'The City Council on Monday event a recommendation of the Hoard of Works awarding the con- tract for the paving to Foley & Glea- son, of Ottawa, who will start work * as 'early in the spring as possible and complete it within sixty days. Soven companica tondered for the work, some of them quoting figures for' different types of pavements. The tenders closed last Tuesday and six days later the contract is awarded. 'The Board of Works' recommendation J: Ald." Nickle asked if the pavement 25¢ and § to the City Council was as follows : "That the tender of Foley & Glea- son to construet a anent pave- ment on Prifcess and King streets, be- tween Clergy and Brock streets, with the best quality of Nepean sandstone block in the track allowanes, and asphalt for - the balance of the road, four isiches of concrete under the rail- way ties, for the sum of $41,319, be accopted, the quality of the block and the specifications to be approved by the city engiheer and Board of Works before the contract is signed." In reply to Ald. Nickle, as to whe ther four inches of weoncrete under the street railway ties was the recommen- dations of the city's expert, T. Il. Mather, of Syrdeuse, N.Y., Ald. Lit- ton said it was not. Ald. | Nickle remarked that My. Ma- ther had been paid $250 for advice in connection with the paving question. The Board's Quick Change Ald. Fair declared he was surprised when the report was presented to him to sign, and he read that "Nepean sand stone block" had been substitu- ted for "'vitrified brick" since the committee adjourned at six o'clock, after two hours' consideration, and after all had agreed upon witrified brick. He could not understand the change since that time, for all the information the board members could have hatl since then 'was 'from the contractor, Mr. Foley. The sand stoné will cost 85.190 more than vitrified brick. Ald, Fair wanted the matter referred back to the board for further consideration of the relative merits of the two kinds of pave- ment. Ald. Sutherland explained that some of the members were undecided at the meeting as to whether sand- stone was worth $5,190 more than the vitrified brick. All the tendérs gave guarantees of ten years, but after further consideration and' so- curing more information the board came to the conclusfon that sard- stone would last longer than vitrifind ter grip to horses" feet. Ald. Fair left the meeting before this additidn- al information was secured, and it was then that the board decided to make the change in its first decision. Ald. Graham said he was glad the Board of Works had come to ite senses and, decided upon street: as- phalt for the roddway outside the track allowance. Asphalt was the proper pavement. As to sandstone he did not know anything about it, but if a ten-year guarantee was given he thought it would be all right. Ald. Couper explained that the board in going over' the tenders had decided upon dither sandstone black or vitrified brick for the track allowance. We himself had asked the contractor what he thought a bout the iwo pavements snd the contractor, although §t did not mat- ter to him what type of pavement was used. recommended that sand- stone be used, as his long experience qualified him to speak with autho- rity. Ald. Hughes stated that whem he learned the difference in the wear- ing qualities hetween vitrified brick and sandstone block he had no hesi- tiation in voting for the latter. Ald. Nickle wanted to know if Mr. Mather had ever stated that vitrified brick was the best pavement. Ald. Fair in reply stated that as far as he could say Me, Mather had intimated that vittified brick was the best vement: Ald. Nickle declared that nowhera could uch a statement be found in the corres) of - Mr. Mather with the Board of Works. Sandstone Superior Ald. O'Connor explained why he had' agreed to substitute sandstone for vitrified brick.' When Contractor Foley afterwards told the board mem- bers that he would guarantee vitri- fied brick for only tem years and sandstone for a longer period ho felt that it was worth the additional £5,000 for sandstone. Mr. Foley also stated that granite was the best block that could be used, "but the price was too high for «Kingston. J Ald. O)Connor further explained that the ohief work dome by Mr. Ma- ther, of Syracuse, was in preparing plans and specifications fort the street railway track allowance, » was being guaranteed; for ten years. ascarets make you feel bully; mmedi pointed out that Give | ; yi filtean 'cents re E y could ses no reason in guarantees. : Ald, Litton deelaréd that Kingston would #how other places that it was going to secure a good guarantes, He wanted to gbt the bast pavement for the eity, aud after full consideration firat cost windstone wad chosen.

If thers was fio délay 'in getting supplies the work might be dose in forty days-~ fifty at the outside. * Alds. Fair and Kent moved in amendment to the report that "vitri- fied brick" be substituted for "'sand- stone." The amendment was lost, only the mover and seconder voting therefor. The recommendation of the board was then passed unanimously. Ald. Nickle refrained from voting, owing to his intérest in. the Street Railway conpany, The lowest tenders for various types of pavement were : brick, $37,793; southern pine, $52.- £620.66; Nornay pine, $48,690; wood hlock and brick, $44,773; brick and hitulithic, #42335: brick and asphdle, 5,297; seorin block and asphalt, £40,491; Nepean sandstone bloek 'and asphalt, ¥11,319; wood block and asphalt," $43,200; lugwood block, $30, 830; asphalt block (2% inches), $41.- 350; southern long-leaf yellow pine, £50,160; granite and wood block, $49,- 592.66.

Mayoral Election Customs The election of mayors in England, in November is in some places ac- companied by quaint ceremonies. The Mayor of Lincoln, for instance, is in- dueted by placing on Lis Ruger zn ancient ring. At Cheltenham the mayor is pre- sented with a goid-beaded malaceu cane, dnd at Grantham the new chief citizen is gravely tapped ou the head with the town clerk's hammer, From time immemorial the Maydr of Brightliugsea has beem elected in the belfry of the parish church, whilst at Bournemouth the new mayor re.' ceivés a solemn kiss from his deceasor, pre- A Compromise.

