P-- The Parade Last Evening Witness- ed By Thousands--The Regi- ment Went Through Man- oeuvres at the Cricket Field. The fixet street parade of the 14th Regiment was held to the ericket field on Tuesday evening, and was largely attended. The regument, under com- of Lieut.-Col, Kent, left the at eight o'clock. Every company was well filled and both bands were in attendance. About two hundred and fifty men were on parade. I'he streets all along the route. of march were lined with people, and when the regiment arrived at the cricket field the crowd was very great, clearly showing that the rifle boys are still. the pride of the city. At the field, the regiment was put through its facings hy the officer com- manding, and did its work well Sergt.-Instructor Price was present and handled the regiment for a short tune. Both bands arc as strong this voar as ever before. The music furn- ished by the brass band, under Band- master Walker, is even better than be- fore, and the band deserves credit for the progifes it has made. The bugle band, TE Sergt. Simpson, was out in full strength, and furnished fine marching music. Six arc lights were put up at the cricket field and thev made a fairly good light, although it was a little dark in spots. Last year twelve are lights were in operation, but the power plant could give only half that owmber this vear. The regi- ment will parade to the cricket field every Tuesday evening until after in speetion, mand Armouries THE SPORT REVIEW. R.M.C. Cadets rreparing For the Marathon. The lacrosse team had another good practice on Tuesday evening at the cricket field. There was a full turn- out of players and a good, stiff workout was put on. The players are showing far better form than they did last season and should make a mueh better showing. They will be in fine shape to meet Brockville here on Vie- toria day. ---- Baseball On Saturday. The Canadian Locomotive baseball teams had a good practice on Tuea- day and showed up well. The seniors were to have played the R.C.H.A. on Saturday last, but will play them this coming Saturday afternoon, in the city league series. They have a good team and should make a good showing. R.M.C. Cadets Running. The cadets entered in the Marathon road race are out ruaning every day and are getting into fine shape. The R.M.C. men should give the other run- ners a pretty hard tussle, -- Horses Arriving, Horses are arriving every day for the races.

Every morning early the horses work out and quite a number go out to see the trials The entries close on Thursday, and every race is nearly filled up. -------- WHISKEY MADE HIM STEAL. Prisoner For Pen Gives Statement. Every day, the police court has a sad story to tell, and in nearly all of these cases, whiskey is at the bot- tom of it all. And the prisoners themselves admit this. "lI would not have beon here but for drink," is a statement that comes from very many of the poor unfortunates. \ A prisoner, named Johnston, who was brought to the penitentiary on Monday, to serve a term of five years for burglary, told his story "to one of the officers who came down with him to the big prison. "Do you know it was whiskey that brought all this trouble my way," he said. "I was all right until I got the taste of liquor." "Then," he added, and his eyes be- gan to fill with tears, "everything went wrong. 1 lost my position, all my friends, got info bad company, Out a BROAMNKRC000000000000000 And $100 per year you can buy a Double Dwelling With 6 rooms, good cellar, stone foundation, deep lot, drive way on each side.

He was doing well, but as he states, he fell into bad company, and then he went down the ladder very fast. He could not earn money to ' buy whiskey, so commenced to steal." While in the act of burglarizing a house one might, he was caught by the police, ---------- The pupils of Victoria school are taking a great interest in the care of the grounds surrounding ther school.

To the Kingston Milling' Company For a Line of Poles to Trans- mit Energy From Kingston Mills--Committee Won't Re- commend Perpetual Franchise. The Light, Heat and Power commit- tee at its meeting, yesterday after- noon, decided to recommend to the | city council that the Kingston Milling | company be given the privilege | erecting poles and wires along certain streets of the city for the transmis- | sion of electric energy, developed at Kingston Mills, to their premises on Ontario street. A ten-year franchise, with the privilege of renewing for an- other ten years, will be granted, but inot a perpetual franchise. Un December 19th, 1904, an agree- ment was entered into between the city and J. M, Campbell, giving the latter the same privilege with the ex- ception that perpetual use of the streets for transmission, was granted. was fought out in the ity council, and the perpetual right carried by a vote of twelve to seven. Mr. Campbell wouldn't accept any- thing else, holding that the agree: ment fully protected the city, as he could use the power transmitted only" for his own mull purposes. The agree. ment lapsed after two years. Power was never developed by My, Campbell for the reason that the government lease of the water falls at the Milly was not secured "till May lst, 1908, Hence another agreement has to be entered into. The streets over which the power would be transmitted are from the north-eastern city limits along Mon- treal street to Queen street; down Queen street to Ontario street, and along Ontario street to the company's premises. The agreement will provide as did the old one that the power transmit- ted over this line shall not be carried or distributed beyond the premises of the company, between Brock and Princess streets, south of Untario street. The use of the electrical energy will thus be restricted to the present milling company and its suecessors. The company will be required to in demnify the city from all actions and claims for damages in respect of in juries arisihg out of the construction or maintenance of the transmission liné. At the outset, Ald. Couper opposed a perpetual franchise. He said he wouldn't vote for such a thin- and suggested five or ten years. Ald. Ap- grove agreed that ten years would be all that the cy council should grant, with the privilege of renewal for an other ten years. Alds. Chown and Givens al€o concurred in this, and the committee was, thereford wmanimous. A by-law and agreement will be pre- sented to the city council at its meet- ing next week. The . recommendation of Manager Folger, that the Frontenac Cereal company be taken on as a consumer and supplied with current for a period of one year at a fixed rate of four cents a kilo-watt, with a quarterly consumption of not less than 500 kilo-watts, was adopted. Munager Folger reported that can- vassing for gas services on different streets was proeteding. Residents on Upper Colborne from Division to Chatham; Lower Bagot from Ordnance to Bay, and Earl street from Divisio, to 'University avenue, asked that can- vassers be put to work on these thoroughfares. The committee sdecid- ed to do this. In attendance at the meeting were : Alds. Givens (chairman), Chown, An- grove and Couper. A Liberal Offer.
