Schedulms Have Been Well Drawn Up, as Only Once Do Dates Cons flict----~Notes on Sports. From all appearances," the Kingston siting rink will be a mighty busy place this winter; so much so, in fact, that two different games have been scheduled for the one night. In only one instance, as yet, has this occur- red, but the ' junior and intermediate Intercollegiate schedule has not been drawn up yet. There are two junior O.H.A. teams, a senior O.H.A. team, a senior Intercollegiate team, two in- termediate and three jumior Intercol- legiate teams all to play on the rink. 'This senior Intercollegiate schedule, as well as both junior and senior O.H.A. schedules, have been drawn up, and the only time the dates conflict is on Friday, January 28th, This night Varsity plays (Queen's here, and Belle ville is. scheduled to play Frontenac junior O.H.A. team here that night also. The senior game will get the pre ference, and the result is that the oth- er game will have to be shelved, un- less some arrangement can be made whereby a doubleheader may be played. The following is a list of the games so far scheduled to be played at the covered rink this wiftter: Jan. 3--Belleville vs. K.C.1 Jan, 5-Picton ve. Frontemacs, Jan.

The proprietor of every hotel in Kingston has complied with the law in providing meals, beds, stables, yards and fire escapes for the pro- tection of his boarders. It is said around by men who should be above conducting a campaign of falsehood and slander that this is not true Itis and you can easily prove it by enquiring from the license commis sions. This being true they are hotels in the strict sense of the law and should not be injured »t a timo when we need hotel aécommodation so badly.
