete on equal
terms with the butcher shops and fruit
markets. which sell fish only for the

I of the collisions between the players
and the manner in which all seem to
invite danger from this cause. A much
higher rate of speed is attained by the
Contestants than is possible in any
game played on foot. yet they come to-
gether with no seeming regard for the
consequences. 1t is quite remarkable
that serious accidents are so few in
number. A hockey match is played in
two O-minute halves, with an inter-
mission of 10 minutes. 1t is character
istic that almost all experts at this
game are small of stature
The Game OF Lacrosse.
- Lacrosse is not a winter game, yet
ii always must be mentioned in the
same breath with hockey, because the
principles of the two are similar and
both are native to Canada Lacrossefs
the national sport Of the Dominion.
More people can be mustered for a
championship exhibition of this favor
lite game than possibly could be got
together on any other occasion.
Whether it is because there is a stick
to handle, or that it requires grit, It is
conceded that lacrosse is an Irishman's
game. The Shamrocks CT Montreal
have been the worlds champions most
of the time during the past Is years,
and the list of players during that
! period shows more Murphys than any
other name.
Lacrosse was originally an indian
game 1t was played in the open coun-
try with an unlimited number Of play
ers upon each side. In the big games
which were played on certain Occa-
sions, one entire tribe would be pitted
against another. Later when contests
were inaugurated between picked
squads of indians and whites, the red
men invariably won. But after stricter
rules had been imposed the hardy
braves gradually lost their prowess,
until now there is no indian team that
can hold its own against the white
players.
Skating in Canada.
Skating IS the universal pastime Of
Canada 1t Is not unusual for a native
to learn the stroke at 6 years of age
and to keep in practice until he is so.
The winter at homes" given outof-
doors at government house in Ottawa,
with huge bonfires to provide light and
heat for those in attendance, are most
enjoyable affairs.
On account of skating being so pop
ular in Canada it follows that there is
a demand for skates Of approved style
and quality. The expert will have
only those made of the finest tempered
steel. All those who engage in sports,
SUCH as hockey and racing. and most
of those who skate fer pleasure, use
runners that are attached to special
pair Of strong boots that lace tightly
aboyt the ankle for support
In the scrimma ges which occur dur
ing the skating games it frequently
