SLORIOUS OUTINGS CAN BE HAD F FROM THE PORT OF KINGSTON, And One of the Best Water Trips is That Made Possible By the Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte Navigation Co. Kingston is blessed above many other places by the variety and beau- ty of its water rips. In summer it is a natural point for excursions, and every day and almost every hour of the .day, ong may find exhilaration and pleasure upon the many steamers hat go in and out from this port. I'he routes are in all directions 'and wherever -they are the scenery is of a type that constantly attracts atten- tion. But, deservedly, among the many beautiful trips irom this city is that of the steamers North King and Caspian, tari and Bay of Quinte Navigation company. Its water trip is one of the finest on the inland lakes and courses through a section of country, that stands unrivalled for beautiful scen- ery. The steamers of this company n reality charming house boats withall the comforts of home upon them, Kingstonjans and others who have not spent a day and night upon the water, under the care of the of- ficera of these boats, do not realize what they have missed. The route through the charming Bay of Quinte, along six miles of the Murray canal, and thence across Lake Ontario to Charlotte, N.Y., is a trip that is free from the peculiar annoyances of landsmen. It is rarely that the waters are so disturbed as to produce mal- de-mer. Recently 4 Whig man had the plea- sure of a sail across the blue waters traversed and found life's joys greatly enhanced thereby. No ome can go wp the Bay of Quinte without feeling that nature has wonderfully endowed that part of the country, and if this section was as well -known as are the Thou- sand Islands, the Muskoka Lakes, or many of the other beautiful stretches of scenery throughout Ontario,, al- most everyone would become convine- ¢d that right at one's doors is scen- ery as rich as can be found anywhere else. The waters of the bay are calm and clear, the ozone refreshing and bracing, and fishing is of the best, while a score of ports along the bay bring the tourists and campers with- in easy touch of the centres of popu- lation. Nowliere can img summer life be enjoyed than with- ing a few hours run of the gateway to the St. Lawrence, the Limestone City. The steamer North King is a fast boat, steady and staunch, and as good as the day she was turned off the ways. She was in her early days called the Norseman, but in recent years a change was 'made in her to remember. She is well equipped throughout, her rooms in good taste, clean and bright, her saloon a place of comfort, with piano and richly up- holstered chairs and settees. The dining-room is large, cool and well appointed. The linen is good, the cutlery and china of the best, the menu, extensive and refreshing and ev- erything served with delicacy and taste by the white-garbed men. Good order and a studied desire to have cleanliness everywhere is evidenced; these things commend themselves to ladies especially, for, as a rule, five to one is the proportion of these travellers, The officers are gentleman- ly, polite and obliging, qualities that go far to make an outing enjoyable. They are unobtrusive and quiet, yet when approached are found affable and entertaining. Capt. John Jarrell is, indeed, a mine of information on lake and river lore, his twenty-three years service on the North King giving him wide experience. He is an extensive reader too, and can discuss the latest topics with as much freedom as he can descant upon the lively episodes of a navigator. When it is recalled that the North King in a season cov- some 20,000 miles, and carries thousands of passengers, it is readily conceived - that Capt. Jarrell has learned much in his many years of service. His great care and his ap- preciation of the confidence of those who seek his ship are seen in his so- ber face, and his quiet bearing. He knows the responsibilities of his office and he would not break faith, even with a child, in his duty towards the hoat's patrons. And what is said of the captain can be said of évery one of the officers and crew. They work in harmony and with a desire to made 'a record for the craft: to con- tinue to maintain the popularity ac- « uired. Engineer Alexander Milne is ke the old wheel horse, as steady as the day is long. His engine is as bright and as noiseless as oil and care can make it. It is like a friend to him, for he installed it many moons ago, and now, after years of separation, he is back to swing the levers and turn the wheels he is so fond of handling. Steward Henry Wemp is another old-time servant of the publie. He can turn : out dainty viands, just about smooth and 'salt enough to suit every taste. His menus are tne best the price can afiord, and he sees the edibles are served with a skill that enhances their excellent gual- ities. + 8. E. Thompson, a Kingston- jan, js purser, and aided by K. Spangenberg, of Belleville, they make a team that for business. capacity, courteousness and attention to the financial department cannot be eclips- ed.. They are Johnnies:On-The-Spot when information is desired, The oth- er efficient and agreeable officers are: First officer, T. A. Nicholson; second officer, F. Trousdale; chef, Charles Hoselton; baggageman, W. Davidson. A feature ta be favorahly noted is a policy that has always characterized the company, namely, keeping its steamers in the best possible condi- tion. The exterior of the North King in its showy whiténess, is only rival. ers | led by the spic and span neatness of the interior. Few eyer consider how constantly the North: King and her sister Whip, the Caspian, are on the go.

