REMINDER REAL ESTATE -- i 1 Craig took place' from the residence of her J THE TATH REGIMENT : + THAD ITS FIRST TURNOUT ON FRIDAY EVENING. Owing to the Wet Grounds it Pid Not Drill at Cricket Field--Regi- ment Will be Well Represented at . Camp. ; \ The first battalion drill ok the 14th Regiment, I'W.0. Rifles, held Friday evening, was very satisfactory, for the initial turnout. There were nearly 250 men on parade, including the bands and signalling section. Owing to the unfavorable weather' for the past two days, the march out was called off, and the companies were separately in- structed in the armouries. The re eruits in the ranks were conspicuous, but the members of the "awkward aad" are getting some of the rough ges worn off. A numiber were sworn in after parade. Maj. C. A. Low was in command. The next battalion drill will be held Monday evening to the cricket field, when, it is expected, Lieut.-Col. A. B., Cunningham will have returned from the west, and re- sumed command. At a meeting of the officers, held after para¥le, the question of the campy was discussed. Some of the com: panies almost as a whole, have signi tied their intention of going under can- vas, and it is expected when the men really understand the conditions under which they go, the regiment will be well represented. The regiment mareh- es mn on Thursday evening, June Gth, and the instruction will terminate in time for the men to resume their business and work the following Mon- day motning, so that they will only be absent from their oceapation, Fri day and Saturday. Sunday, it is un- derstood, a drumhbead service will be held at the camp, with the other city regiments under canvas at that time. The extra pay allowance is very libe- ral. Each company will mess separ- ately, and everything will be done to make this néw feature in the season's training enjoyable, as well as instruc tive, One of the company eaptains brought up the question of the regiment pur- suing a new plan regarding the handling of uniforms, and that was to allow the men to hold their outlits the year round, instead of returning them to their company armouries at the conclusion of the drill season yearly, and receiving them again the following spring. A good deal was said both pro and con on the ques tion. A committee was appointed, composed of the quarter-master and the company commanders, to deal with the question, und, if feasible, carrying it on to the proper superior authori- ties. The present system envolves no small amount of work on the otlicers. Several other regiments throughout the country use the proposed system regarding the uniforms. The feeling among the officers, which is not altogether new, but was voiced at Monday evening's meeting, is that tin order to develop the social side of regimental life, a club room should be provided for each company, where the men could gather the year round and enjoy themselves. At the present time every available cuble foot of the Armouries is occupied, and the solu- tion of the problem from this quarter appears rather hopeless. However, a move will be made in the matter. GAVE WHIG A LEMON. But it Was the Real Thing, and =» : .. Bepuy. John Ferguson, of Inverary, was in the city on Saturday and while mak- ing a call at the Whig handed the business ofli'e a lemon, No, dear reader, not the kind so often spoten about on the street, but a real, live lemon, of the acid flavor, and a beauty at that. It is now on exhibi- tion in the Whig office. The lemon weighs half a pound and was grown by Mr. Ferguson in his own Touse. The plant is two years old and was in bloom at Christmas It is full sized, as large as two or dinary lemons, and was picked oo Friday. The tree is eighteen inches high, and there are six lemons and additional blossoms, The flavor of the lemon is excellent, and will rank first-class with any of its kind. Mr. Ferguson also has an orange tree which last year bore good fruit. He is to be congratulated up- on his success in this patticular line. PROF. NICOL'S REPORT. School of Mining Tested the New Coins. Prof. William Nicol, of the School of Mining, is one of a com- mission of three that have sent the minister of finance a detailed re- port regarding an examination of & package of coins from the Otta- wa mint. The analysis goes into detail .and the report says: 'We ascertained that the number coins in each packet produced to us corresponded with the number which the officers of the mint rep- resented it to contain." Details are given as to the weighing, melt- ting and assaying of both silver and copper coins. The Late Miss Jessie Craig.

A meeting. of the excentive of the Sunday school A.A A. has been call- ed to meet, Saturday evening, to try and mane sbme arrangements for the season.

A meeling of the City Baseball League has been ealled for Monday evening. Certificates of the players should be handed in at this meeting. Victorias will practice at the cric ket field on Monday evening and C.L C. will practice there, Tuesday even- ing. Mercantile Baseball Trouble. The Sunday school baseball league last year had a couple of stormy ses sions-over the. same quegtion as faced the Mercantile league at its meeting Wednesday evening, and that was the barging of city league players from playing 'n the scheduled games of the Mercantile league. The Sunday school league did not go quite as far as to keep all city league men out, but bas red them figuring in the battery. But the Mercantile league decided to "pro- hiibit"" all senior league men. There is a good deal to be said on both sides, for and ggainst the mo tion, but certainly in the Sunday school league, last year, some likely men were brought out, while other w'ie they would never have caught a place on the teams, more expert men holding down the positions. On the other hand, prebably the class of bull played was not up to the standard of the previous year. The Live Coals feel quite strongly in the matter, and will likely drop out of the Mercantile league for this season.
