AMOUNT oF | PENSION TO BE GRANTED SOLDIERS. THE I The Candidate Must Certify That the Disability Was Received While on Active Seryice--1,500 in Kingston Are on Pension List. Much .criticism . has been Js vel- | Jed at the 'administration of the | | pensien system of Canada by the G. EF. VY. A Inquiry at the local pe n- | office elicited the information discretionary powers are] by the pensions board, but amount of pension is auto- matic determined by the medi- cal- bo s through which every | man must pass before his discharge is granted. The medical boards 'note every disability, no matter its degree or what its erigin, but the members must certify that the dis- ahility was received while on act- ive service. The degree of dis- ghitity determines the amount of pension It is pointed out that there (is no possibility of neglect in any case and no man is required to make application for pension under the system in force The report of {the medical board goes to the | Board of Pension Commissioners {for Canada at Ottawa, whose medi | cal advisers "classify the disability and the man's name is immedidtely | placed on the list cf the district | eer that he comes under The | district officers for M.D. No. 3 are sitnated at Ottawa and Kingsion, and the Kingston office now has 1,- 500 returned soldiers drawing pen- sions The disabled pensioner re- ceives a pension for his disability independently of what he may earning and the amount is monthly in advance SPEEDY HORSES ENTERED RACES ARE ANTICIPAT- HOLIDAY. 1 no exerci that t he paid OLASSY ED ON Civic Kingston Gentlemen's Matinee and Driving Club Making Artange- ments For the Biggest Day in City's History.

Armar- dale, the record-breaker from Wolfe Island, is first upon the lost in the 2.13 class, and a long list of surprises will step up to the line when the bell rings out the welcome sound, A num ber of the horses that are entered have been racing at Brighton, and will be in best condition for the con- tests on Civic Holidays Fred Hal, the wonderful horse from Otfawa, is also listed in the' 2.13 class. This horse has a splendid record and can step miles in 2.10.

In the 2.22 class Penalty, of Kings- ton, Golden Rex of Ottawa, Bindare of 'Belleville, Sedalia of Bloomfield, Bobby Hill of Belleville, and 'Spier Olcott of Ottawa, are among the horses that have been entered for the competition, Tt is a sure bet that if the Government had not put the ban on the pari-mutuals that the bookers could not have kept away from staid old Kingston on the big day. Phe horse races are going "to give the citizens the biggest jolt in their life and not in years have they had opportunity of witnessing , such an excellent array of speedy horses.
