The 8th C.M.R. is un-| | doubtedly one of the best trained | | cavalry units in the country, and if | | the opportunity .occurred would do | splendid work at that kind of work. | As infantry, the work would be quite {different. | The men of the 8th C.M.R. and | | 7th Artillery Brigade paraded on | | Tuesday for the selection of the men | | for the draft which leaves in a few | { days. The officers in both cases ask-| |ed for volunteers to step forward. | Every man immediately stepped for- ward. The officers then realized {that to choose the men to be sent {would be a difficult task indeed. In | several cases the choice would be be- | |tween two men and lots would be drawn. In every case the men did} [their utmost to be included in the | | list and there are many disappoint- | jed ones who will have to wait for | | the next draft.

In consideration of this good work, although' he was very anxious to go, Lieut. Hilliard offer- ed to take even chances as to which) would go. The two went to the Commandant's office and consulted Col. T. D. R. Hemming. . It was de- cided that Col. Heming would toss a coin and the winner g0 oversea. Lieut.

O'Connor took exception to} this, after reading from a document | wherein it was stated by Mr. Stuart | at Ottawa that roadways so treated | * would not withstand heavy traffic. | Ald. O'Connor raised the objection of | laying out' money that would only be | wasted. | Ald. O'Connor finally asked the | Engineer if lie would recommend | tarvia for Brock street. The latter | replied that he would not. Ald. Nickle and the Engineer had a lively argument, the former up- holding the good qualities of tarvia, and favoring the treatment of Brock street roadway as recommended to the City Council recently.

Goodall, Ottawa, attached to the 38th Battalion, now lies in the General Hospital in a critical condi- tion, not being expected to live. The injured soldier was a recruit, and had first enlisted at Toronto, whence he was transferred to Smith's Falls From there he was later transferred to Ottawa, and came with the 38th to' Barriefield Heights.
