The highest price paid was eighty dollars, offered by E. Cooke, of Cooke brothers, Cataraqui, towards the island market. The last three lots went for $15 each, which was the minimum price set by the authorities. The city received a total of $1,278 from the. sale. There was a large crowd of keen- ly interested farmers and their wives, with some citizens, in the market building when Market Clerk Wilson climbed on one of the tables shortly after one o'clock and an- pounced that the sale was open. The market clerk first explained the re- gulations governing the sale and purchase of the spaces. They were to be sold only to producers and the lowest bid was to be $15. Payment for the spaces could be made in two parts, one by the first of December and the second by the first Saturday in next June, He then called fof bids for the choice of the market. / A wag"s bid of five dollars for the first choloe was followed by ome of | | Meat Down Again | Round Steak ------ 14c Ib. Teabone Steak ----- 20c Ib, Sirloin Steak :---- 17c Ib. Pot Roasts --.----- 120 Ib. F Roast (boneless fmoned Roast (boneiser) Stew -- 10c Ib. Boef ---- Bo Ib. All Parts of City. W. Ball $60, which jumped quickly in five dollar lots to $70. "How much do you get for that?" "One mpace--the choice of the market," replied the auctioneer. "Of, 1 thought it was the whole market." Still bidding went on--3$71, $72, $75--at which price Charles Cun- ningham secured No. 1 space, his well-known stand on King street. The second best choice was then put on the block. A bid of $15 was followed by $50 which went on to 60-61-65 (offered by a woman) 70- 71-75-76-77, at which price, Space No. 26, adjacent on King street to Mr. Cunningham's, was sold to H. Silver. gr The highest price was paid for No. 27, opposite the former space, for which two bids were made, $75 and $80. No. 79 space, opposite No. 1 on King street, was chosen as the tourtl best-place by its buyer, T. K. Morton, R.R. No. 3, Kingston, who paid $55 for it. The prices now dropped down to the thirties and the spaces on the "central aisle" leading from King street to the island market, were sold first, with a few exceptions. Mrs. McCallum secured two adjacent to each other and in succession, at $30 each. Thomas Purdy, of Cataraqui, broke im at 15th choice, to secure his favorite 'stand on King street near the banks No. 135, his price being $25. By getting the 32nd choice, Cooke brothers, choosing No. 78, secured two spaces on the corner of King and Brock streets. Thomas O'Rourké bought the last of the cor- ner positions when for $24 at 37th choice, he secured No, 12, at the south-west corner of the island mar- ket. There had been many standing round waiting for the slump in bid- ding and by the 35th choice they got their opportunity, From this to the Jast bid the offers never went above $25. The aisle to the south of the central aisle and along the west end of Brock street were favored. When no bids could be'secured for the 56th choice the lots to the morth and the south of the police station were still awaiting buyers. A dog-fight started under the table on which the auctioneer was stand- ing while the 44th choice was in the air, and soon afterwards someone yelled, "It's three-nothing for Queen's." Some of the buyers were given slips by the market clerk and went in to the treasurer's office to pay their bills at once, receiving a permit or license én return. The following are the lots sold, the buyers and the prices paid, in numerical order (lots on the central aisle Included numbers from 15 to 26 on the south side and from 27 to 38 on the north side. The spaces on King street have been noted, except- ing mention of J. 8. Knight, who ge- cured the bank corner on King street, No. 136.

