Thus, in the Hindoo game. four distinct armies are employed, each. with their king, each corps counting among its ghters an elephant and la-knight which slay, but cannot be slain. The Chinese game of ches, which boasts of the title of choke-choc-kong-kin (the play or the sci- ence ot war), has a river `running T through the center of the board, which 1 their elephants; equivalent to our bish- ops, cannot cross, and there is-a fort -which their kings cannot pass.

The View of Fairfield or -Clydebank from the deck of a passenger steam- er is. impressiveenough. Along a frontage of little less` than half a mile there may be resting upon the stocks in variousestages, of construc- tion the frames of nine or ten first- .. class cruisers and liners,` with several smaller craft of a miscellaneous kind. Upon one single ship alonethere will, perhaps, be a thousand men at work 1 -for now-a-days a 10,000 tonner is built within twelve months--their moving gures in comparison with `the mammoth skeleton of iron or steel looking like myriwds of tiny marionettes. But of the vast am- ount of varied work for the equip- ment of ships" which is going on over acres of ground behind the `_`slips, there is little more than a suggestion in the background of enormous sheds and tall chimneys.

In 1898 it reached a total of 466,832 tons, comprising 328 vessels. Enor- mous as these gures seem; they nev- ertheless represent a decline in Clyde shipbuilding relative to the rest of the country which has taken place during the last few years. In 1898 the tonnage launched, on the Clyde was considerably less than a third of the total launched in British waters; in 1880 it actually exceeded `one-half. But an examination of the gures clearly shows that the change in the percentage has been brought about by the advance of Newcastle, Hartle- pool, Sunderland,` Belfast, rather than by falling-o on the part of Glasgow. When steel was first in- troducedin 1878, the prestige of the Clyde for ocean liners was at its height. Accordingto data given by Mr. David Pollock}. the naval archi- ,tect, 79 of 138 vessels of 4,000`tons and upwards which were built be- tween 1858 (the Great Eastern s year.) and 1884 came from yards be- .~ tween Glasgow and Greenock.

Dun & Co. report conditions of winter wheat on the whole exceptionally encouraging. In the principal States the yield will be very heavy, and it is noticed that the few unfavorable returns are from points where only a moderate crop is ever expected. `Despite the tardy ar- rival of warm weather, harvesting is under way at all Southern points, and another big yield is practically certain for Kansas. Oklahoma reports are cheerful, most of the grain being cut, and" a fair increase over the preceding `crop is announced. Figures of acreage indicate that the total" area under culti vation this year is somewhat smaller than in 1900, but the yield per acre will average much larger. Hessian y caused injury in parts of Michigan, and sugar beet culture reduced the wheat acreage somewhat, but, never- theless, there is expected a fair yield Insects also caused havocin Kentucky: and both Tennessee and Terms suffered injury. With so much of the crop be- yond danger, and generally hopetnl news from Northern points, it is safe to anticipate a yield fully up to the most sanguine of earlier estimates. News from spring wheat sections is assuming a more cheerful tone. In- stead of complaints as to drought, there is ample` moisture, and the crop pro- gresses favorably. It is much too early to-`consider reports final, as serious dis aster may yet be experienced, but, with weather no better than average from now until harvest, there `is reason to expect a full yield of spring wheat, and the total of both- winter and spring wheat should exceed all records, with a production of 700,000,000 bushels or more. Excursion to Christian Islands. The Barrie Lacrosse Club which were to send a team to Christian Islands last Thursday to play with Stayner, sent a very mixed team, as the game being only an exhibition one was not important enough to take up a number of the regular team. The excursion was a union Sunday school picnic from `Angus, New Lowell and Stayner, and it took nearly 15 cars to take them to Colllngwood, from which place the Majestic `carried to its capacity. A gocdtime was spent at Christian Is- lands. The boys from Barrie were beaten as -far as goals were concerned, score being 3 to 1, though their play on the whole was the better. They had a new kind of eld--neither circus cut nor stubble--but a broken down berry patch, Anten Mills. 1 7 Advance porrespondgnce. Mr. Herb Knapp and Miss Mary Pratt, apant Sunday with Mrs. T.
