The black cat is dead--the cat that brought good luck tothe 14th regi- ment hockey team a year ago is no moré, and in both sporting and' mili- tary dircles- to-day there is deép mourning. In connection with the death there is indeed a sad tale. The eat was a pet in a well- known home and was enjoying the best of health. Yesterday, while "pussy" was taking a little nap near the front door, an ugly bull dog came along, spied the cat and pounced upon her. The cat was so taken bv surprise that ' she was unable to defend herself and iw less time than 'it takes to tell it she was thrown to the ground and her life crushed out. Hockey sports are out with a big stick after" the cruel dog and a warm time is promised if the caniné is captured. BOY AND A DOLLAR. Said He Dropped Money, Man Picked It Up.

AT ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE -- Soiree of the "Cercle de 1'Alliance Francaise." A large number of at the al Military College, Thurs- Nay evening, _ invited by the college branch of the French Alliance, to' an Interialumont. The programme was : ning address, Cadet Crerar; song, joune Belle," Col. Tavlor; recita- Ao, SL'Taventuel," Cadet Smith; song, "La - Caresante," Cadet Monk; comedy (in one act), "Le Cavalier Pioche," Cadets. Goldie, de Lotbiniere, Mortimer, Wilmot, J.

I. u; mono logue, "Un Francais en Foose," Ca- dete MacPherson; address, Prof. Lanos; song, "0 Smads, Le Cercle; Dicu Sawve le R a The play, shidh was the 'Piece de Resistance," was very successful and kept: the audience in fits of Jaughter. Both de . Lotbiniere, as "Madame Chapueet," and Danserean, as tho Siartputuble and fraudulent "Cava showed unusual dramatic pow-- ers wg their flirtation, while it loft nothing to be desired, provided a good deal to be avoided. The fair audience was vory envious of the beauty and toilette of ""Helen™ (Wil mot). and it was observed that the superb uniform of a French lieutenant was used to some offect by Mortimer to™eaptivate his admirers both during and after the play. Goldie, as "M. Chapuzet," and Sy- mons, as the "hired girl," both ecar- ried out' their difficult parts excellent- ly. The latter is, it is understood, open to ain engagement. Cadet Crerar"s address narrated the work of the "Cercle" during the past ar, which has mainly consisted in liscussions of subjects of wide intoe- est. The secretary, (Cadet L. Dansereaun) again manifested' his uncommon abil- ity as a rhetorician. An Anglo-Sax- on would find it difficult to immerse himself in his part to so wonderful an extent. The intricate machine which Smith brought on the stage with hin: un: doubtedly justified his adulatory ac- count of if. MacPherson's "efiorts to explain the "atmosphere" he "created" in order to succes with' the lassies of Scot- land* were a fine tribute to the race he had been called pon to livel at twenty; four hours' notice. M, Lanos, the delegate of the "Cer- cle" to the Allianée Francaise, sur- prised the president, Major Mozley, by an address with which he accompan- ied the presentation of a miedal from Paris in recognition of the latter's services fo the ¢lub during the past four years. The medal was then handed to Major Mozléy by Cadet Grasett, the vice-president, whose ef forts to convey his sentiments were as unsuccessful as' were those of the hap- recipient. After the entertainment supper served, followed by a dance, Lanos was kind enough to receive the guests on behalf of .the College Cer- cle. PRESCOTT WAS DEFEATED was Mrs. In Basketball at ¥. M. C.