GAME WAS FEATURE Crowd of Fans Rejoiced as Awrey and Co. Got the Gate --Only Correct Scores in Town. The Whig's bulletins were seen and enjoyed by a large crowd of rugby fans who could not get away to the game in Toronto on Saturday and inside the building the large rooms and corridors were also well filled. Direct telephone communica- tion with a special wire on the field supplied a service which could not be excelled. The Whig bulletins carried the only score in town which was cor- rect throughout. Other sources gave the score as 8-1 at half-timé and were many minutes behind on'every point made, Whig phones were rushed to the limit all the time, and good service was given in spite of the fact that one phone was tied up with the field and used for no other purpose, As the scores by Queen's came in the crowd cheered lustily, Many en- quiries were made about Evans, Quinn, Veale and Walker and in- formation given as to their part in the game, In a review of the outlook for this match during the week the Whig summed up with this: «"It takes a long time to get a touch unless with the aid of lucky breaks; but Leadley is a menace from anywhere within thirty-five or forty yards." Leadley kicked three field goals and forced two single points, Former Queen's players, promin- ent public men and members of Queen's staff were just a few of those who at first anxiously and then joy- ously, scanned the Whig bulletins. One of them summarized his experi- ence after by saying: "I played the whole game over the Whig's tele- phone." RUGBY NOTES. Two days before the game, in set- ting down the likely score, a Whig writer gave Queen's a margin of ten points over Tigers, This margin proved exactly correct. The smallest of the Whig's "print- ers' devils" was also a victor on Sat- urday and to the extent of twelve dollars. This little fellow is a firm believer that Queen's cannot be de- feated and when several persons dis- puted his opinion he wagered "his all," and went home Saturday night with the money in his jeans, When Mr. Tierney, the Brock street restaurant proprietor and cat- erer, was informed that Queen's was winning in the first quarter, he re- marked: "And why wouldn't they win? I feed them." Mr, Tierney supplies the meals of the Queen's players during the training season and he surely has helped to bufld up a husky team, Well, we certainly must guess to ourselves that this makes a record for other teams to shoot at--oh, we forgot, there are still Balmy Beach and Winnipeg in the road to the Do- minion honors. 1t is hardly likely that Abbie Buett will be able to beat Queen's with a fake onside kick in the last quarter, In fact, we doubt if the Beaches could pile much of a lead over the intermediates, But that just remains to be seen and it the O.R.F.U. still fancies it- self as a senior football factor let it OUT OUR WAY whatever your needs Victoria Street.

ALLAN LUMBER CO. may be along this line " "Phone 1042. MILBANK THE QUALITY CIGARETTE trot them out next Saturday and do its stuff. That makes 27 field goals for "Pep" Leadley and next Saturday's game should bring that to an even thirty, Three in one game is not so 'bad--at three points each. Tigers certainly "pulled a bone" when they thought if they could put either Batstone, Leadley or "Bud" Thomas out of business they would win the game. By placing two or three men to watch Thomas they for- got that this would weaken their line with the result that Reynolds & Company tore holes in it. Karl Quinn, of the Hamilton Tigers, was in the city over the week-end and his face showed the effe of the battle, He was with his parents, Prof. and Mrs, Frank Quinn, Alfred street. Timmis and Tuck were the two roughest players on the Tiger team. The questionable plays that they "pulled oft"" at times were quite noticeable. A college that is getting used to Dominion championships and has al- ready accepted two. intercollegiate titles this fall was nevertheless over- joyed to hear that their representa tives had taken such a fall out of the much vaunted Bengals, To many the difference in the score was un- expected. McKelvey's absence was feared, and Evans' strength and the knowledge which he and the other ex-Queen's players had of the inside workings of the Queen's team was considered a strong point in Ham- {lton's favor. The rest of the road Yo the Dominion honors is feit to be easy. Queen's students who had not found it convenient to go to the soene of action, and college profes sors, were the most enthusiastic readers of the bulletins as the plays came over the wires, Some old Queen's players were there too, A student visiting a Chinese laun- dry Saturday night found the pros' prietor fully acquainted with the victory and its meaning. VARSITY COLLECTS ONE OF FOOTBALL TITLES, Varsity Stadium, Nov. 22.--Vare sity made sure of one inter-collegl- ate championship to-day when Vare sity Juniors defeated Loyola College, Montreal, winners of the eastern series, 27-14 in a sudden death final played on the front campus at Var- sity this morning. Loyola showed up with a very sturdy team and gave the local Collegians plenty of trouble before they blew up in the final per- fod and Varsity swamped them, It was really a thrilling game. MUNDELL'S TEAM WINS INTERMEDIATE Q.R.F.U, Montreal, Nov. 22.--Canadian Na- tional rugby football players 'are again intermediate champions of the Quebec Football Upion. They won their third consecutive title here this afternoon, when they held the . Brockville intermediates to a ecore- less draw, C.N.R. won the first game of the home-and-home series 8 to 6, and thus took the round hy the same score, The game was played om a slippery gridiron which made good football impossible, _------ a We + Mit Y,
