Rt. Rev. William L. Manning,

been importuned to give his views on
the subject of Sunday and the almost
universal tendency among sportsmen
to use the day of rest for golfing. play
ing tennis, riding or whatever appeals
to them and neglecting churchgoing
entirely. The bishop in response in
sists in the religious aspect OF Sun

necessarily does not mean that 1t
should not also be a day Of happiness
and reasonable pleasure and he leaves
the Interpretation of reasonable to- the

in the utterance to show that while
the strict and rigid Sabbath of the Old
Testament has been superseded by the
joyous celebration of the Lords resur-

does not mean that the obligation to
attend divine service has been lifted.

froWns on all Puritanic ordinances

Miss Laura MacNichol. daughter of
DIR. George p. MacNichol of st. John,
N. B., who Is the foremost exponent
of horse raising in that section, has
just finished what is accepted as the
finest stables perhaps In all OF Eastern
Canada. Miss MacNichol has a de-
cided partiality for Kentucky horses,
and mindful of the fact that the en-
mate of New Brunswick is SO much
more severe than in the Blue Grass
State, she has installed apparatus
which will keep the indoor tempera-
ture lowering between 20 and 30
above zero in all sorts of weather,
and this with sweetened fresh air in
every part. DIR. MacNichol. who is
known to hundreds of Americans who
have Summer homes along the Bay of
Fundy, Is a well known naturalist and
scholar, and In his 5000 acre camp, in
which he keeps five guides and Japa-
nese cook, he is most hospitable to the
Summer tourist, and to all who come
his way. Miss MacNichol has used
the splendid logs Of her fathers pre-
serves for the exterior of the stables,
but within 1t might be called the last
word of equine elegance. More than
100 fine horses have roomy stalls, and
there is a passage 200 feet long divid-
ing these and leading into granaries
and the exercise ground. These sta
bles are on the St. Croix River and
are a show place of the region there
about. Miss MacNichol has exhibited
her horses several times in New York,
and has raced her horses in various
parts of Canada and in this country.