The steamers make their schedule with a regularity surpassed by no other steamers of their class. It may be news that from forty to fifty employees are engaged on each boat. One thing that newspaper men appreciate is that thé company spends about $3,000 a year in advertising its services and the points of interest it serves. May the company thrive while it seeks to give pleasure to thousands and to sedulously care to please and entertain the eye and palate of the throngs that erowd the da:xs of the-e boats. A : MAY WAX'S RACE. Telling of the Swiftness of the Trotser- Brockville Time Brockville Times : The 2.22 trot and pace furnished a = surprise to every- body but the talent. Elita, after tak- ing the first heat in handy style, was forced 'to give way to May Wax, which 'made it a procession in the following three. The Kingstos mare did not strike her gait till "the sec- 'ond time out. Then she easily out- classed the field winning without any apparent difficulty. The remaining horses 'brought the stand to their feet in fights for second and third posi- tions. Invariably all were bunched at the wire driving under the whip. Har- vey Sheldon drove a splendid race in the third: heat, when he came from last place with Eagle Pointer and finished second to May Wax, beating Pauline by a nose. Wearing A Smile. Napanea Express, 'the mempers of the local baseball team and all their enthusiastic sup- porters are wearing the smile that won't come off, and quite rightly, too, for their win on Wednesday was a most creditable feat 'indeed, as thé Oriental Baseball Club, of Kingston, is without doubt the best all-round amateur aggregation in this section of the country, and when any other team puts it all over them they are going some, but the locals did the trick in one of the best games ever played in Napanee. ---- Sporting Notes. Stovall, of Cleveland, had his left arm broken in a collision with Pitch- er Willett, of Detroit. Frank Gotch, the heavyweight cham- pionship wrestler, won the the match with Dr. Roller at Seattle, in straight falls, At San Francisco, Joseph Gans and "Battling" Nelson, will meet, this af- ternoon, in a forty- five-round boxing contest for the lightweight champion- ship, The result of Wednesday's lacrosse games places Tecumsehs in the lead of the league and Noateal at the bot- tom. All the other teams are tied with two wins and as many losses each. At New York, Boston Americans shut out New . York, and Cy. Young not only pitched a no-hit game, but batted in four of the eight runs made by the visitors. Only one of the New York men--Niles--succeeded in reach- ing first base. The Inglish A.A.A. sports at Lon- don, to-day, will be 'almost a full dress rehearsal of the Olympic games. Canadians are entered in each event. The Vancouver boat Alexandra won the international race against the vacht Spirit of Seattle by half an hour. This is the first jn the series of three for the Dunsmuir cup. At Rbiladelphia, the Canadian cric- ket players, representing the Toronto Oricket Club, began a match ves- terday, with the Germantown Cricket Club, at Manheim. The Toronto team scored 264 runs in the first inning and the Philadelphians had made 67 runs for one wicket when stumps were drawn for the day. 'Montreal and Cornwall lacrosse teams will continue the struggle they had in the Factory town on Domin- ion day, when they meet in the return match, to-day, on the M.A AA. grounds. The same teams that met in the record match in Cornwall, when it took forty minutes overtime to decide the result, Will oppose each other again. None of the players was seri- ously injured in that battle, STRUCK BY STREET CAR. Father and Son Receive a Severe Shaking Up. The fact that the street car was only travelling at a very moderate rate of speed, was the means of pre- venting what would in all likelihood have resulted in a very serious acci- dent, at 5.55 ¢'clock, Friday after- noon. Levi Robinson, driver for the Imperial laundry, had been out Union street. At the corner of Albert street he drove in front of a street car, and the motorman had no time to stop the car. Robinson and his fourteen-year- old son, who accompanied him, were thrown out on the road, and the rig was badly damaged. They were push- ed away clear of the tracks, and out side' of some bruises and a severe shaking up, they were uninjured. Mr. Robinson is somewhat deaf, and says that he did not hear the bell, on -the car ring. Had the car been going very fast, the accident would certainly have resulted more seriously. B. A.

