The Senior City Baseball League will open on Saturday May 20th, when Ponies and Athletics will clash. This was the decision of the execu- tive of the City Baseball League at its meeting held in the Y.M.C.A. parlors on Baturday evening. Victorias, champions of last year drew the bye, After much discussion it was fin- ally decided that only three teams! would be allowed admission in the series. Queen's, which was expected would enter the series, was not rep- resented. The members of the execu- tive were anxious that any team which by applying might be grant- ed admission but on account of so many of the players not being able to get away from their places of busi- ness until two o'clock in the after-| noon it would be impossible to even think of a four team schedule as it would reqgire from one o'clock until almost six to pull off the two games. It is the desire of the executive that all Queen's men be used by any of the three teams. On account of only two junior teams being represented, nothing definite was decided upon as to a! Junior series. Association Football On Saturday afternoon a team cap- tained by. Sergt.-Major J.

He and I were in| charge of eight horses, the property of William Weller, of Cobourg, who | held a mail contract with the Cana-| dian Government from Toronto to| Montreal, the horses were awaiting | shipment to Kingston and there | placed on St.John's Island for a sum- | mer run. Myself and young Polly had invited the two bright and cle-| ver daughters of Mr. Ross to join us | in a "May Day Drive" after four] spanking bays. The four bays were | hoo™ed to a two-seated carriage and | after dinner we set out for a little] whirl after the long tailed bays. The] day was an ideal one, the sun most | brilliant and radient. Sur course | was down the lake shore and the roads were fine, We drove to the| provincial boundary line ten miles | east of Lancaster, the neat little| hotel there stood half and half in| each province; we entertained our| | two charming young friends and] | ourselves to a dainty repast, a cup | of good tea with an ample supply of | pure maple syrup; our return was a! | most delightful one. { The late Mr. Weller we speak of, | Judge! | Weller.

She Was About the Market On Saturday And Then Was Missed. ; Mrs. Frederick Temple, wife of B. 8. M. Instructor: Temple, Royal School of Artillery staff, disappeared on Saturday morning and'since then| absolutely no trace of her can be found. She was last seen some time on the market. Sergt.-Major and Mrs, Temple and a bright little two-year-old daughter, Gladys, have been living in a suite of rooms at the corner of Barrack and Wellington streets for the last two years, coming here from Ottawa. The family life was all that could be desired and Mrs. Temple was devoted jo har little daughter as was her hus- and. On Saturday morning as usual she went to market leaving the house about nine o'clock. Since then des- pite the most urgent inquiries by her husband from every possible source not the slightest clue as to her where- abouts can be secured. When two o'clock came and she did not return Sergt.-Major Temple reported the matter to the Police Station, the hos- pitals and the undertakers but from none of these was there any clue. In an interview Sergt.-Maj. Temple was unable to give an idea of her present whereabouts. The family life was always of the very happiest kind little daughter. There was no reason why she would leave of her own ac- cord and yet no report of an acci- dent of anything of a like nature has been heard of. Friends saw her on the market as usual on Saturday morning.

Not long ago'a herd took possession of the short branch line from Latiguri to Ramshahi. The driver did his best to frighten them off, but at the last moment one of the animals made for the engine an damaged it slightly, though it was itself thrown off the line, and is be- lieved to have broken a leg. ITCHY SALT RHEUM Sometimes Called Eczema---Removed by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Salt rheum is one of the worst and unforfunately one of the most common of all diseases. How it reddens the skin, itches, oozes, dries and scales, and then does this all over agdin! Sometimes it covers the whole body with inflamed, burn- ing patches and causes intense suf- fering, which is commonly worse at night. Local applications may do some good, but they cannot permanently relieve. The disease will continue to annoy, pain and perhaps agonize, until the blood has been purified and the general health improved. Ask your druggist for Hood's Sar- saparilla, the good old reliable fam- ily 'remedy. It has given peifect satisfaction in thousands of cases. Insist on having Hood's Sarsaparilia, for no substitute acts like it. it to-day. rl each Perhaps you like both--one for | breakfast and dinner--the other for | luncheon or supper.