Many Political Rents, i Sir John Ténniél who died asi week was the famous Engl'sh cari toonist who se mercilessly carica-. tured Abraham Lincoln duting the Clyal War. 'He was the dead of the: 'WOFId's "greit political cartoonists: Tenniel held the resord for dontinu- ous service. Fifty years were spent, with scarcely a holiday; as cartoon- ist for Lohddn Punch. His pencil pleased millions. He Bel the prinei- pal of the political cartoon so firmly that it has. been adopted the world over. His keen political foresight was worked out in more than 2,000! sketches, touching updn, and perhaps! deciding, the great world events: during the last half of the 19th cen-' tury. Queen Vietoria received the fam- ous cartoonist and in 1893 knighted him for his service to his country, His first great achievement as an illustrator was in his youth when he figuratively stepped into the hearts of children of all nations as illustra- tor of Aesop's Fables and won even more fame as the original fllustrator of Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonder- lund. "Do you suppose there is anything | funny about me?" was his answer to] the offer to join Punch in 1851, Hey had just submitted his design for frescoés in the Palace of Westmin- ster. It was with reluctance that' he gave up his ambition to be 1 great painter and accepted the offer. | Ruskin once said that the cartoonist] might have won renown as a painter, : afid added: - "Tenniel has much of the symbolic' mystery of fmagina.| 'tion which belonged to the grant! leaders of classic art." Tenniel was a wizard in forecasts' ing pelitical events. He and his. associates would 'gather on Wednes- days and discuss the subject of the cartoon for the mext week's: isguc. Thus they had to deelde a weak in advance what was to be the outcome of eurrent political trowbles. in all his half-century of servige Ten- niel, it is' said, made but one false prophécy. It was during the rebel- lion in Sudan. General Gordon and Lis army was warching to the rescue. The next issue of Punch showell Tenniel's cartoon, picturing! Gordon clasping the hand of the re- lieving general, with the army of ro-, lief in the background. The title read "At Last." The journal was scarte- ly on the newstands when word came that Khartum had fallen and Gordon and his garrison massacred." | { ! "Dropping the Pilot." Probably the most widely known! of his cartooms is. that which iljus: of j trated the resignation of Prince Bis- marck in 1889 and was ealed, "Dropping the Pilot." It pleased both the German emperor and the Iron Chancellor himself. Lord Rosebery got the original sketch from Tennte! « and presented the sketch. from Pén- niel and presenied it . to Bismarck. Napoleon Iil.: he was continually! caricaturing; the most famous cari- cature represented the emperor . in the character of Blondin crossing the Niagara Falls of revolution; there was a cartoon of the emperor play- | in "Hercules," to Eugente's "Om; phale." Disraeli found his way into innumerable weekly contributions' to Punch by Tenniel. There was no lack of humor in the "Moise in Egitto"---Disraeli as the - Sphinx winking an eye, after the great coup he had made in the. purchase of the Suez canal shares; or in the "Politi- cal School," rating his party how to, steal the liberal party's ideas, - Mr.' Gladstone probably did not see any humor In thé representation of him- | self as an old hen anxiously watch- | ing Joseph Chamberlain as a dutk- ling in a pond and wondering! "Where will be go next?" or as the baby in the basin taken from a then well-known advertisement, trying to get at a plece of soap marked "Home Rule," and with the caution. "He will never be happy without it." But the public did. Americans will remember the fur- ore treated by Tenniel during the Mason and Slidell affair in 1861 when the United States was forced in the interests of peace, to give way to England, Mason and Slidell, ap- pointed by the confederate gdovern- ment to represent it in England and 'rance, Were seized on . board an English mil stéamer by Captain Wilkes, of the United States sloop San Jacinto, and Great Britain forth- with demanded their release. Punch gloated over the episode, and Tenniel pictured Lincoln in a cartoon 'as a coon up a tree. Beneath stood John Bull with a gun.. The legend ran: Coon--"Air Colonel ?" John Bull--"T am." Coon---"Don't fire; down." ; On Lincoln's death Tenniel's bit- terness against him disappeared. His cortoon pictured Britannia in sor- row laying a wreath upon the martyred American's bier with Shir-| ley Brodk's lines: | You lay a wreath on murdered Lin-! coln's bier, : You who with mocking pencil wont! you in earnest, I'll éome to trace 4 Broad for the self-complacent Bri- tish sneer | His length of shambling limb, his! furrowed face. i Sir John was a typical old-world | gentleman---born in London in 1820.

However, in the extra three minutes he was thrown by Me- Phail, Dodds put up a very good argument against Davies, but was thrown In the six-minuté period. No one wants to kick after a coh- test, but why the decision was given against Roberts, who was the ag- gressor for at least twelve of the fif- teen minutes is a mystery that was not explained. A fall was called on Wilsoh when his shoulder was at least two inches from the mat. The sooner the Intercollegiate executive gets a competent professional wres- tle and pays him to act as referee the better. At any rate there is one official who is permanently on Queen's blacklist. Dawson Mathie- ton won his bout by getting on top of his man and staying there every minute of the time. "The Queen's boxers did very well considering their inexperience. 1n- man and Appleby fought splendid battles for novicés and Laycock gave Montgothery us much as he got.
