The magnicent Board of Trade building, valuedlat half a million dol. lara, and over a dozen big warehouses, with their valuable stocks, are in ruins, and the total loss will be about $3 000, 000. 0 V ' ` ` vvv The re started shortly after eight o clock in the wholesale clothing estab- lishment of M.

' A . the rink. The west light nearest the .in a friendly, home and home contest. It is to be regretted that the sporting editor of the Examinershould see (it now_ that the Barrie Hockey Club is out of the game, to say unkind things of the Ontario `Hockey Association, that body whom we all agreed to place ourselves under, and who, "this year,` have governed with a just and fearless hand, and ought to receive the warmest support of all clubs playing under their jurisdiction. This is not the worst feature of his report of the Collingwood- Barrie game here, but the statement regarding the xing oi the lights is en- tirely untrue, as the following account will `prove. The Barrie club have play- ed in Collingwood for a number of years with incandescent lighting and no objec tion was raised, except to the size of the rink, but this year in addition to the old. lighting we had two are lights placed in Barrie goal was put out by a lift from the Collingwood defence, andthe game was stopped. It was ` satisfactorily agreed between Capt. Smith and the Collingwocd team to play out the bal- ance often minutes of first half, and that Collingwocd should have this goal for the whole of the second half. This arrangement gave the Barrie team any advantage there was in lighting by at least twenty minutes. The lights re- mained the same from this out, so the statement that the lights were xed when Collingwood defended this goal is untrue and in the interest of the preser- vation of that good feeling existing be- tween the two clubs, it should not have been made. Similar accidents ` have happened in_Barrie, when the rink was put in darkness, when perhaps at goal for Uollingwood might have been scored but not a- word was ever said. I trust 'hat our Barrie friends will accept the result as we ,,did in Barrie, with good grace that is characteristic of _ good sports andthat we may meet again this year In the meantime we ask their support and good wishes that the championship may come to the County of Simcoe and the Northern District.
