C. Maddock and W, C, Hutchinson. that they are acquiring a twelve-year lease on al hotel building to be erected at Vie- toria and Bond streets. Construction | work on this building is expected to start within a few days. The property on which the hotel will be erected is situated immediate- ly north of the Regent Theatre and has been purchased by William Lori- mer and R Bruce Scott, of Oshawa from 'the Famous Players Canadian Corporation, The frontage on Bond street is 8214 feet, and the depth of the property on Victoria street is 85 feet, Plans are now completed for the rection of the hotel, which will have a moderate-piice cafeteria and a high class grill room on the ground floor, It will be of solid brick and steel structure, fully modern in all its details, The hotel will be at least three stories in height, and will con, tain about seventy rooms, Hot and i cold water will be provided in every | TOO oy and the ma] lority will have pri- bath ace ndation, The plans yrs prepared by a prominent firm of Te pronto architeets.

"Aladdin," which will be seen at the New Martin Theatre on Wed. Jan. 11 is a first-rate entertainment which preserves all the best qualities of the pantomime that has been so popular throughout the length and breadth of the Old Country for so many years, The principals are all well-known English artists of established repu- tation, Dave Lee, the leading come- dian, who will play the role of the Widow Twankey, is a pantomime ar- tist of long experience. Bertha Russell, who will be the leading "boy," is a piquant and appealing personality; Lillian Barnes, who will appear as Pekoe, enjoys widespread popularity in England and Australia in revue, musical comedy and pan- tomime; Molly Molteno will be re- membered as from Sir John Martin- Harvey's company and with the "Hullo, Canada" revue. Harry Gil- more, Florence gCameron, and Fred Wolgast are also resourceful and capable entertainers. In addition there will be a great dancing term, the Twelve English Rosebuds, and the Brothers Lorenzi, | Canadians who have won their way in England; and the four Wards, a | yocal quartette of merit. With sixty drops, eleven different scenic settings, and numerous cos- tume changes, spectacular effects, and all the essential parapharnalia of pantomime at its best, "Aladdin" is sure to prove a big drawing card. Its triumphant opening tour through Ontario is on adequate augury of its success throughout the Domision. W. OC, SMITH, city engineer of Oshawa, left today for St. John, N.B., to sail on tne © 8. 8.

"We come to the conclusion that the death was accidental and that from the evidence sub- mitted we are nnable to attach blame to the driver of the tfek,. We would recommend that the proper authorities see to it that the law with regard to vehicles travelling on pub- lic highways carr ing rear lichts or reflectors be emforc- ed."

He had been walking east on the north side of King street when he saw Gomme riding his bieyele, going east on the rivht s'de of the road. The truek turned out to pass him, and when it was half way past Gomme he fel) off his bicycle, but the wit- ness did not know whether the truck had either hit or rum over the deceased, Marshall ran over and picked the man ap, findind hinr lying on his back with his arms spread out, and while he was hold- ing hin he turned his head and then went limp. The man and the bicycle were about three feet from the curb, and close together, A ear stopned behind and took Gomme to the hospital, accompanied by Smith, Clare Kennedy who was with him in the truck, and Marshall, Witness had seen the bicycle plainly until the' truck obstructed his view. " George Hewis, Whitby, was the ext witness, being the driver of the car which took Gomme to the hospital.