YEAR OFFER TO THE KINGSTON MILLING - COMPANY For Use of Streets For Carrying Power, Line to Its Flour Mills Company Wants Fifty Year Framchise, # i The civie light, heat and power committee met yesterday afternoon, at the plant ofiice, as usual. The change of meeting place has not been a success, as often' documents and in-- formation are rqired which can be had only at the city buildings, and: it is doubtful 'if the Adlemrors of the committee know anythin more about senerators and engines than they d re months ago. his is not intended as a reflection on Alds. Elliott and Chown, for they are the experts of the committee and knew all about the plant long ago. Those ose present at yesterday's session were : Alds. Givens, Elliott and M Cann. The other members yere on vacation and out in ow asic But. we're men The chief the applicati of the diasasion, Nill. ing company for a vear franchise of certain streets over hich to carry wires for the transmission of electric energy from Kingston Mills to its flour mills on Ontario street. This matter was before the iftee be- fore, but a franchise of only ten years with the privilege of renewal for an- other ten years, was hen. This the company said it couldn't accept as it would probably have to expend $25,000 in getting the energy to its- mills, and must have a' longer fran- chise. Accordingly, it asked alty years? the limit allowed by the sta- tute. When the company applied three years ago, it was given a perpetual franchise, but the work not having been started . within two years, the agreement lapsed. This year's eommittee did not take kindly to a fifty-year franchise. It was too long, the members all said, They wanted to help the milling com- pany, but didn't want to give away the rights of a succeeding generation. The company said it must get water power if it was to continue to com- pete with other milling companies in nearby towns and villages. which had cheap power. After some discussion, it was moved by Ald. McCann that the company he offered a 'fifteen year franchise, with the option of renewal for fifteen years, if agreeable to the city when the time expires. The mo- tion was adopted. The city council will debate this question next Mon- day evening. Tt was decided to call for tenders for the purchase ol an old generator, which has been4in use at the plans needed. Several small tenders ivert awarded, and some routine business was trans- acted, City Property Committee. The city propetty committee 'met at three o'clock, yesterday aftérnoon, with Alds. Angrove (chairman), Free, and Graham preset. 4 Only one matter of interest was be- fore the committee. Boal owners at the foot of West street complained that the vessels of Wrécking company blocked the wharf and ship, and asked that the city take steps to have the nuisance re- medied. The matter was referred to the chairman and Alds. Toye and Hen- derson to consult with the city solici- tor, and with power to act. t Fire And Finance. The fire committee met at four o'clock, Alds. Rigney (chairman), Hen- derson, Nickle and Robertson being present. The appiication of Fireman Samuel Hall for increase of salary on account of having extra duties to perform in attending to the alarm lines, was held over. In the meantime, the city clerk will enquire of the chief why the line work has not been divided as ordered by the committee some time ago. A report from: the chief regarding one of the brigade was considered by the committee in private. The finance committee 'met in the evening, and transacted business re- quiring immediate attention. The mat- ter of providing entertainment for the grand lodge of Foresters which meets in Kingston next month, was left to Mayor Ross and Ald. McCann. All Aboard.
