His statements were remark- able chiey for their unbluahing attery of the Premier. - Mr. Beland secondingi the address spoke briev in` French and English. Mr. R. L. Borden, leader of the Opposition, pointed out that the speech from the throne contained no reference to many matters of great pub- lic importance such as the Alaska boundary and the fast Atlantic service,` The Pr-emier s chief contribution to the debate was the remark that no impor- tant Government measures would be introduced thissession. He admitted that the Alaska boundary question was still just where it was a year ago, an_d that nothing had been done towards calling another meeting of the Joint High Commission.

After. carefully re- minding the prohibitionists that the Pro- vince aud municipalities would lose about a million dollarsgin revenue by the sup pression of the liquor trac he passed on to compensation. Compensation was right he said and he quoted Goldwin Smith to the eifectthat if they were going to have a moral reform they should go about it in a moral away. Then he said something about the vast capital invested in the liq- uor traic-and there he stopped. It is the ills we only half know `that scare use most. That- compensation in abeyance will cause many a temperance man to stay at home on the fourteenth of next Oct.

H. A. the Barrie Club were turned down The pro- test asis well-known was against the 0ril- lia Club. The charge of professionalism was laid against Paquette. The rule is that if a charge is made against a player he must show his innocence. Paquette in his evi- dence said he `arrived in Orillia on the last train October 1st, 1901, on spec. He had noposition in view and his evidence as to working in Orillia was very contradictory. It is said that after Paquette was heard the members'of the Executive laughed at him and that every chance was in Barrie s favor. Paquette and Mathewson both came from Whitby and what the latter told Barrie re- -presentatiyes was led as evidence. It is understood that the O. H. A. to investigate for themselves sent Mr. Wm. Hanley to Whitby and that Mathewson told him he had been jollying the Barrie men. By the way, Mr. Hanley has played both la- orosse and hockey for Orillia and while a perfectly honorable gentleman it is not to be expectedthat he would break his neck to get evidence against Orillia. The O H. A. may be right but after their proclamations of 'amateurism it would be thought ' that they would give the public the grounds on which Barrie s protest was dismissed. . ` ' I. `I fn kn wnnnntnta than an p.u....I 5......
