For that reason, necessary expenses incurred during the the months of April, May and June in equipping an Illustration Breed- ing Station with houses, incubators, brooders, eggs for hatching, etc., were shown in the Auditor Gener al's report before the house, while Jt was not possible to show in the same report the revenue derived Pi in next year's report. rated most unfairly against Bowmanville, Ont., Station, "which was established in the spring of 1902.

Good Rea for Not Marrying--Ome of His Delightful Bketches. Phil May, the artist, whose death was announced on the 6th August, was credited of late years with being able to earn as much as £100 a | day by his drawings. He began his artistie career when he was 12 years old, at which time the Grend Thea- tre, Ieeds, openod, and he became ac- quainted with the son of the local scene painter, and helped to mix the | distemper. Here Mr. May used to sketch sections of other people's de signs of costumes, and eventually he | designed comic masks and. dresses This brought bim orders for por- traits, and after a year or two the late Irederick Stimpson engaged him to play small parts, and do six sketches a week, as advertisement window bills He got an engage ment to design the dresses for the Leeds pantomime in 1882, but then determined to come to London as a tragedian, his finances at tha timo consisting of 20 shillings.' An aunt had married an actor there, and he sought her out. By his uncle he was' next day despatched again to Leecds, but he left the train and walked back te London. Then ensued a time of great privation, and the first turn of good fortune he had was when ho met the owner of a photograph shop who took his drawing of Irving, Bancroft and Toole; and published it. At last a drawing by him of Mr. Bancroft in Society brought him te the notice of The St. Stephen's Reveiw, where he was set the task of designing a cartoon, iflustrations, eover and initials for a Christmms number. A weck was given him to do this in. He worked and came from Sydney to secure an arf- ist. He went out to the colonies, later traveled America for The Gra- phic and subsequently joined the staff of Punch. May was born in 1864. Good Ressen for Net Marrying. "Phil" May worked, in his youth, on The Bulletin of Sydney, Austral- ia. Occasionally the young man would be assigned by The Bulletin people to the police courts, and from these assighments he would bring back sketches, now humorous, and now pathetic, that were admire able. One of the best of The Bulle- tin sketches hangs in the library of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. It por< trays a thin bangdog man in the prisoners' bar, talking to a very mild and sympathetic-looking Judge.
