It is 'very strange the curiosity shown around court rooms, when pri- soners are brought up for sentemce. At the court house on Thursday, when two young men were sentenced for holding up a man and robbing him, the court house was visited by a large crowd of young men who were very anxious to hear the evidence and the sentence passed by the court. '"T'hese men are Kingston's unem- ployed," one citizen was heard to re mark. They crowded into Judge Price's chambers, and as soon as the cases | were disposed of, filed out in quick or- der. When some poor unfortunite gets {into trouble, there is always an eager ierowd around to watch him, and thus humiliate him by their presence. And it is the same way in the city police court, nearly every day the po- lice court room is filled with specta- tors. And they are pretty near the same people who attend these sessions every day. It is indeed wonderful how they find the time to attend the police court ev ery day. The majority of them must be out employment, for if they were working, they would not be able to be a "regular" at the police court | proceedings. | Some days the police court room will not hold the crowd that gathers to hear some particular case, and at { times, the magistrate has to clear the court if there is a particularly lengthy sefsion, as one would almost suffocat, in the room with such a crowd. The curiosity of some people leads them to wait around the police court door for hours at a time, waiting for it to open so that they can get on the inside and hear all the proceed ings. But this ' curiosity only in Kingston. Iti is to be found in every place, but in these busy days, when there is such a great demand for work- men, and when such high wages ar paid, it "does seem strange that s) maf people can afford to "kill" tim: in witnessing cases at the police court. of is not IN MARINE CIRCLES.

Sells-Floto are offering a horse cir cus before anything else--horseflesh forms the paramount par. and Is (bs main centre of interest. Of course sidé the horses and they are all first class. After the grand entry, in which most of the circus actors took part, the three rings were first occupied by horses. the costumes of the riders] in the centre ring being white and in the two side rings red and with white trimmings. Flo Robinson, on '""Mazeppa, the marble horse," and Irene Montgomery on "May Day," a horse going under the same caption, | occupied the two end rings next while about forty clowns disported io AND BAGS the centre stage. One of the features of the circus came next, Miss Margaret Rica dc introduced her troupe of African lions and Bengal tigers, advert' «u| as the nrst time these two species have been brought together in the' same cage.

BASEBALL CIRCLES VICTORIAS AND ATHLETICS MEET ON SATURDAY, Bethel Has Some Outside Challenges --Cooke's Still Leads Sunday School League--Big League Scores on Thursday. The baseball game to be played in the senior series of 'the city league on Saturday will be between the Victor- ias and Athletics. The latter will be out stronger than ever for this game | and the battery will in all probability | be either Little or Derry in the box and Evans as catcher. The rest of the team will be the same as went up against Garnocks, of Gananoque, on August 2nd. Spencer, the first baseman, is not likely to try to steal home when the pitcher is throwing the ball to the batter. At last Saturday's game he was caught twice in doing so. On one occasion he made a fine three- base hit, but being over-anxious to score he lost all by his attempted steal home when there was not the slightest chance of making it. The Victorias will be strong and will have either Mé¢Cammon or Gilles- pie pitching. Both teams have been doing considerable practising and a close game is likely to be the result. a American Rates and Railways. Local railway officials will secure a.crumb of comfort and encourage | ment when they read what J. H Haslam says about European rail- ways as compared with railways of this continent. . There may be som4 question as to the superior efficiency of our railways, but most readers] must know by this time that the rates on the whole are higher in Eu- rope than they are in the United States and Canada. In making his comparisons Commissioner Haslam, who is chairman of the commission to investigate agricultural credits, also European wheat markets, does not take into account the fact of tha higher cost of production, the higher rate of wages paid to trainmen, en: ginemen, and all who belp to move the world's freight.
