IMPORTANT GAME ON THIS EVENING High School and Front St. Meet in Second of Playoffs The most important softball game of the season will be play- ed this evening at the Public School grounds when High School and Front Street meet in the sec- ond game of the playoffs, Front Street won the first game and a win for them this evening will mean the championship as they were also the winners of the first schedule. A win for the Students would mean the play- ing of a further game to decide the second schedule leaders and should the Students luck hold and they win two games a fur- ther series will be necessitated to find the champions. The game this evening is called for 6.45 p.m. and it is hoped to get the game under way sharp at that time. In Tuesday's game it was dark before the short five in- nings game was played and the Students in particular had no chance to see the ball in the tinal frame, The team will bse much about the same tonight as they were on Tuesday.

MacKay af Kingston, who lived to the age of 92, was the original contract for the erection of some build- ings at the Britith dockyard on Point Frederick, now the site of the Royal Military College of Canada. Captain MacKay was born at the dockyard where his father was engaged and when a little boy he sat on the bank of the river opposite Kingston and watched the building of the first wooden bridge across the stream to the city shore. The captain also witnessed most of the events at Kingston during the Upper Canada Rebellion, The contract, written in ink, 'on foolscap, is dated Apri] 4, 1822, and was made out between John Corry of the town of King- ston, Province of Upper Canada, and Matthew Mends, His Majes- ty's Naval storekeeper, in behalf of the King, and Corry agreed to perform carpenter and joiner work: in the erection of a certain range of cottages, 16 in number, only five of which were to be taken in hand at a time, so that the whole range would be finish-' ed on or before the second of October, 1822. The contract price was 1,650 pounds Halifax cur- rnecy, ($8,260) and a further consideration of one shilling eight pence per yard for lathing and plastering of good two-coat work. At the expiration of every month from the commencement of work, John Corry was to re- ceive two-thirds of the sum at the rate aforesaid that might be due thereon upon inspection and approval of the military engin- eers, and the remainder of the money on the completion of the cottages, ! Reference is made in the con- tract to an Act passed in the reign of George III entitled '"'An act for restraining any person concerned in any contract, com- mission or agreement made. for the public service from being elected or sitting and voting as a membes§ of the House of Com- mons"; and. 'it is expressly de- clared 'and these presents are upon the express conditions that no member of the House of Com- Oshawa mop, be admitted to any share (| or part of this contract or agree- "nent or to any party or share of the agreement whatever." The naval dockyard at Point Frederick was established in the year 1788, four years before Kingston was made capital of Upper Canada. A wooden fort was erected close to the site of the present Fort Henry and replaced with the present fortiffcation in 1832. There were 1,200 men em. ployed at the British dockyard at its busiest time, and more ac- of § the large number, a stone '"frig- ate" was erected and completed with quarter deck and hammocks slung for sleeping. It was called ""H.M.S. Stone Frigate" and now forms part of the dormitories of the Royal Military College of Canada, which has just re-opened for the autumn term. The R.M.C. was founded in the year 1876 and the site was chosen by Pre- mier Alexander Mackenzie, who had, as a young stone mason, worked on the martello tower fortifications which still surround Kingston harbor. Every motorist is familiar with the locomotive "chime" blown at level crossings. Operation rules and regulations demand that this signal be given at whistle posts for every grade crossing and there are many of them blown--two long blasts, followed by two short. What the motorist may not know is the cost for giving these signals... A. D. Ferguson, assistant engineer of the Cana- dian National Bureau of Econ- omiecs, in an article in the Cana- dian National Railways Maga- zine, states that experiments show the blowing of a lecomo- tive whistle for one minute will cost five cents for the coal used in generating the steam required. Incidentally, to stop and start a train costs the railways from 200 to 600 pounds of coal, ac- cording to the size of the train. 2 DAYS OF BARGAINS -- NeW = Fall Millinery 50 only Hats, to be sold during these 2 days at a great reduction in price.
