Js eradsvi For 98 The guns and vehicles of the R. C. H. A. were loaded on Thursday preparatory to going to Petawawa Camp. It is expected that the bat- tery would leave the city about five o'clock for the northern camp, The 13th Artillery Brigade is not expected to go to Petawawa until Monday. Capt. G. I. Campbell, chaplain of the 146th Battalion, is interesting himself in the recruiting of the last 200 men for the battalion. He is establishing depots in several parts of the city and worked most of Tues- day on one opposite the Grand Opera House on Princess street. Decor- ations and patriotic posters drew the attention of the public to the need of men and good results are expected, The following men who crossed the ocean on the SS. Scandinavian ar- rived in the city on Tuesday. Their names and homes are: Lance-Corpl. T. W. Angel, Ottawa; Pte, Gillette, F. Underwood, and W, J. Williams, Peterboro; Pte. Maxwell, Winchester. It was a happy thought indeed that inspired Lieut.-Col. Charles A. Low to to decide that his battalion should be known as the "Frontenacs." No name is associated more favorably or honorably with the history of Can- ada than that of the gallant Fron- tenac. The same aggressive fighting spirit that has always characterized the different sporting organizations Who have adopted the name "Fron- tenac' is shown in the spirit of the 146th Battalion, C. E. F., and Col. Low made a wise decision in adopt- ing this name for his Battalion, Teronto has "the Buffs, "The Beavers," 'the Bantams," "the 4 Sportsmens," ete., but "the Fronten- acs' promises to be a name and a bat- talion that will reflect great credit upon this historic old city and coun- ty. Capt. James T. Sutherland, quar- termaster of the 146th Battalion, certainly deserves great credit for his untiring energies in making the big celebration on Wednesday the success that it was. The big mili-| tary parade was given through the kindness of Col. T. D. R. Hemming, D.0.C., at the suggestion of the pop- ular quartermaster and the several events at the Fair Grounds were put on largely through his efforts. It is fortunate that such good weather came for the big day and everything | proved to be such a success, The following probationery officers Never in the history of the world has dancing taken such a strong hold on the public as the present day, and any one not dancing the new dances finds himself a back number at even the smallest social gathering. New York is recognized as the dancing centre of America, and one has only to visit the smart restaurants after- noons or evenings to find them thronged with merry people, young and old, enjoying this healthy and fascinating amusement. For the people of Kingston desir- ous of learning the new dances an un- usual opportunity is being given them through the management of the Lindsay Piano Co., Princess street, engaging York Sleeth, of the Little Playhouse, Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Sleeth was formerly connected with the Mission Tea Rooms, Toron- to, and his work is most favorably known among the smart society cir- cle of that city. Having spent the past few weeks in New York, Mr. Sleeth is prepared to teach absolute- ly the latest dances quickly and cor- rectly. For the remainder of this week and all next week Mr. Sleeth may be interviewed at the Lindsay Studie previous to his leaving for Niagara- on-the-Lake, where he will have charge of the tea dancés at the "Knoll," a delightful new English tea room, patronized by the many officers from the summer camp, before leav- ing for his Muskoka engagement. Those desiring a teacher's course in modern dancing should interview Mr. Sleeth at once, as professional dancers are always in demand. The following graduates of Mr. Sleeth's school prove his superior method of instruction: Reginald Stewart, New York; Miss Muriel Parker, Toronto; Miss L. Quinn, New York; Miss Irene Jeffaries, Toronto; Scott Patton, New York; IvanTull, Cincinnati, Ohio; Miss Lois Bryson, Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Sleeth's advertisement appears in this evening's Whig, and full in- formation may be had by phoning the LindSay Piano Co., Princess A Eo.

Last night Princess street was full of batterymen, and the sa- lute was given them everywhere. But they got no return. One recruit was heard to say with disgust: "I have saluted about fifty of them fellows, and they have never returned it. They don't know nothing!'
