Jocals by a score of 8 to 5. There were about 8000 spectators who witnessed x fast and interesting game.. The Galts had beaten Guelphs 7 to 2 in their own woodshed, but they . gave the. local squad a fair argument. At balf time the Berliners lead 5 to. * ht within 34 minutes of time . the scoreâ€"was tie at five all. Then Rolly Young‘s men left out, and by theitime Referee Knell rang his dong, the ‘‘Kaiserines‘‘ had plugged three past Mercer. ; â€" Serviss started the scoring . a Galt â€" followed, and this order W followed in the next two goals. Th Berlin made two in succession, 1 lowed by Galt‘s third, and then B« lin got one more before half time In the second half there was no scoring in the first fourtecn minutes, Then Galt came with two in sucéesâ€" sion, tying the score. The Dutchmen then exterded themselves, running in three in an apparently easy manrer. Galt was under the disadvantage of having â€" played a â€" Lard game with Guelph in the afternoon. Petc Chariâ€" won, with the Cochrane brothers, on the Galt team, made it seem Almost like another Berlin team. Marsh Cochâ€" rane did the cleverest shooting of the game. The most efective man on the ice was Dumart, the big Berlin right wing. Lehman _ pulled of hair â€" raising stunts in the nets, and Young . was most effective. Serviss, the Winnipeg man, showed _ a great improvement and looks like a fixture. Berlin is afâ€" ter two other â€" stars, and has sent transportation to Kerr of Winnipeg. Pitre is mentioned as another . man Berlin would like to secure. Pete Charlton had to lay up for about half the game owing to a bad injury to his foot and Serviss got a bad cut over the eye. There was some heavy checking, but no serious injurics. even money. Galt.

Few people réeditze the extraordiâ€" narily high divorce rate in the Unitâ€" cd States, so that the announcement that one marriage in every thirteen will be terminated in the courts comes as a rude shock, and indeed this rate is higher than in any . of the foreign countries where statistios have been compiled. In the number of marriages the United States ranks well up in the front, for the percentâ€" age based on the total population is equalled by reliable statistics of no other nation, and, based upon . the adults of marriageable age, it is cxâ€" ceeded by Hungary alone.
