aOR HAD ITS OPENING ON TUESDAY . WIPH GOOD WEATHER. A Baseball Match and a Horse Race Were .the Field Attractions--The Attendance Was Good. Ideal weather greeted the Wolfe Islanders for the upening day of their annual fair "which took place "on Tuesday afternoon. Although it was the first day, over three hun- dred people paid admission at the gate. The field programme' consist- ed of a baseball match and a green horse race, In the main building on the grounds, there was a splendid dis- play of vegetables, grain and other crops. In ope end.of the 'building the ladies had arranged a beautiful display of flowers and fancy werk, hich, were highly praised by all who attended the show. e islanders stated that their grain\ crop this season is a great deal porter than a year ago while the hay crop is not nearly as good. There has been a fair crop of pota- toes when one considers the dry weather which the farmers had to contend with during the early part of 'the summer. Although the offering of poultry was somewhat smaller than at pre vious shows, it was of a better class Very few horses were shown but those on the grounds were some of the best seen at any of the fairs this fall. The cattle will be shawn or Wednesday afternoon. A number of people from the city went over to attend the show. The Steamer Wolfe Tslander made a couple of extra trips so 'as to ac comodate the crowd.

City Hall fy erul superintendent, Henderson Horne; 8.8.7 WILL : CALIBRE THIS FALL, A List" Of the Players Who Will Try For Plaves -- Honorary Monday. Queen's rugby prospects for this season are certainly excellent, if ome is to judge by the men who out for the heavy practice Monday. The following of last year's team will be out: - Hill, Hazlett, Scott, McCartney and Macdonald, in the back division; Quigley, quarter; Pil- grim, White, McQuay, Box, McLeod, Ellis and Freida on the wing line. The following second year men and interfaculty stars will be on the job on Monday : Rowland, who is at present practising with Hamilton Ti gers; House, Hara, Nicholson, Slinn, Buéhanan, wash, R-"Eyons and R. Young, who were two of last year's Collegiate cham- pionship team stars, are already out to practice. Erskine, who played on the team for the four years he was at college, and who is at present at Valcartier, has notified the coach that he will try for a place on the team. Coach Lindsay Malcolm is "expected up from Valcartier on Sunduy and the team will have its first werim- image on Monday. , Meanwhile the players are getting out every after noon on the lower campus, kicking and pasbing. The above array ought to be one of the best teams that Queen's have ever turned out, and there #8 no doubt that it will be one of the contenders for the championship, as 'Varsity and MeGill are both weakened by the loss many of their best players gradua- ving. Coach Malcolm has 'arranged with "Hughie" Macdounell andv "Art 'Turner, two ex-stars of the Queen's gridiron, to. help him get the team mio shape. Kingston Rifle Association. In the Canadian Riffe league com- petitions for 1914, in which every rifle association in the dominion is represented, the first team of the Kingston Rifle assoclation secured third place; last year in the same competition, its position was fourth. The second team did much better, having advanced from 49th place last year, to 25th place this year. i This is a highly creditable perfor- | mance by the association in gen- eral. The interest and harmony ex- isting amongst the members ac- counts in no small measure for the success thus attained.
