Adam Beck in Toronto, and the latter told him to organize the eastern municipalities and find out what power would be required. Mr. Beck said that the , commission could not give Kingston a cheap rate alone. The municipalities' representatives met in Brockville on Dec. 15th and a communication was sent to Mr. Beck asking for priees for power for the following places : Kingston, 1,200 horse power; Rrockville, 1.000; Morris burg, 2000; Prescott, 5; Lans- The Y M.C.A. hockey team have ar- ranged a gam' with the Midaight Sons of Victor Hall for an exhibition game at the Stadinm rink for next Tuesday It is said that the Y.M.C A's are going to devour the Mid: night paraders but the Victor Hall ing, Orillia Played Better Hockey.
