American Horsemen Must For Use of Race Track the Same As the Citizens--A Good-Looking Chairman--aAld. Tait's Retort. "We eould not have a better-look- ing man in the chair, unless it was Tait," said Ald. Sears yesterday afternoon, at the mesting of the civie Pay property committes, "You know what Sam Slick used to retorted the wan from Cata Lraqui ward, with some little show of ; disgust in his voice "He said : A lit tle taffy is very good, but too much is nauseous.' As chairman Carson was absent, Ald. Abbott stated that be had re ceived a postcard from that gentle man asking him to act as chairman Ald. Mallen thought "Carson would be here to buy the boys the oysters." Alds, Sears, Tait and Hipson were willing for Ald. Abbott to sit at the head of the table, in the arm chair with squeaky legs. Then the comsnittee turned its ay temtion to business. Samuel Conley, dog bailiff. caretak or of the exhibition grounds, ete, was present. In addressing the 'august committee he stated that two. Ameri: caus had each agreed to pay S0c. a month for the use of a stall on the grounds; alsp that they desired to use the track without paving the ad ditional fee of $1 per vear. These men had had three horses on the track since March rd, and a foucth ani: al for two weeks, Citizens were re fusing' to pay the fee while outsiders were getting around it. To make matters clear Ald. Tait moved "that all men renting stalls be | requested to pay, in advance, Se. a month for each stall used, and the usual rate of 81 for each house wsing the track during the season, and also the regulation water rate." The re solution was adopted, on the under; standing that those who have not paid for last season's use of the track be debarred from using the same un til they "square up' with the city. The committee will recommend to council that fifty loads of sand be purchased and used at. the fair grounds for putting the track in or der, $100 for this work having been aside in the estimates; that Sa muel Conley be given the contract to build one of the supports under the Crystal palace for $3 that some x pars are necessary to the grand stand and bisechers. Ald. Tait moved that George Keene he emploved to do the mweessary car' peritering work, the cost not to ex cord 85. Ald. Sears and Tait spoke highly of Keene. The chairman stated that permis sion to practice baseball on the fair grounds had been given to the Odd follows, the Y.M.C.A, and the battery tem. The committee considered that such action was justifiable. The question as to the eost of re- pairs for the city buildings was left over for a subsequent meeting st -------- A FEDERATED CHURCH. Rev. S. G. Bland On the Church of the Future. At the Ottawa Christian endeavor upion meeting, under the presidency of W. J, Cairns, Rev. 8. G. Bland de- livered an address on the church of the future, and among the interesting points touched on he spoke of the tendency at work toward the unity of the church. He said "We sec that uniformity is impossible, and we strive for unity. So long as vou have Roman Catholic ideas of uniformity vou must stand apart from otheri. God's idea 18 one of variety of rich ness, The ideas of unity and unifarmi tv are not opposed to each other but are complementary, What we owe to each other is to show not in what we agree, but in what we differ. Every thing that is consistent with tllora tion, each church must preserve. Let ug have different "forms of worship Let us have all kinds of worship wun der federations. Let ns have an in terchange of citizenship, so that an Fnplishman settling in the United States may receive at once the richts of -eitisenship, and vice versa. That's what we want in international life and what we want in church life. It will stop the multiplication of chur ches in sparsely settled districts. We want a federated church that will be a power in the discussion of import: ant questions, that will tear down indecent posters, that will deal with the liquor problem. This is not a dream: We- have a federated ehurch.in Encland. The church of the future in Canada will be a Canadian Protest ant church. The whole church, with all its gifts bound together, will work jor the establishment of God's Kini dom." : He Kept St. George's Day. All day yesterday pn large and beau titul red rose stood on the showcasé in William Baker's cigar store of Princoss street. "It. stood there in honor of the day~8t.

Nearly every seat in the Grand op era house was filled last night for the.} production of "The Country Girl" upon which the well-known comic op- era "Dolly Varden' is modelled. The revival of that old Eaglish comedy of David Garrick's has met with great faver, for the public enjoy the wholesonie English stage productions of over a cénturd ago, and greeted with applause thetold-fashioned rhym- ed epilogue. Being alike in story, it is but na- tora! that comparison should be made between "The Country Girl" and "Dolly Varden." The latter, with the dainty Lulu Glaser, brilliant music, pretty girls and beautiful scepery, has the advantage by far. And then Miss i Kithkder by no means fits the role of Peggy as Lulu Glaser would. She's too tall, and her wig is far too gar ing. But Miss Kidder is a clever act- ress, because she'enters into the spirit of the play.*In the third act, during the letter scene, she was at her best, { and in portions of it was Lulu Gles erds equal, | Supporting Miss Kidder is a com. Upany of remarkable merit. Edward | Stanley as the wicked guardian, and | Robert V. Ferguson as the foppish J gallant were towers of strength. Both are actors of very marked talent, The latter made "Sparkish" as natural a personage as could be done, and was freely. applauded in the drunken scene of the closing act. Two clever actress | oH are Miss Starion Ashworth in the {role 'of "Alethen," and Miss Olga | Flinck as "Lucy." They put life into two hard and, at first sight, dull | parts. Miss Ashworth is a beautiful famous (Queen Quality picture which whe looks very much like. : The play didn't wait for the habitu al late comers.

The city ordinances do not prohibit the erection of a temporary enclosure around the lawn in front of one's re sidence, although part of it may be public property. So long as barbed wire is not used, a low structure may be put around a lawn or boulevard in order to keep it from being tramp- ed upon. Such an enclosure is most essential at various 'street corners whers a good lawn may be destroyed by the habitual "short cut" people. Citizens Object To It. A number of citizens have complain- ed to the police that merchants meet the farmers as they get off the morn- ing trains, and buy up all the produce in sight. They want the police to stop the bukiness, hut the bobbies have no jurisdiction over such matters, because it is not contrary to the by law. It is said that such a procedure does pot come under the provisions of the foresfalling by law. ---------------------- Uniforms Will Cost More.

Then James Farley's wood. shop was gutted and was go total loss along with a lot of valuable lanber, stored in the building. In the mean time the flames had leaped the river and threatened Mr. Stickney's main foundry establishment. By heroic work, however, on the part of the scores of men at hand this building was saved. A third store-room, how ever, containing many valuable wa chine patterns, was destroyed and considerable wood and yard material.
