The Mems club of St. Georges par ish held one of their "get-together'' meetings last evening, at their rooms on Beechwood avenue. This meeting marked the end of the billiard and bowling tournaments which have been in progress for the last two months and President Fred Barlow awarded the prizes to the winners of these two contests. In the billiard tourney Jacob Raifstanger captured the first honors, while Arthur Bradshaw car- ried off the second prize. The honors in the bowling contest were divided between Edward R. Hunt, an expert in hitting the wood,'' who ran so far ahead of his ticket that no one else had a show at first prize, and Harry H. Nichols who was success full in pulling down the second hon orS.
 This growing organization of St Georges parish was addressed at length last evening by President Bar row, who outlined great things for ii to accomplish during the ensuing year.
 A very enjoyable evening was spent and a bounteous collation. served by the Entertainment Committee

 end of Nova ZembIa and thence east. wardly to the vicinity of the Lakov Islands, off the Delta of the Lena river on the northern Siberian coast Here he believed the ice would be driven to the northward and thought It would take him near the North Pole. There is some uncertainty as to the exact point reached by Anrund- sen in Siberia. Anadir is not the name of town, but of river which rises northwest of Kamchatka and flows eastward, emptying into the Pacific. To reach this river by the sea he would have been forced to gt through Boring Strait, between Si- beria and Alaska.
 There is a Russian trading post known as Anadyrsk located on the Anadir river about 300 miles from the mouth of the stream but Amund- sen could not reach it by vessel, as is indicated in reports. If he should have reached that town, it seems probable he landed from his ship on the northern coast of the continent and made the trip southward by land
 The mouth of the Anadir river is about $500 miles east of Dixson Isl and where Amundsen began his Iong arctic voyage.
 Amundsen's purpose was not pri. marify to reach the north pole but to make scientific observations, take soundings, study the drift of polar ice and collect important data as tc oceanic conditions in the far north.

 M. CaillauX received the news Of his conviction stoidly, showing less temper than at any time since the trial began. That the fight is not over and that his friends in the high court are fighting to the bitter end, was shown this morning when after a two hours session the court failed to agree on the text of. the verdict to be read to M. CailIaux rejecting the text presented by the investigation commission of the Senate as too Sc were.
 Article 7S of the military code, un- der which Cai1laux was convicted, dates back to 1908 and was aimed especially at French business men guilty of corresponding with British brokers during the continental block ade and giving them the stock ex- change figures and other information.
 M. CaiIlaux's plans for the future have not been made public but it is learned on good authority that if he is sentenced to punishment for any length of time he will proceed to South America.
