Thieves Also Stripped Apple Tree--' 'The Theft Was a Daring One--\ Constable Is In Need. A daring theft occurred at Cata- raqui on Monday might when thes farm Thomas Weston was visited by some unknown persons. Before retiring for the night Mr. | Weston and his hired help arrang- ed the produce in the market wag- gon .in readiness to leave for. city on Tuesday morning at an early hour. Upon going down tq the wag- gon on Tuesday morning Mr. Wes- ton noticed that some person had visited the place during the night and carried off three crates of red raspberries. When he made a search his orchard he found that the thieves had visited that »lace and stripped. one of his harvest ape trees. It 1s evident that the persons who did the deed must have had a wag- gon. as they could not carry the sto - en goods away. They must have known the farm well or they could rot have located the- harvest apple tree. | For some months the market gar- deners at Cataraqui have been troub- {led by thieves. Mr, Cook: a gardin- | er, when speaking to th: Waig {tout the affair, stated that he ha? reported the presence of thieves to the reeve some time ago, and also | stated that the residents of Cata- | raqui would be willing to chip in iand pay. the cest of a constable if | they thought they could catch the | guilty parties. | Letters To Editor | A Croquet Challenge. | Kingston, Aug. 7.-- (To the Edi- |tor): Anent the jolly badinage of! | "The Lampman™, with respect to the | | premier-and apparently unassailable | position occupied by that splendidly | equipped, and seasoned sporting or- | ganization, '""the Kingston Ladies | Croquet Club, and also, the absence! | or latk of the chivalrous sporting in: | stinct that would impel the gentle- | men of Kingston to maintain a criec- | ket club, or to give battle to the la-| | dies at their favorite but by not means exclusive pastime, on their |'beautiful lawn amidst most charm- | ing surroundings. permit me to say: "The northeast side of Kingston, | | or, that part of it contiguous to the {old carworks site, boasts an infant] | croquet club, less than six. weeks | | old, composed of respectable young | | mechanics, and laborers, who feel | {that in considering this moot ques- | tion they are justly entitled to cham- | pionship honor at this ancient, inter- | esting, and scientific game.

Company of the narrow es- cape a street ear had Monday when aC. N. R. train enginoer ignored the signal near the Montreal street crossing and came ahead while a car was about to cross the tracks. The car was successfully thrown off the tracks by the motorman to avoid a collision. The street railway su- perintendent states that the ndxt time a locomotive engineer ignores the signal, the matter will be report- ed to the Dominion Railway Board. Auto Tourists Increase. The wet weather does not seem to be interfering seribusly with the tourist traffic. For the last ing through the city has been a great deal above the average despite the weather and the condition of the roads. Merchants say that if dry weather would prevail for a long enough time to dry up the roads, the tourist traffic would be greatly increased. Presented a Cup. Lieut.~Col. C. T.
